A Christmas Miracle!

(I can't figure out why Whit is cut off in the photo...I've uploaded 3 times and it looks fine)

We got our Christmas gift a little early this year. And, it was the BEST Christmas present anyone could ever hope for!!!

Whit had an appointment on Monday with her Neurologist. We were supposed to be told what was found on her MRI that was done the day she had her eye and ear surgery. I took her by myself because Jason had to work a double shift in Abilene. I was not looking forward to it because I sort of expected to be told that the cerebellum problem was no better and was just praying that nothing "new" was found on the scan.

The doctor came in and sat down on his chair looking at me. He asked how Whit was doing and I told him she was doing great, surpassing all our expectations, etc. He took a deep breath and began telling me that the MRI that was done on December 9th showed absolutely no evidence that ANYTHING was wrong with her cerebellum!!!!! He also said that a cyst she had at birth was no longer there and that there was NOTHING structurally wrong with her brain whatsoever!!!! I was in shock.

We had been told after the first MRI that the two parts of her cerebellum were not connected/communicating and that they never would. So, you can imagine how shocked her doctor obviously was....as were we! He just kept repeating to me, "Do you understand, there is nothing wrong with her brain?" I just started crying and smiling and kissing Whitney. I couldn't even believe it. It was very obvious that he couldn't believe it either. I don't think he ever gets to tell many people that their child's brain is perfectly NORMAL!!!

I am just so shocked still. I still can't believe it. I keep wanting to call the office and just ask the nurse to tell me one more time so I can hear it again! We are so thankful and feel so blessed. This was defnitely a case of Divine Intervention! There's no doubt.

Whitney had a great Christmas, as did her brothers and parents. We celebrated with my sister and her family in Flower Mound. Whitney got lots of toys and new bows and a beautiful bracelet! As you can see from her photos, her eyes are looking great and seem to be straight at this point. She's such a doll.
