Sarah is Smart (this isn't meant in a bragging way)

A few nights ago, as I was praying over Sarah, I realized one of my deep fears through all of the whole CPT II possibility and treatment. My fear was that she wouldn't develop properly because she wasn't getting the fats she needed. Basically, I was afraid that she wouldn't be as smart as she could be or that her brain wouldn't develop correctly. (That's why I was trying to find ways to be allowed to feed her avocado. That was me trying to control things.)

During our night night routine prayer, I was thanking God for how smart Sarah is and for the joy she brings to our lives and I was overcome with emotion as I realized that God had answered my prayers. My prayer was that God would keep her safe while we treated her and that she would develop normally.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
