Answered Prayer

This is Ella enjoying her Valentine's Day.  I can't thank all of you enough for the prayers that you have sent up.  Last night I received several emails from my friends and family saying that they were praying for Ella.  She did not wake up even one time with coughs!  This morning and today she has been a healthy, happy little girl!   Praise Jesus for His mighty power and continued faithfulness in Ella's life.

If You Weren't Born...

My Dearest Ella, If you weren't born, my child, if you weren't born... If you weren't born, I wouldn't have laid alone,  in a hospital bed, like an empty drone.  My chest ripping open with lonely cries, for my husband and daughter, sobbing tragic lullabies. If you weren't born, I wouldn't have risked my life, ridiculed by the doctors, feeling endless strife. Day by day they looked on me, with disgust-filled eyes, and some pit-y. If you weren't born, I wouldn't have been in pain, back aching from my frozen position, always the same. I thought if I moved, it might tear the sack, and leak out more fluid, which you already lacked. Yes, if you weren't born, I wouldn't have had stabbing grief, attacking my gut, with no sign of relief. You see, I was told you were as good as dead, when my water broke, and my heart bled. If you weren't born, I wouldn't have had to post, ...

Breathing Easier

Update on Ella: Ella has continued to wheeze mildly for the past day and a half since being on her inhaler and steroids, but her cough has loosened up significantly. She did, however wake up this morning with a runny eye and endless nose-bleed, but those have both since stopped "running". We saw Ella's pediatrician again today and she said that she still hears some wheezing, but that Ella seems to be improving. We'll keep her on her oral steroid for a few more days to make sure she is processing sufficient oxygen and then once that's out, we'll go to a daily inhaler. The doctor also wants to move forward on trying to schedule a swallow study to make sure that Ella is not taking fluid into her lungs when she's drinking. There is a slight chance that we may have to have the study done in Salt Lake because her Ear Nose and Throat doc is there, but we'll see. All in all, Ella is doing much better and we are so thankful that she's br...

Lifeline Pregnancy Banquet

Last night I had the incredible opportunity of being involved in the Lifeline Pregnancy Banquet, here in Nampa, Idaho.  I had not anticipated the blessing that would come from listening to the testimonies and from the way I felt the Spirit move in my own heart as I had the chance to share part of my story with Ella!  But I think the best part was mingling afterward with new friends that I had instant bonds with just because of our common relationship with Jesus Christ. I am constantly amazed at the way God works.  I first, bumped into a woman that told me that she had to leave the banquet room because she was caring for her baby, but felt as if the Lord wanted her to hear what I had to say, so after the banquet was over, she approached me just to tell me that she had stood outside the banquet hall with her ear to the door just to take in every word!  She came away with this message: I SERVE A MIGHTY GOD!  You know, it's just interesting to see how God brings H...
