Evie's Miracles (Ancient Cell Phone Edition)

So, Evie's miracle quota seems to have no bounds. 
Spine surgery in two spots of Friday, released on Sunday.  Playing by Wednesday. 
 
Our neurosurgeon had prepared us for the worst case scenario of ICU, extended hospital stay and lots of time laying flat at home. 
 
When she came out of surgery complication free and was placed in a regular room, we knew many prayers had been answered.   
 
She spent two days hanging out horizontal doing lots of snoozing and watching "Happy" on the iPad.  Then balloons sent from KY brought smiles, and visitors started to arrive bringing lots more joy with them.   All things look brighter with Grandma in the room.

We've learned that hospital rooms don't have to be boring. 
A super special overnight guest turned the last night into a slumber party!


Big love to Aunt Jen who showed up with Chipotle, perfect stuck on your back toys and braiding skills.  
More big gratitude to Jace and Karen who brought "bips", chocolate and a book on Saturday night, then arrived Sunday AM with donuts and milk.   They've clearly mastered the art of hospital visitation!
 
 Finally, our girl rolled on out in a red wagon. 
Back home, she chilled on her back and slowly started to sit up for short periods. 
 
Then, all of the sudden there was this. 
Our tiny but mighty girl pushed through aches and pains and started playing again. 
Two rows of sutures down her tiny back and she's smiling and sticking noodles in play doh. 
Oh, girl.  You inspire me.  

Thank you, God, for hearing our prayers and blessing Evelyn with another miracle. 
We are in awe of You and her.
