I've had the Avett Brothers song, "Life" in my head all weekend "Live life, love it, be grateful for it, we're not of this world for long,,," & it all culminated today with a great visit with Georgia's GI. She continues to grow, he's liking the progress. She's still not on the charts for her weight, but the growth rate is improving. He approved her to start having small tastes of food. He also is pushing for her to get some intensive feeding therapy and vital stim therapy to help her swallow develop. He said every note I read on her the doctor or therapist talks about what a happy, sweet, adorable baby you have. People just fall in love with Georgia she has a sweet, special spirit.
Driving home I had a deep impression about the love that Heavenly Father has for me. Not just because Georgia's doing so well, but honestly I'm grateful he trusted me with her and this trial. My family has grown & learned so much. My capacity to love & understand others has grown. My testimony of service has grown. Most of all, I have learned to have faith in God & trust in his plan for me.

Moving forward!
J tube got pulled today. I promised myself I wouldn't back down on wanting it surgically removed. He told me she has already had one too many surgeries & didn't want to do another for the 5 % chance it would create a twisted bowel one day. Said the scar tissue he'd create would likely only raise chances there would be bowel problems in future. So he literally pulled out her j tube right there & after 6 months of wanting it out, I wonder if I made the right choice,,,trying not to live in past.
On a high note, SHE IS CRAWLING!!!! On march 4th, her nine month bday she just took off, like she'd been doing it all her life. So exciting!
