The results are back

I have been waiting for a long time to post anything. We were waiting for some tests to come back to see if she had whooping cough or not. It has been a long wait but they called me today to let me know that they had no idea what was wrong with her. We did take the meds for the cough & the cough is all most gone.( praise God) For a while we thought that she had something real bad. We took her to the doc that said that she had a lot of babys that were from other places & knew what to look for. Well I don't know what to think, she never found out what was wrong with Destiny. So should I get another doc or stick with her? The first time we went in she said that there was nothing wrong with her, she said that her cough was just in her throat. So a week later when she was coughing so bad that she sounded like she was having dry heaves. I took her back, she coughed & coughed untel the doc walked in, then she would not cough again. She did cough a little after she had been crying for a while, but not like she was before. So we did the test that took a long time to come back, & now we know no more about what was wrong with her then before.


Now on to better new she has changhed so much since we came home. Before she could not hold your hand, now she has a very good grip. Before she could not stand on her legs( she had jelly legs), now she loves to stand. I know you will think I am crazy but I think she can say hi & ya. When you say hi to her she almost always says hi back to you. When you ask her if she wants a drink she almost always says ya. It is so cute!


She can not roll over yet but she is very close, she gets half way then goes back when she gets what she wants. She can sit with people to watch her for a little while then she falls down. It is coming & she is getting it, that is good enough for me.


When we took her in they said that she was in the 15th percentile on weight & 5th in height. Then they took her back to when she should have been born, & she was 50th in weight & 28th in height they said she looked good, we know that. She always looked good to us. The only thing that they said bad was that she has a premie head. What does that mean? We thing her head is just fine just needs some more hair on it.


So I bet you would like to know what we have been doing since we got back. Well we have been going going gone. We went to family camp whitch she loved very much, she loves being out & under the trees. Also our middle daughter ( that just sounds weird to me) went back to collage so we took a road trip to get her all moved back in. Then our oldest daughter went to Coasta Rica on Monday, so we took her to the airport, & ran home to take the boys to school. Boy is the house quiet now.


But before they all went there own way. I thought that I would never get to hold her again. The girls wanted to take her with them everywhere they went. Then when she was home the boys had to hold her all the time. I don't think she got very good sleep tell night. When all the kids went to sleep. Then she would sleep very good, some times she does not get up tell 10am. Boy do I like that, because so do I. She is a very good baby she likes all people & will go to anyone with out crying, tell she can't see one of us. Then she lets them know that she would like one of us back. She still has the smallest cry I have ever heard, but it has got a little bigger if she don't get your attention. But it still sounds like a little kitty.


Well would you like to see some photos of how she looks now?

This was her last bath, she is not a fan of baths, but she does like to take showers. Look at that tummy. This was taken a week after we got home.
This little cape was given to us by some friends in MT. We think she looks so cute in it, & she likes it alot.
I was going to post two days ago on her 6 month birthday, but I was working at a Bill Gaither show. It was good from what I could hear. She is a big girl now, at least she thinks so. This her standing, she loves to stand up. She smiles & smiles & thinks she is so big.

As for all of us this has been a very big blessing to have her in our lifes & we can't think of how it would be with out her here.

I would like to tell you what happend in the hotel as we were taking Brittany to school that night. We got to our hotel & all sleeping when my oldest boy started to hitting me. When he woke up I asked him how come he was hitting me. He told me about his dream. He said that someone was trying to take his baby sister, & that someone had already shot him so he was trying to hit him to get her back. That is when he found out he was hitting me. He said that he can't reameber what it was like not having her in his life, & he said that he can't think about leaving her when he goes to collage next year. He said that he would have to put her in his bag & take her with him. That is so sweet for a 18 year old boy. I love all my kids so much, & would not know what to do with out their smiles & love. They rock my world!!!

Love ya all!
