Logan's Sisters: 2014-01-05

Olivia lost her second tooth last night. It just fell right out while I was brushing her teeth. She was excited about this one and even let the tooth fairy take it!

It has been amazing to watch Abigail's progress on two feet. She walks all over now and is so proud of herself. She is getting to be a pro!

Pinky

As you know, Olivia's hamster passed away on Christmas Eve. He lost use of his back legs and could not reach his water bottle. Our vet was closed and the emergency vet didn't handle exotics or anything other than dogs or cats. So, I called my sister in law and got the number to her vet. They were open. So, Ryan took Pinky in and there was nothing they could do for him and we didn't want him to suffer. So, we had him put to sleep.

Yesterday, Olivia got a package in the mail from that vet's office.

How very sweet and thoughtful. Especially for a little hamster and for people who are not even regular clients. If we didn't love our vet so much, we would change. Olivia will treasure it forever. And I won't lie. . .I kinda teared up too.

Another Tobey Update

This is why it is so important to have a vet that you know and trust. Tobey has been at the vet for the past two weeks. He has had intensive laser treatments on his jaw, been confined and eating only liquified foods. After a repeat X-ray today, his fractured jaw is healing and I was able to cancel his specialist appointment tomorrow. No surgery will be needed! No thousands of dollars will be spent. Our vet feels that it will be completely healed within the next two weeks! Seriously, it's nothing short of a miracle.

So, two more weeks without our bubby. But, so excited with the news and can't wait to bring him home soon!!

Never Before

NEVER BEFORE
by Jodi Glunt

Never before have I known such love
As that which I feel in my heart.
My beautiful daughter, although physically petite
Fills up an enormous part.

Never before have I seen such strength
From a person who weighed but a pound.
And yet she’s a fighter through and through
With very little that gets her down.

Never before have I heard such laughter
With an energy and zest for life.
She consistently shows me the wonder and joy
While overlooking the pain and strife.

Never before have I felt such mercy
From a God who has allowed me to raise
This miraculous, amazing daughter of mine
On earth, throughout all of my days.

A micropreemie shattering every prediction
About the life she had in store.
Teaching us all about the miracles within us
That we never quite realized before.

Playing In Heaven Instead by Jodi Glunt

You were the perfect little boy
Of whom we always dreamed.
Did you know we had your name picked out?
All along or so it seemed.

You even had your daddy’s hands
So miniature in size.
In life we never got to hold you
Or even see your opened eyes.

We had so many plans for you.
Did you know you are a twin?
I wanted you to grow up together.
What a pair you would have been!

I wanted to take you to the park
And push you on the swing.
I wanted to teach you how to walk,
And read and write and sing.

I wanted to show you a fire truck
And let you ride upon a horse.
I wanted to take you to the zoo
To see the giraffes, of course.

I wanted you to watch cartoons
And play video games with dad.
And you and I would take a nap
Oh, the times we would have had.

But, your mommy’s plans were not to be.
“I have other plans,” God said.
“You won't be playing in life’s playground
You’ll be playing in heaven instead.”

And although I ache with sadness
And in my arms I long to hold.
I’ll see you again in heaven
When my story on earth’s been told.

A Poem

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
They are miracles, here on earth
So bold, so strong, so wise
And bring to life a sense of worth
For those who lack great size.

Some of this life’s smaller treasures
Are the ones which matter more
Than the larger joys and pleasures
That we have grown to adore
Volume is not as essential
As the gift that lies inside
Smaller souls with much potential
Who shall never be denied.

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
These children, while born premature
Are testaments of worth
Their spirits bold, their futures sure
To ever bless the earth.
