My sister has had her share of ups and downs the past few months. After going into preterm labor at 28 weeks, the babies have been in the ICU now for 2 months and one day. On tuesday, my sister was supposed to do a Room in with one of her babies. After she stays the night at the hospital with the baby, they can take them home. Well, tuesday she went to the hospital to get started and the ICU nurse that my sister has never seen and has never worked with the babies told her that they were not ready to go home. Obviously my sister was very upset becasue she was so excited to go home with her babies after such a long wait. I was talking to my sister and told her that there is obviously a reason why the babies couldn't come home, we just don't know what it is, but the lord does and he is protecting her. Well today we got our answer.
Yesterday, my sister was complaining of a stomach ache and nausia. This morning she woke up with yellow eyes and later at the hospital they found her stomach was jaundiced as well. They rushed her into the ER where they did some tests and found out that her gall bladder needs to be removed.
Had my sister taken the babies home, she would have had to spend the night at the hospital and would not be able to care for the babies.
The Lord really does have plans for us and he is aware of what is going on in our lives. It is amazing yet still difficult to trust in him and his timing sometimes.
My sister has grown so much as a person these past months and you can see her strenth and outlook on life have changed. We have come to learn more and more that with christ all things are possible; prayers are answered and the priestood is a powerful thing. How blessed we are to know these things and to be able to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, who has made all things possbile.

Funny that how during times like these, we see Heavenly Father's hand so clearly in our lives. Stay strong yourself and give Mal my love. You are both so amazing.
