It’s so very good to be home.
We are so very thankful to God for healing Evangeline’s tiny body and for all of you who prayed us home.
Blessings!
Miracle On 34th Street!
(Just as an aside, CHOP is located on 34th and Civic Center Blvd.)
We are going home!
Praise God!
Are you ready for this?
On Tuesday, the doctor told me Evangeline was septic. In his words, she met, “all criteria for sepsis.” We were told that this could be a long haul.
And then, when they […] Read more…
Amazed
Today has been an amazing day for Evangeline.
She is so very much better.
She is back to her spunky, ornery, spirited self.
I am just amazed at her progress.
When the Dr. came in yesterday afternoon and explained to me about the E-coli and how toxic the die off could be as it […] Read more…
On Angel’s Wings
This is the post I have been dying to write.
Our sweet girl is getting better!
Her fever spiked again last night, but came down quickly and never rose again through the early morning hours!
And all the concerns about the toxic E-coli die off?
We never really saw it.
There are many whispers around […] Read more…
Quiet
His blessings are new every morning,
There is a quiet hush here in Evangeline’s room this morning. There are no doctors and nurses hovering around her bed.
She is sleeping peacefully.
Around two o’clock, Evangeline’s fever finally came down, and we both slept.
God heard our prayers and gave us exactly what we […] Read more…
A Back Ache

How the years have past!
Steven and Colin were born exactly two years apart on the ninth and the eleventh.

Bringing Connor and Cooper Home
As I look back into the early days of trying to adopt Evangeline, there are a few people who stand out in my mind as really having encouraged me to step out in faith and to trust God to bring Evangeline home even though the circumstances really made it look impossible.
If you were following […] Read more…
Our Long Day
We took Evangeline to CHOP today for several tests. The world renown Dr. Campbell is her spinal surgeon, and the tests were ordered to ferret out whether or not Evangeline should have surgery on her spine to treat Thoracic Insufficiency.
Dr. Campbell developed a technique where a veptr is used to help the upper portion […] Read more…
So Blessed
We have pretty much been home bound around here since December tenth. We’ve had a couple different viruses blow through all of us, and now that Evangeline had her surgery, we are deep in the throws of cabin fever.
Mom mom and Pop pop decided to give us a break and took all who […] Read more…
