Time to Pray!

Please say a prayer for our appointment at the Brachial Plexus Clinic tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.  Cole is a week away from turning 6 months, so this might be a big surgery-determining appointment for him.  Then again, they might give him until one more appointment to pass the Cookie Test.  That's what I'm hoping for, because as of today, he is not able to bring something (such as a big yummy chocolate chip cookie) to his mouth from the sitting position.  But, he is making progress all the time!  So, maybe if they give him a couple more weeks?  Either way, we are so thankful for each and every prayer lifted up to God for Cole.  Cole bends his arm regularly now, plays with toys, puts his hand in his mouth when reclined.  He can touch his eyes and reach straight out for toys (when reclined).  I just pray for Dr. Ratner (and us) to have wisdom to make the best decision for Cole's little (chubby) body.  Only God knows exactly what kind of damage is there and what Cole needs, and if he needs surgery then I want him to get it!  Thanks everyone!

For those of you dying to see new pictures of my kids, here are a few:
And if you made it to the end, a fun video of my kids playing together!
