Last Daisha Reflection!

This is my favorite picture of Daisha during her ordeal. It is after she was in Peoria and it shows her resting comfortably in spite of all of the "things."

I think it was one year ago today that we left the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Peoria. The previous 9 days represented a time of extreme chaos in our lives. But, and that is a big BUT, as hindsight always does, we can look back on those days with a bit more clarity. In hindsight, we realize that it was only chaos to us. From our perspective it seemed out of control, from our perspective there were times that it felt hopeless, and from our perspective we were trying to trust. I would love to try to speculate as to what it looked like from God's perspective, but I cant. I have my thoughts, but I know His are so much higher. I have my hopes, but I know His are divine. Here is the quick recap of the story.
1. Fear - Keri has extreme pain indicating serious complications
2. Fear - We go to the hospital and complications are validated by Ultrasound
3. Fear - Delivering Daisha
4. Joy - Healthy baby girl
5. Joy - Our family all together
6. Fear - Daisha's breathing changes for the worse
7. Fear - She is transferred to the public hospital

10. Fear - We are not comfortable with the level of care for Daisha at the hospital
11. Joy - Peoria Hospital agrees to take her

13. Joy - Keri arrives safely and is ecstatic over Daisha's progress
14. Joy - Kirk, Drew, and Truitt fly back to the states
15. Fear - But get stuck in Charlotte due to bad weather

16. Joy - Reunited
17. Joy - Daisha makes awesome progress
18. Joy - Daisha goes home from the hospital
