The child was amazing, is crawling and starting to stand, and talking. Mentally, the parents are told she is normal. Physically, she expected to walk. She stands using AFO braces. Her initial surgery was less than 24 hours after birth. One week later, her shunt was placed. The pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Hahn at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL, told the parents, at 21 weeks, to 'enjoy the rest of your pregnancy' and that the best time to perform the surgery is after the baby is born. She was delivered at 39 6/7 via C-section. It was amazing to see her and I'm excited to share this with your family. God has given you HIS answer and He is in control. Praying that the remainder of your pregnancy will go well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124769783002262928.post-63316715106934824372007-10-08T20:29:00.000-04:002007-10-08T20:29:00.000-04:00Matt and Susan-Well, our prayer was for clear dire...Matt and Susan-<BR/>Well, our prayer was for clear direction and it sounds like that prayer was answered.

We've been praying constantly since you shared your story last night. We are saddened, on one hand, by the fact that you are going home. But we rejoice with you over God's clear answer to prayer and in the fact that you will soon be with your precious Feona again. Boy is she gorgeous!! As you said, 'As for God, HIS way IS perfect'. We will continue in our prayers for all of you. If you are ever in the area again, please let us know!! We'll continue to keep track of you through your blog!

He answered your prayers so clearly and now our prayer is that Whitney continues to develop in the hands of our Lord.
