Coming boldly...
Waiting on a UTI test that was suppose to be done in triage but wasn't. Results take 24 - 48 hours. I just sang her to sleep and now they have to wake her. They are keeping her to observe her breathing. So far God has blessed her to breathe wonderfully! Praying boldly before His throne of grace that He continue to allow her to breathe freely and effortless and also that every test that's done comes back with excellent results. Please Lord surround her with your spirit. Cover this room Lord with your presence and comfort for Jay and touch every staff member and grace them with the needed wisdom to care for my sweet precious baby girl. Lord you are in control. Thank you for the neighbors, family and friends that have offered their love and support to us today. We pray that you cover all others that are currently here in ACH and that you comfort and provide the healing that only you can. Thank you Lord for blessing us on this day. Still trusting you, in Jesus name. God is good.
I am so amazed...
I am so amazed. Today when Jaylan stopped breathing, her heart kept beating. Her heart, that we were told was not normal and no good. It kept beating. We praise you Lord. You created that heart, you're working that heart. It's beating. Thank you Lord that Jaylan is wonderfully and fearfully made in your image by YOU. I am so amazed. You are God! We give you glory Lord. God is good!
Time stands still...Lord I believe
Hurdle #27
Jay stopped breathing this morning while eating. I tried everything I normally do to get her breathing and nothing would work. I blew in her face, I patted her butt, I squeezed her cheeks, I put her on oxygen. She went limp. Her body melted to a relaxed state right in my arms. That's when I noticed the stillness of our living room and that time had stopped. It literally stood still. As time stopped I screamed for Raghan to get my phone I went out back where Michael was mowing and screamed "I can't get her to breathe!" I called 911. Still no breath. I wasn't ready. As I gave all of my info to the operator Mike did everything he could to get her to breathe. Still no breath. How long can a person live without taking a breath?? I couldn't tell you how long it was because time was still frozen. The operator had me start cpr. I'd never learned it on my own. As I was blowing in her mouth and nose, life happened. She took a breath and both of her arms raised. By the third go around the firemen walked in. As they huddled around her. He looked at me and said "it's ok, her hearts beating 90 to nothing and he smiled at me". They worked on her little sweet body right there in my living room floor. I put my hands on my face and I prayed for peace in the midst of. It's all God's plans. I said Lord, I believe. Next the ambulance came and they decided to load her up and take her to the hospital to get her checked out. Thank you Lord. He's catching my tears and holding her at the same time. So here I am, in the ambulance on my way to ACH. Can one ever be prepared for such a moment in their life?? Maybe not. But God is always prepared. Now all I can think about is, God loves me...God loves me...God loves me...God loves us...God loves her. God is good!
