Hello family and friends, Well since Sara's last surgery in February, God continues to show his powerful hand and Sara continues to heal and grow beautifully.

She does continue to get sick with bronchiolitis however thank God our last episode was the first week of April when we were in the hospital for 6 days, yes, we were there during Easter however she was discharged the next day and has been better ever since. So far this is our longest bout without being in the ER or admitted into the hospital since April. She is recently recovering from an ear infection that mom caught in the very early stages. Sara has been receiving twice daily rectal therapy from mom, which is preparing her for her next surgery and believing and praying this is the FINAL surgery for a reallllly lonnnnng time! We are seeing the surgeon the beginning of June and should be receiving our surgery date then. Otherwise, we have been taking Sara out more little by little and enjoying our family time together.

Sara is still not comfortable being on her stomach for lengthy periods due to her open heart surgery but that's ok, she is beginning to master other activities like trying to self-feed more with the spoon and continues to hold her own bottle during feeds. Sara loves to smile at just about everyone and really loves to interact with her big sister Madison. Sara is becoming more independent playing with her toys and even tries to stand up more on mom when mom is holding her, and always giggling with daddy. She is a blessing to us all. We pray you all are healthy and doing great in your own lives. We love you all! As we've said all along, our sweet baby girl Sara is going to be an amazing testimony for all of us to share!! -God Bless
