Ice Cream and Smiles

Larisa is on her way home to be with the kids so it's just me and Levi for the next 18 hours or so. They have pulled the two central lines and everyone seems very pleased with his progress. Just a few moments ago Bebi and I shared a treat, his first "real" food in over two weeks. 85 cent low-grade orange ice cream never tasted so good. It's nice to have him back.

God is great.

Matt, What a wonderful blessing to see Levi's smile. Have to think that you had a big smile on your face when you took this picture. What a difference a day makes! With love and prayers all around, Milton and Ann

Hi Matt,

Thanks for sharing this wonderful picture. I am so glad to see this little fellow smiling again.

And, I can image that ice cream never tasted so good. He really deserved it.

Rachel, Rosie and Lawrence are standing here next to me so happy to see "little Tim-oh-tee's" smile. Lawrence said, "he's happy!"
Rachel says, "I love you."
Rosie says, "I want to pray for "little Tim-oh-tee" tonight.
We are so thankful for his progress and continue to pray for him and for all you watching over him.

God IS great! What a miracle little Levi is. And what a smile. Thank you for the opportunity to follow his progress through this blog. I think there has been a cyberspace sigh of relief. Did you hear it? I pray for many great days to come.
