11.5Kgs and counting

My beloved traveled from yesterday and with school round the corner we had no choice but for me to take baby gal yesterday for her review at the cardiologist. Well somehow Samara doesn't like the weigh scale no more and when she finally got her weight checked it showed something like 12Kgs. Our doctor was so excited to see her and how she has put on weight. He said all is well and we need to look out for now at her age is home accidents like burns, drinking what she is not meant to as at this stage they are very curious and also pulling things from above...otherwise he was happy and didnt even give us another review date  and said she can go to school. That was good news for us.

So today Friday, baby gal had a jab and my beloved we missed him much as you all know by now he is the one who holds her down for such.But amazingly when we entered the nursing room, the nurse whom we have met severally at the baby wellness clinic was so amazed at baby gal's growth. In fact we stayed for about 5-8minutes just her talking at how Samara has grown tall and healthy.  When baby gal was half halfheartedly convinced to step on the weighing scale she was at 11.5kgs and again the nurse was shocked. She knew we had heart surgery and was just jazzed at how she has sprouted from 9Kgs to 11.5/12Kgs.I shared with her our joy and how thankful we are to God for the changes we seeing in our daughter.

Well time for vitamin A came , baby gal was not coopreating but that one is oral and the jab on the hand was done and it wasnt so bad,little tears and we were done. I missed my beloved because he needed to be here just to see the progress but I updated him and we are thankful that for once going to the wellness clinic wasn't as dreadful as always. The nurses just out of their genuine concern would point out that the weight gain wasnt good and we needed her checked and we ould then tell them we have an ASD and will have it fixed. Then they would give us a breather until the next appointment. But today it was different and good.

Have a great weekend

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her
