I choose to believe the report of the Lord!

Well, readers, if you read my post about my harrowing day in July, I have one to top that! On Thursday I updated our CPU with a hand-me-down from Christian's dad - this one doesn;t have to think for ages before opening a window - its awesome! I put the old CPU behind my desk chair on the floor in the living room. Why? I have NO idea! Anyway the next morning, I was holding Karleigh and my cup of coffee (typical sight in the morning) and tripped over said discarded CPU. As I was falling Karleigh was propelled onto the tile floor in our foyer. Typing this makes me sick - replaying the scene in my head ... Anyway, I immediately knew she was hurt because of the force with which her head hit the tile. got in touch with my ped. as I was consoling her and putting an ice pack on her head. We took her to the ped who then sent her for an xray. Sure enough, the xray showed a fracture in the back of her tiny skull. Because of the potential for brain injury and internal bleeding we were sent to the hospital for observation and a CAT scan. At this point we called or texted everyone we knewto pray for our precious baby! And boy, did we get a prayer chain going around the southeast US ... it brings tears to my eyes, just typing this! After an agonizing wait (which really wasn't that long in hospital terms) we received a report of a negative CAT scan - which means no brain injury, no brain bleed AND no fracture seen!! WHAT??? Well, the radiologist tried to explain that the fracture was not visible due to the angle of the CAT scan and it taking pictures that slice every 5mm and the fracture just happened to be in between one of those 5mm slices ... well, I choose to believe the report of the Lord! My baby is perfect and has been healed by the Healer!! Honestly its harder for me to wrap my head around the complicated and highly conincidental "theory" than it is for me to believe that God answered the prayers of probably a hundred or more of His children being raised at the same time in agreement. I'll have you know ... I told my pediatrician that also ... I sound like Sylvia Godwin, don't I? Ha!! We are at home recovering from our traumatic Friday. Little miss Karleigh is acting completely normal for a 7 week old, eating, sleeping and pooping (loudly)! Please keep her in your prayers for the tender bump she has on her head.
Glory be to our amazing God!

I will try to post vacation pictures tomorrow =)
