As many of you are aware Isaac has been going in for regular CT scans to check the fluid on his brain. On his last visit in November the surgeon told us that he would probably need a shunt to drain the remaining fluid. He wanted to wait to make sure that Isaac was meeting all his milestones, but to prepare ourselves for surgery on his next visit. Monday we packed up all our things and headed to Childrens Hospital. Before we went inside David gave Isaac a blessing, in it he blessed Isaac that the fluid would be absorbed and he would return to perfect health. I have to admit that I was thinking he must be crazy for saying such things, but felt great comfort after the blessing. Our wonderful surgeon Dr. Ellengobogen looked at the latest CT scan, and was amazed to find that the body had absorbed the remaining fluid and that Isaacs brain had filled in perfectly. I wish I could describe the emotional tidal wave that ripped through my body. "Could it really be, did we really make it through this hellish nightmare". Dr. Ellenbogen rapped his arms around Isaac and I as I sobbed tears of joy and laughed when he said "I never want to see you again":). Oh me of little faith, I wish I had not doubted the strength of the Priesthood. After going through such horrible events, I can only see the blessings that our little family has been given. I just want to thank all of you again for the continued prayers, love and strength that we have recieved. We Love You All!!

thank goodness for the power of the priesthood!
From beginning to end it was a journey with a purpose. The Lord always knows the beginning from the end and will turn all things for our good. What amazing promises He makes if we will trust Him. It is no coincidence that the Lord strengthened you while at the same time He was helping Issacs future.. You guys are amazing and showed amazing strength and solidarty through it all.
I love you! Simply Miraculous!
Love,
