Sweet Girls

I am so glad I was able to go to Iowa last month and see my twin nieces. Lydia was doing so well. She moved from the covered bed, out to an open crib, gained weight, and started drinking bottles all while I was there. Catherine on the other hand continued to have long seizures, wasn't gaining weight and just wasn't progressing or doing very well. The doctors and nurses would try to take her off the venilator, but she would only last about an hour, and then need to be put back on it. A couple weeks ago my sister and her husband made the hardest decision of their lives, to take her off the venilator for good. They knew her quality of life would not be what they wanted for her, and they had to think about their four other kids as well. It was really hard to hear, but I know it is what is best for her. She was in a lot of pain, and looked so uncomfortable that I know she will be much happier in Heaven with her Heavnly Father. It was her mission to simply come to Earth, gain and body and return to Him. I'm so thankful for the Plan of Salvation and to know that I will see her again, and that she will be with her parents and siblings again.
Love you Catherine!
