Healing Isaiah

This morning I woke up to a blaring alarm clock and raging headache. I really should have forced myself to go to bed early last night. What was I thinking!? Does lack of sleep trigger migraines in anyone else? As I dragged myself to the bathroom that familiar monthly friend was waiting for me. Ugh. Oh well, at least I know why I was so melodramatic on yesterday's post. Oh woeth me. (Rolling eyes) Ah, those lovely hormones, eh ladies?

Its amazing how your perspective changes after a good... er... bad.. nights sleep. I had put Isaiah in PJ's he could wear to the doctor's office last night so Alexander and I got dressed and placed a still sleeping Isaiah in the car, picked up my mom on the way, and off we went to Dr. Karnik's office. It took the entire hour to get to his office. Isaiah was awake by then and really excited about going into the "Iron Man" machine for his "power". Upon arrival, however, we learned that we had been scheduled for our MRI with the lady that does developmental evaluations. It was a little bit of a mix up so today Isaiah had his developmental eval rather than an MRI. They asked him questions using various flash cards. Things like the colors, days of the week, and numbers. There were more difficult questions, too.

After the doctor's appointment, my mother treated us to lunch at Souper Salad. We then headed to Ross where she purchased a few items that I can wear to "work" and she also purchased a superman costume for Isaiah and a Lord of the Rings movie for Alex. She has actually been doing this frequently for us. Its a new side of my mom that has been a pleasant treat for us. I'd like to add that to my thankful list today.

As I sat watching Isaiah do his developmental exam today, I was reminded of another time when I was pregnant with Alex. The doctor thought my son had Down's Syndrome because a blood test they did came back with high numbers. I went through some of the same feelings of fear back then. All the "what ifs", but in the end God had other plans for Alexander. I am sure God would have carried us through whatever challenges we faced had Alex been born with Down's Syndrome. He will be with us regardless of the outcome of all these brain tests concerning Isaiah and he will be with us concerning Isaiah's little heart. HOWEVER, I saw God work a miracle in Alex's life as he doesn't have Down's Syndrome and know he can do the same in Isaiah. This is my prayer today. Please continue to heal Isaiah's brain from the damage done to him by the substances his biological mother used when she was pregnant, Lord. I know you are able to heal my little son. In Jesus' name.
