I was so BLUE...until I got PINK!!!
I'm in tears and laughter!!! Vannessa is coming home!!!
  Our appointment is Thursday, May 22. God is SO GOOD! He knows just when I can't take any more, then He shows up BIG TIME! I was seriously having a pity party today, watching everyone fly by us, wondering what awful thing they found wrong with our case. It feels so good to breathe again.  Thank you for all your prayers.
