Tuesday Praise and Prayer.

I've decided that praising and prayer shouldn't be relegated to just Friday of every week so I have decided to do a praise and prayer post any day of the week!

And maybe I've decided to do it that way because I keep forgetting to do it on Fridays.

I'll let you decide.

Praise:

• BOTH of my little babies gained weight this week!!!!! I am so thrilled!!!!! This is the first time in a month that either of them have gained. Thank you for your prayers and donations for formula.

• My two oldest girls are on easter break, and are home for the whole week. Yay! We played hide and seek outside for an hour and a half yesterday. A little harder than you'd think, as I had to hide 4 out of the 5. One kid just came out of her hiding spot anytime someone called her name. One kept crying and/or wandering out of her hiding spot. One kid would be found, then run and hide again because she never wanted to be found. One kid kept crawling out of her hiding spot. And one (who I thought would be the easiest to hide!) moved her feeties and gave her position away! So. Much. Fun.
• We are coming up on one year of being Treasures of God Children's Home. I can hardly take it in. Praise God we have made it this far. 
• We have two new monthly sponsors and we are going to receive a large special donation!!! 
• In the last three and a half weeks we have only gone to the doctor ONCE!!!!! I have been communicating by texts with Marcy's gastroenterologist, and Sara's ENT doctor but that doesn't count. :) This is some sort of record!!! Though I'll break that next week when 4 girls have 5 appointments in the City. I am so thankful that these girls have been stable. 

Prayer:

• Sara and Lupita are going to have their tonsils and adenoids removed. We don't have a date for this yet, but hoping for the week after Easter. Please pray that the surgeries go well (they are high risk because of their special needs), and that it fixes their sleep apnea problems.
• Marcy is going to have a G-tube placed, hopefully at the end of April. This is a small tube that goes through her abdomen and directly into her stomach. It allows us to feed her with more ease. She is eating small amounts, but not enough to survive. She has been with her NG tube for almost a year, and it is not a long term solution. We will continue to feed her by mouth, but the G-tube will allow her to safely get the extra nutrients she needs. 
• Training and wisdom for our staff.

Thanks all for celebrating the good with us, and keeping out girls in your prayers! I really appreciate it!
