a good day...

It is the end of a long, but good day. 7:10 actually and at one point in life I would think the day has just begun. Not so much anymore. It is funny what 3 kids and some years on life does to that.
Kasi was "Kasi-sat" today for the first time. Yep, her cousins and Aunt Deb came over to spend some time with her and that freed me up to go to Aubree's 2 soccer games. In which she tied and her coach was satisfied with their play, but her mom was not. Funny! For those of you who know me well can imagine I am sure. :-) It was nice to get out of the house! It was one on one time with Aub too which made it twice as nice. We needed that.
As for Ben, he is feeling better. No fever today which is a blessing and he seems to have some energy back. Although he did have to take a nap today, which he doesn't do. It was good for him, I just hope he goes to bed on time tonight!
I have realized by the reaction on people that see Kasi that everyone who reads this is understanding the miracle in her. The fact that she is still without pain is amazing! There are two reasons for that I am convinced. First and foremost....GOD! He has freed her from pain. This is not just something that has happened for this particular moment, but has been Kasi's life. With all of her surgeries and procedures you know I don't ever remember her complaining of pain. When she was a baby and had her first heart surgery they gave her morphine and she stopped breathing. Of course they took her off right away, but they gave her Tylenol after that. I am not sure if she needed it because she really didn't show signs of pain even then. She would get "uncomfortable" which she complains about now once in a while, but never did she really cry. What an amazing God we have to build her in such a way that she doesn't really feel pain. Or has such a high pain tolerance that it really doesn't register as pain to her. That is my explanations for that. Either which way you look at it, it is simply God's hand at work in her life. In the past, present, and we know in the future as well.
Kasi right now is tired from a long day and going to be sleeping in a couple of hours I am sure. Although her sleep is not for a full night yet, it is peaceful when she is sleeping.
I hear some questions here and there about her and her progress because of something I may have written on past days. If you have any questions about her, please just comment and I will answer as many as I have answers for. I know the big one is, "how tall is she?" We will find out Monday, but we do know she is taller than Aubree and not as tall as me. =D
As for her eating and such, she does eat, just not much. What she does eat is healthy so we keep feeding that to her. She seems to want a lot of apples! This is good because we have a lot!
Please keep praying for strength in her and for her to stay healthy. We are also continuing prayers for her heart. Her heart Dr. will do the big check up in a couple of months when her body has recovered from surgery.
She is also very stir crazy. She doesn't have much sit in her, I have no idea where she got that from either, hummm. She knows she has to lie low, but it is hard for her to do this all of the time. She does get up and play games and such, but is very tired after a few hours of that. No she doesn't sit the whole time, she sits then walks and sits and walks....you get the idea. Her balance is coming along very nice too. At first it was a new experience to stand up straight. She has that down now which is great, now I have to get her to walk straight up instead of leaning forward. Something else to get used to. Strength, strength, strength.....that is what she needs!
I think that is all for now. I am going to go and join them in "movie time"! I think Hairspray is the movie of choice tonight.
Have a great evening! Thank you for your continued prayers and your walk with us in this journey. You can see how God is answering all of our prayers together. What a blessing! I am truly blessed!
We Praise you Father.......today and always.
