7 months old & we're home!

It's been an exciting past couple of days.  Dahlia turned 7 months old and after 7 long, intense, life changing months we are finally home!!  After only being able to see Brian and the rest of the kids on the weekends it has been heaven being together again.  I'm not going to lie there have been times I've wanted to pull my hair out trying to organize all of Dahlia things in our extremely small house, and tyring to get her back on her schedule again, but we have made it work.  One of the hardest things for me about having a child that has had a heart transplant has been trying not to worry constantly and feel sad about her future, the worry is always there and can really wear you down.  Well recently I have stopped worrying so much.  Our family was able to meet with a young man in his twenty's who had a heart transplant as a baby.  He is actually serving as a missionary for our church and is new to our area.  Let me tell you the odds of just running into someone that old, who had a heart transplant as a baby are so extremely low, that I know meeting him was not a coincidence.  His story was so uplifting, and he has led a normal life, even playing sports while he was in school. I know our journey with Dahlia may not always be easy, but it will be one filled with HOPE, joy, and love.
