Little Light of Mine

This picture was right after surgery yesterday

Nora is doing well today. She is still in pain and just wants to sit in our arms, but she is a little more awake. The right side of her face is pretty swollen, even more than yesterday. The doctors don't think it's a problem right now, we'll just watch it. She is such a sweetheart! This morning when one of the doctors came in, she got the sweetest look on her face and gave him a shy little wave-it was adorable. She is such a trooper! 
We don't know how long she will be in the hospital. Tomorrow (Saturday) would be the earliest she would be able to leave. I'm hoping no later than Sunday morning because Evan leaves Sunday afternoon. After Nora is out, we will be here for another week for check ups, and to talk about the next steps. My sister (Kristen) will be coming on Monday to help and hang out-so excited to see her!
Thank you so much for all the prayer and encouraging notes. Whenever I feel like I'm on the brink of losing it, someone texts, emails or leaves a voice mail with just what I needed-God is so good!  I got maybe two hours of sleep last night, but was able to sleep today once Evan got to the hospital.  I'm so glad he is here so we can trade off! 
Please continue to pray for healing for Nora and for those nerves. Because her face is still so swollen it's hard to tell the full extent of things.  The right side of her mouth isn't moving like it usually does, but we are praying once the swelling goes down it will be better.  She is asleep right now so I'm going to join her! Thank you for praying!

We got a couple smiles today!
