Heidi's 11th Birthday

Today I the younger kids and Hannah to teach my class I teach every Wednesday morning.  All went well with taking Hannah along.  I once again went into the private bathroom to feed Hannah and to pump breast milk!  It is getting easier for me to take Hannah places and I am getting a routine down when I do! 

After lunch Hannah had another check up at her Doctor.  Dr. Levine checked Hannah over.  We discussed Hannah's stop breathing episode (as the doctors and nurses called it).  Dr. Levine thought it might be related to a seizure so he wants her to get a EEG done soon.  We will go to Children's hospital for that test.  He also her heart murmur sounds quieter.  I felt like that was good news.  Dr. Levine is pleased at how well Hannah is doing.  He also wanted Rick and I to come up with a plan if Hannah ever stopped breathing again.  How far do we go in trying to save her.  Rick and I never could answer that question.  We wanted to save our daughter anyway we could!  We love our daughter,  God's special gift to us!  What a blessing Hannah is to our family!

Celebrating Heidi's birthday began early in the morning.  We decorate and say Happy Birthday first thing in the morning.  Heidi doesn't have to do any of her chores.  She does have to do her school work though.  We always wait until dad gets home from work to open presents.  It can be a long wait waiting for daddy to get home!  Once dad got home, opening presents began.  Heidi received a gift from each of her siblings and from mom and dad.  This year Heidi got a sewing machine for her birthday and for Christmas.  She loves her machine!  We took picture of Heidi with each sibling and with mom and dad and then all the children picture! 

Heidi wanted to got the IHOP for her birthday dinner.  It was a great choice as she loves pancakes!   While we were sitting around the large table, the kids were playing paper games together.  They were interacting so lovingly.  We ordered or meal and the meal was brought to us.  While we were eating our waitress came up to us and said your bill has been paid anonymously.  The payer was so impressed at our family he wanted to bless us!  What a blessing for me and Rick and the children to hear!  We all took turns holding Hannah too! 

After our dinner,  we went home to enjoy Heidi's birthday cake cupcakes!  Yummy time! 

Heidi, We love you so much!  What a blessing you are to us!  God truly blessed us with you! 

Thank you to Aunt Jill and Natalie and Grandma for your visit!  Heidi really felt special because of your visit!  We love you! 

Ephesians 6: 10-12
 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Love, Sandi Kwant (Hannah's mommy)
