Good News

I'm happy to report that my sister was sent home from the hospital without being induced. Further tests showed a lower blood pressure, more amniotic fluid and a happy baby. Emily's thrilled -- and probably exhausted after the roller coaster of emotions she's been on. In her words, "I wasn't ready mentally to have a baby today." Amen and amen.

She went straight from the hospital to a birthday dinner for her husband. (They ate out instead of having her make it. Luke is considerate like that.) Personally, I think they both deserve a free dessert. Go for the hot fudge, Em.

And thank you, sweet friends, for your prayers. Certainly, God is God no matter what happens. Therein lies our faith. But tonight, I'm thanking Him for His healing hand on Emily and that sweet little one.

I can't wait to meet her ... in a few weeks.
