Thankful

Since I've been keeping you all updated on baby Scarlett thus far, I should probably tell you the good news...........Scarlett made it through surgery!!!! She is doing as well as could be expected. They were able to remove 70-80% of the tumor, and another surgery is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday to remove the rest. Please continue to pray for this little fighting angel. She is making it very clear that she wants to live!

Of course, you can read Scarlett's amazing story on her parents' blog here.

I was so touched after reading their blog this morning. Brandi, Scarlett's mother, wrote that they had over 100,000 views on their blog just yesterday as the world awaited an update on Scarlett's surgery. Over one hundred THOUSAND!! I, myself, probably made up about twenty of those, but just look at the vast amount of people pulling for this little angel. That amazes me. That little girl was put on this earth with a purpose.

I totally forgot to post this big news the other day. Brantley now weighs twenty pounds. Yes, my THREE MONTH OLD weighs TWENTY pounds. He is wearing 9-12 month clothes.

Also, on New Years Day, he rolled over front to back. He didn't even try! I remember so clearly when Brody first started trying to roll over, he would get about half way, then fall back. Over....and over....and over. Not Brantley. One little push and he was rolling! Robert and I looked at each other so surprised. Then, two days later, he nearly rolled over back to front, which is much harder. I need to get out Brody's baby book to compare the timelines.

By the way, they are predicting a large amount of snow (large for this area, anyways) Sunday night into Monday. I sure hope we get every flake we can!
