Eliza has been with us for six weeks now.
She seems more comfortable.
She smiles a lot.
She points about things that need to happen on schedule.
She hoards pretty much everything in her bed.
She likes routines, and gets very upset when things don’t happen on time.
And, after six weeks, I have to […] Read more…
Living The Miracle
There is no question in my mind that we are living a full fledged, only God, bigger than life miracle.
Our youngest daughter, Olivia, was only three months old when God began to really break our hearts for the fatherless. Olivia turned three in August, and the very next month, we brought home BOTH of […] Read more…

Flowers In The Valley

I was […] Read more…
Not By Might
Today has been a much better day.
Evangeline has really been good today. She’s perky. Her fevers are gone. She’s eating, and smiling a lot more. Her foot is healing really well, so well that the surgeons cancelled her surgery today.

I did fall today on the wet floor in Evangeline’s room […] Read more…
Honesty
It’s been another long day.
Evangeline’s foot is still infected, and she will be having surgery again tomorrow to further debride the bone and wash out the infection. She has been sicker today from the antibiotics.
Evangeline has not been told that they had to take off half of her foot. I am very concerned […] Read more…
Admitted
I’m at Children’s Hospital with Evangeline.
The Orthopedic doctor decided to admit her immediately and do surgery tomorrow to try to get rid of all the infected bone. He said it is like cancer. It eats away at the bone and he has to be certain he gets all of the infection because it spreads. […] Read more…
