Gwen, if I lived within a day's drive I'd bring you a meal! Since Texas is a LONG way away, I'll be praying for your sweet girl, instead. Caiden and I pray for her every night--even my husband, who is not a blogger, knows who Ivey is!
I hope you get some sleep tonight!!
I'm here by way of Sarah's blog and just learned tonight about your sweet baby Ivey. I have a short list of babies I pray for when I pray for my sweet niece Ashley, who is enduring many of the same procedures as Ivey. I will be adding Ivey to that list. I continue to be awed at the indescribable miracle God bestows us when He gives us children to raise for Him. Each one so perfectly precious. I'll be following your story.
Matt and Gwen,
At anytime you need a meal please do not hesitate to call me. I would be happy to drop something by.
You all are in our thougths and prayers.
I hope that you know how much we are all thinking and praying for you right now. The hospital is no fun ever, but it is especially hard when you are away from home. I know that you are homesick and ready to bring that sweet little girl home to be with her parents and wonderful brothers. It will get here, and in the meantime, please know how loved y'all are. I am trying to figure out how to get down there to see you. Stephen may be in Atlanta on Wednesday, and he will bring you anything that you need. I am going to find a way to hug your neck soon, but until that time, I am sending lots of hugs, many more prayers and all of my love. Call me anytime! We love y'all! S, K, & B
Dearest Gwen,
Thank you for your precious words left on Ashley's journal. I know you must be so very tired and I just wanted to let you know I am praying for you and your sweet baby girl. How I wish I could send a smile, a hug, a meal, anything to ease the burdens you must be carrying. God must have the most incredible plans for our families as He continues to grow us through the lives of our daughters. I too am so thankful to Sarah for opening my heart up to you and your family. May God bless and take care of you and your family today. Love, Trish (Ashley's mommy)
I came to meet you from Sarah's blog earlier this morning. I got a chance to read a little of your story. Your daughter will be in our families prayers. Thanks so much for sharing your heart. I can't wait to read more. . .
After reading your blog, I checked my last post for comments. I was so excited to see a comment from you!! You commented (I think) on the verse - my portion, my cup. I have the awful habit of comparing my lot to the lot of those around me, so this verse has become like a life verse for me. He has given us each our own unique portion and cup - our own journey, our own assignment. No two are alike. And, we must take what we are given and run with it!! And, what a precious comfort to know that our lot is secure in Him.
God bless you and your sweet family!
Sounds like you have quite a bit of support. IRL and ICL. Way cool. I'm glad you have blogging now. I've found it very therapeutic.
I would have NEVER imagined how hard it could be as a mom, especially when things don't turn out as you'd expect them. Hang on to that support and someday you may be able to help someone else, too.
I am definitely praying for Ivey, and her wonderful family. ;)
Hola, no he podido escribirles estos días. Les pido disculpas por eso. Siempre tenemos presente a Ivey. El 26 de octubre, hicimos un especial pedido por su cirugia en nuestras oraciones. Tenemos muchos amigos y familiares en nuestra Iglesia que rezan por Ivey.
Pablito ha tenido el martes 24 una segunda cirugia en el estómago. Se le colocó un "Botón para Gastrotomía". La fecha inicial de la cirugía era el lunes 23, pero Pablito no respondió bién a la anestesia y no se pudo efectuar la operación. De todas maneras la operación se complicó más de lo esperado y recién el viernes pudimos verlo sonreir un poco. Todavía esta un poco delicado, pero ya lo tenemos en casa. Despues les cuento como se trató el problema de reflujo de Pablito, quizas sea una alternativa para ustedes. Respecto de lo que me escribieron, los médicos tuvieron problemas para colocarle el respirador artificial. Lo pudieron hacer despues de tres intentos y luego de ponerle un sedante fuerte. Sabemos que sus vias respiratorias son angostas, pero no nos dijeron nada acerca de alguna otra anormalidad. Les escribiré pronto. Dios los Bendiga. Adios.
Gwen- Praying for you all tonight. I hope you were able to enjoy some sweet time with the boys today. I will be heading your way tomorrow late afternoon and would love to bring dinner by the hospital. I'll be offline and leaving town after 12:30, so call my cell if you think of anything I can bring.
