High hopes...

Another blessed day for Baby Jay.  She's still doing well although she's a bit congested.  Everyone has gone to bed without us tonight so we've been chit chatting it up except I've done most of the talking.  It's been a pretty full day and I am exhausted beyond exhausted.  I think all of this lack of sleep along with getting used to having three kids is finally catching up with me.  Today was day 25 and I'm thankful for this milestone.  Sometimes I think the only thing that gets me through is knowing that Baby Jay is covered by the blood of the lamb.  I'm praying for a great weekend and an even better Happy Four Weeks.  I can't help but get my hopes up, afterall that is what faith is.  God is good.

I am that I am...

Another great day for Baby Jay.  She was definitely awake more today.  We are loving on her so much.  We are in the process of finding her a doctor in Little Rock, hopefully a doctor who has experience with Trisomy babies.  Tomorrow I will talk with the neonatologist from ACH because I have several unanswered questions.  We would love to have a chest xray done to see if her breathing is related to her lungs more than her heart.  Sometimes she works so hard to breathe you can see her whole little body going up and down.  I find myself taking a deep breath along with her sometimes yet we are thankful that she's taking those breaths.  We will continue to speak life on Baby Jay.  Afterall Jesus said "All things are possible for He that believes."  We definitely believe that He is totally able, willing and capable to heal Baby Jay if that is what He chooses.    God said "I am that I am".  I'm thankful that I serve the Almighty God, the "I am that I am" God.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  We refuse to put God in a box, He's too Almighty for it.  We refuse to minimize God, He's too Almighty for that also. Oh the power that He holds blows me away.  God is good.
