One day at a time

Easter has always been a big event for my family, and we were really looking forward to making the trip this weekend. Obviously our plans changed when we got the call about Keragan, and we were happy to be here with her today, but i was still a little homesick. It helped somewhat to hear that mom decorated eggs for us, and that the one she made for Keragan won the egg roll.
It also made me antsy to leave. This is a pretty nice hospital and the nurses have been amazing, but I'm ready to take her home. Unfortunately, it seems so far away. When we got here, they had told us probably 2-4 weeks. It's been 10 days, and now it's still 2-4 weeks before she'll get to go home. We've seen a lot of progress, but there's still quite a ways to go. She's a fighter... The nurses have told me that she's been a fighter from the day she was born. She just isn't quite ready yet.
We didn't hesitate long before saying yes to our agency about her. 50+ other families wouldn't even consider the situation. We couldn't understand why at the time, but I'm starting to get it. It really is a roller coaster, full of little ups and downs, great improvements and huge set backs. I don't regret the decision to take her, not even a little bit. She's so perfect, and I truly know that she was meant for us and our family. I just have to keep my mind set on the future and what is ahead once we get out of here, and keep praying to get through this one day at a time. God's timing is perfect, so there must be a reason that she's not ready to come home yet.
Pray for us this week as I'm at the hospital with her by myself. Also, pray for her to continue taking full bottle feedings and continue gaining weight.
