a year

It has been a year. 
Sadie has completed her 1 year of chemo for Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and her ivad port has been removed. Scans show a 1.5mm thickening still left on her pituitary stalk which is most likely scar tissue.  She passed her growth hormone test this time around (by *one* point... but still...she passed!)  :))  So i am chalking that healing up to "miracle".  She will always take Vassopressin to replace the hormone that the lesion on her pituitary knocked out and that's inconvenient... but minimal.   
The year has been filled with other emotional upheaval. Hard days i never dreamt i would ever see... and yet, i have felt... and daily feel, God's hand in each one in our family as he leads and teaches and corrects. I see that no matter how heavy it gets, God is stronger still.  No matter how huge my need becomes, His provision will be over and above.  God is amazing to me this year.... like seriously... amazing. 
That's all.
