Six Months
Today marks the date of 6 months of Ana being seizure free!! Each month, I quietly celebrate, but making it 6 months is very exciting!! Hopefully this means her medicine is working and she will outgrow the seizures. Either way, we know this little girl is a fighter. She could have easily died several times already in her short life. The other day I packed away her medical bracelets (the ones she wore both times while in the hospital for seizures). I used to keep them on her dresser in her room as a reminder to me how fragile life is, how fragile Ana's life is. But now, I put them away because I found it made me sad and it held me back. I don't need them to remind me how close we came to losing her. I just want to live in the moment with her. Not in the past or worrying about her future, but just live today with her!

Amen! This is such great news, Nikki. With all the excitement about Durant, I had forgotten about Ana's seizures. God is good! And this is a beautiful picture of her, also!
In many ways, you are my hero Nikk!
That's great...she is a pretty amazing little girl. She has been a blessing to us in just the short time we have gotten to know her. And Happy Birthday, Ana! We love you!
