In HIS Hands: it is 2012

it is 2012

Well, 2011 is finally done. I feel bad knowing that I have wished some days away. It is really hard because I want to capture every moment I can with my children. Time goes so fast and they grow and change in a blink of an eye. But I am torn. My youngest daughter is in China, growing older and changing without me and my oldest children are here with me. How can I capture and savor every moment with my oldest children and yet wish days away so I can hold and meet my baby girl...I want to be able to do both.

I am excited for what 2012 hold for us. If all goes well, this is the year we will meet and hold our youngest daughter for the first time. I am looking forward to that time for sure. I know we will have some tough, tough days ahead but I know we will make it through.

Happy New Year!

"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... For I am the Lord your God..
~Isiah 43:1-3

Syndactyly is a term to describe webbed fingers or toes. In most cases the webbing is only skin, but in some cases, the bone may be fused together. Surgery is performed to correct the condition.

Polydactyly literally means "extra digits." There may be an extra thumb, small finger, or, less commonly, an extra digit in the central part of the hand. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies.

Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear. In most cases, only one ear is affected. In that case, it is called Unilateral Microtia. If both ears are affected, it is called Bilateral Microtia. In addition to the physical characteristics, there is a possiblitiy of some or all of these problems: About a 40% reduction of hearing in the affected ear, problems locating the direction from which a sound comes and ear infections.
