How could I forget the best part of the trip.....last night all three of us were praying at bedtime and as always finshed up by saying Amen, Jesus! Next thing I know a pair of bright blue eyes looked at me and said "amen, ma ma? Amen?" Me.."yes, baby girl, amen!!!!!!!" Addi, "Amen!"

Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18, NLT

Our heavenly father is so amazing!! We just got back from our trip to Nashville with our hearts full of joy and praise! Dr. Tulipan was very pleaded with Addi's progress. We are excitied to report that Addis ventricles have gotten smaller and the shunt is working well. He did mention that the shunt tubing is 'coming' out of the ventricle due to Addi's growth. As to be expected. Dr. Tulipan is not worried abs said that is may be possible down the road that she may no longer require a shunt. Wouldn't that be another blessing?!?!?! One day at time, remembering to be thankful for what we have been given. Being in Nashville, it may sound a little wierd, but feels comfortable. It holds such memories and emotions for me!! Some good, some less desirable but nonetheless like home away from home. It really brings to my attention God awesome grace and mercies that he gave us and continues to give us everyday! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We did visit some of our favorite restaurants and order our favorite dishes! Spinach artichoke dip and Matts favorite chicken fingers at Bricktops and also J. Alexanders where some famous individuals have been known to dine.
Each restaurant holds fun memories for me! How blessed were mom and I during our stay there to have such amazing choices if restaurants!
We also drove by the fun pond where mom and spent many hours walking and feeding the ducks and geese. Addi loved watching them from the car window since it was so cold with snow on the ground.
Addi as always was a trooper on the plane and in the airport.
We are headed to Childrens Mercy tommorrow for clinic. We will post tomorrow the results.
All glory to God!!!
