How things have changed...

Wow Griffin is almost 10 months old!!! I can't believe that in two more short month Griffin will be a year old. There are times this whole process has seemed like 10 years, but then when I really think about it I have no idea how almost a whole year has passed. I am so thankful for the provision the Lord has blessed us with this last year. God has brought us through so many hard times, but has given us so many amazing times a long the way. I wanted to post some pictures of how far God has brought Griffin. There were times when we didn't know if Griffin was going to make it he was so tiny and fragile, but now if you look at him he looks so healthy and strong. We always say he is a "beast" because he is so big and eats so much. Still hard to watch him turn colors and see him get blue around his lips, but I guess that is what the doctors say is to be expected. I think for a mom no matter how much the doctors say it is normal it still doesn't seem right. I am learning each day to put Griffin back into God's hands and know that no matter how much I worry it won't change anything. He truly is God's not mine, yikes that one doesn't always come easy. Sometimes when I am caught up in the worrying I start to think to the future and think about his next surgery. He seems so "normal" right now, it is hard to think that we never know which cardiologist visit they are going to say his numbers are dropping and surgery is coming. Uhhh.... the thought of surgery is hard, but I know there is no point in dwelling on it now. As much as I don't want surgery to come it will be nice to think that hopefully this may be his last cold and flu season that is kind of scary. So here are a few pictures of how far Griffin has come. Thank you Jesus for truly taking care of my sweet baby Griffin...

Sorry for the font change midway through, can't figure out how to change it!!!
