Audiology update

We took Selah for her follow-up appointment with the audiologist today, after she failed the hearing test in the hospital.  We were there from 8AM-10:30AM, and she slept through the testing just fine.  The audiologist did several tests on both ears, and PRAISE THE LORD, she passed her hearing test in both ears!!!  The best part, though, was when we came home, Sage greated us at the door.  She, of course, was so excited to see her baby sister as always, and went over to her carseat.  Sage was talking to Selah and giving her hugs and kisses, and in response, Selah smiled at Sage!  This was the first smile I have seen from Selah, and it brought tears to my eyes.  Selah then smiled about 3 more times after that.  It's amazing the milestones that most parents may take for granted, are such great miracles from the Lord and such a constant reminder that God is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think and that He is the Great Physician.  It seems like when I am becoming worried or fearful of the future with Selah or wondering why God allowed Selah to be born with spina bifida, He shows me another miracle in Selah's life, as to say to me, "Amy, for I know the plans I have for Selah.  Plans to prosper her and not to harm her.  Plans to give her a hope and a future."
(Jeremiah 29:11)
