Mandy's Lesson 4 - Take the High Road



Sleeping Baby Moriah (1month) and my daughter Summer (6)

        Exactly a week ago, Mandy was still her normal self (It is weird to think about that). She had about 100 things that needed to be taken care of before her surgery the next day, but her top priority was working out all the details necessary - talking to the Lactation consultants, doctors, pumping, researching drugs, etc. etc., - to make sure that baby Moriah would get all the breast milk that she needed.  I supplemented formula with all three of my girls, and they all turned out beautifully.  However, Mandy firmly believes that nursing is best for her baby, so she was not going to take the easy road. Unlike me, Mandy is willing to be inconvenienced for the best of others. Mandy is faithful to complete what she has started, to follow through with what she has promised.  There are times that it is acceptable and expected and even best for everyone to change your original plans, but I am inspired by Mandy to stay on the high road more often (even when it gets a bit bumpy) instead of turning around and taking the easy road like I normally do.
       Thank you for your prayers. Mandy is doing much better and on the long road to recovery.
