Ayla's surgery

Ayla had her dental surgery today. It went pretty well. It was only supposed to take about 1.5-2 hours and it took them 3 instead...no one came to tell us, so we were a bit worried because there was mention of possibly extractions. But the reason it took so long was because she was able to save some teeth. So Praise God for that. Hopefully now that she's off of the steroids, her teeth will improve as well. Other than being dopey and sore she's doing pretty well. She was eating and drinking immediately after, so that is good.
Other than that she is doing well. She is walking even better this week and her foot is turned mostly in!
I met another mom of a boy in Ayla's preschool/therapy this week. She has a little boy that has some disorder where his bones will gradually curve (feet and hands). Usually they don't catch it until kids are 10 years old, he is 3. My heart broke for her when she said, "he'll never be able to play sports, or work with his hands...i shouldn't say never...but probably not." I shared with her how "they" (docs) wanted us to move to Toronto and if we didn't Ayla would likely not recover fully/or walk well ever. I told her that we are Christians and after lots of prayer we felt led not to go, two weeks later Ayla was taking steps on her own...so don't get bogged down with never because all things are possible. And the woman looked at her now and said, "she gets around great!" This for a kid that 7 months ago people were thinking she might never walk (without pain or struggle) ever again. So i said a prayer for her and her boy...you just can never know.
Ezra is having some bad dreams...he's really struggling to sleep and not be afraid. Prayers for our little man would be so very appreciated. We aren't really sure what else to do...
All in all this week was a good and slow week and so will next week be. Thank God for that.
Thanks for all the prayers over Ayla for her surgery and all else!

God Bless.
