Verity Update

Thanks, everyone, for your prayers! So. It turns out that Verity's leg wasn't broken after all. So after a week in a cast (it was removed Thursday), she is now hobbling around, getting better at walking again every day. We praise God for his healing hand on our little girl, and for giving us the grace we needed not only with the children, but dealing with all the doctors and everything in trying to figure out what was best to do.

And.

Because of Verity's leg, we got a surprise package on Friday morning. My sister, Hilary. Yes, I really do mean that someone from 'home' surprised me and arrived at my front door. I'm still getting over the shock. :D She was planning (with Hannah) to come later in the year, but when she heard about Verity (her goddaughter) she decided that this was a better time for the trip. So I'll get a total of 15 weeks of sisterness at my house this year! Hilary is here for six weeks, Hannah will come for nine weeks.

Wow!! How did she work out arriving at your house without you knowing? Was Bryan in on it?

Nope, Bryan didn't know either! It was fantastic!! Bryan's parents picked her up from the airport. They were a bit concerned because we were going to take an overnight trip Friday, and they didn't want us to leave before they brought Hilary by. :)

Oh, so did you still go and just take her or what happened with that?

Yep! It was a road trip, so she just brought along her overnight bag and got to see some of the countryside! The hotel was really accomidating too, and let her stay in the room with us even though on their website the limit was "two adults two kids" and we had three each.

That is the most marvelous surprise ever. I'm so glad Hilary's there!

And Verity's leg. . . So, either it wasn't broken in the first place, or it was broken and God healed it. *shrug* Either way, I'm glad Verity doesn't have to clump around in a cast!

That's so awesome! I was thinking a couple weeks ago about how much I would love for my family to surprise me with a visit, or my husband to surprise me saying we were going to go visit them. :)
