everything is just fine

I'll be honest... I was slightly nervous to hit send today and share the news with everyone not because I am nervous about Zoe's treatment, but because I don't want ya'll to be scared and think that Zoe is all of a sudden seriously ill or that we are total stress bombs... because life here feels pretty normal.

WE REALLY ARE JUST FINE!  Saturday was hard, but now we are ready... we've done this before and we can do it again (especially knowing treatment should be easier on Zoe's body this time around!)  

I really don't feel stressed or scared right now... I have been trying to figure out if this is just a coping mechanism and if I'm repressing anything, but I think I legitimately just feel ok about things, and it kind of doesn't seem like a big deal.  Obviously when your kid has a thing growing in their brain that has made them blind in one eye it is slightly a big deal, but Zoe will be ok.  Zoe's health issues really don't impact her daily functioning and I often forget there is anything "different"

about her.  

We have an amazing support network (all of you!), we have a very strong understanding of God and why Zoe has to endure trials, we have insurance, we have one of the toughest little girls ever, and in our home we have a lot of love!  

We appreciate all your prayers -- maybe that is why everything feels like it will be just fine...
