Courage

It had been a long time since Elizabeth's Beads of Courage had been updated so I asked her nurse today if she could do that and she obliged. I brought it all back to the clown house with me and let's just say I am out of string long before I am out of beads. I will need a second string. 

There was also a "courage" bead in there that was new with this.

Wow! How cool is that?? 

Also, I had an a-ha moment in the shower this morning as I was thinking about her original due date coming up next week. If she had been born now, it would have been in Safford at Mount Graham Medical Center and they either would have sent us home or wondered why she wasn't pooping yet. 

Either way it would have resulted in a helicopter ride for her and a long car ride for two frantic parents. And who knows how it would have played out. God does. Maybe that's why she needed to come early. I am so thankful that He is in charge. I just hope and pray He sees fit for her bowels to start functioning the way they should soon.
