End of Summer & Back to Boston

It's September, the end of summer, and we are heading back to Boston tomorrow for Clare's second catheterization.

We had a wonderful end of summer with our stay in Ogunquit, ME. We had a hotel room right on the beach - great because we didn't have to wear shoes, could go to the beach multiple times a day without hassle, and had a gorgeous view of the Atlantic Ocean (which we even got to see at sunrise thanks to Miss Clare getting up before dawn). It was a peaceful, enjoyable getaway before coming home to reality!

So we are off to Boston tomorrow. Clare has done great these past three weeks since we got the scary news that her cath needed to be pushed up. Once again, you would never know she is sick, and I am so thankful for that small (yet huge in many ways) blessing. She has discovered her feet, is able to pick her head up now when lifted to a sitting position, and smiles more and more every day. We are loving these little accomplishments. She is doing so much better developmentally than we thought she would.

We will try to update the blog during Clare's cath, like we did last time. Prayers are greatly appreciated!

A family friend is having a Mass said for Clare tomorrow during her catheterization and passed along to us the name of the priest who will be saying this Mass.

We were shocked to learn that the same priest is my birthdaughter's uncle, whom we met nearly eight years ago for Elizabeth's Entrustment Ceremony.

I am awestruck by the beauty of God’s plan in having someone so involved in my daughter’s life to also be saying a very special Mass for her birth-cousin Clare.

The Lord works in mysterious and wonderful ways!
