Today Addilyn and I visited a friend from church who has CF and is in the hospital. While we were there, the nurse was telling me how much she liked Addilyn's name and it came up that she'd only heard it once before. She met another 18 month old last week as a CF patient, fighting for her life in the hospital and whose name was the same as my sweet (healthy) girl. The nurse even made the comment "That Addilyn's Mommy isn't quite as lucky as this Addilyn's Mommy." She's so right. But, I wouldn't use the word lucky. Blessed. Completely, beyond belief, blessed.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Jesus for my healthy girl that I get to spend my days with. Thank You that the only time I've seen my daughter pricked with needles is for quick shots to keep her healthy. Thank You that she's running, climbing, eating, and throwing fits just like she's supposed to. Thank you that

is the face I see when we ask her "Where are your smiles?". Psalm 146:1
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
