Happy Birthday?

4 years ago March 4, tomorrow,  we were told, "this is Brooke's new Birthday?"  We were like,  "just fix her."  I'm not sure what to call it.  This is the day, 4 years ago, the doctors took a bag/vial of life out of one daughter and placed it into another daughter.  It was a day we sat and watched and said, "is this really going to work?"  The doctors said, "we just have to wait and see." 
That process has given us 4 amazing years.  We sat around the table and talked about that day.  Megan and Leah remember it well.  Steve and I remember like it was yesterday.  Brooke piped in and said, "I am NEVER doing that again!"  We asked if she remembered it, she said, "NO, but I don't want to do that again."  We pray she is right. 
This is a day that makes me want to eat cake and celebrate.  To have had these past 4 years has been the ultimate gift.  Steve and I can both say it has changed our lives.  Changed our outlook on life, changed our parenting, changed how we deal with crisis, changed what we classify as a crisis. 
I would lie if I didn't say doubt creeps in from time to time.  We were never promised a cure or a 100% fix.  So we may over analyze things and be protective.  But we pray daily that the Lord guides us through this day and leads us to the next step.  He has not let us down, and has proven that living for this day is what's best.  We don't look to the future because we are certain He will carry us through today and tomorrow.  What a blessing!! 

Thank you Jesus for the amazing 5 gifts you have given us, along with the gift of each other.  HAPPY TRANSPLANT DAY KOEMAN GIRLS!!!
