A Nervous Peace?
Does that even make sense to any of you? This morning I am nervous. So nervous that I am sick to my stomach, a little shaky, and am feeling the beginnings of a stress headache coming on. Peace? I still feel it. I believe He is in control this morning. He is revealing Himself to me through your comments. The scriptures you have shared, the words "I'm Praying", your presence on Ashley's story they are all supporting me and bringing peace to me. She is sleeping peacefully in her crib. I have rocked her and kissed her and prayed over her all morning. She can do this. She has been through much worse.
Labs came back this morning and Ash does have a UTI(urinary tract infection). I would spend 6 days screaming too! Bless her tiny heart. 3 broken ribs and this infection would be enough to make me want to let the world know that I have had enough! I am thankful for answers so that we may begin treating her.
I believe God is bigger than this biopsy. I believe He is bigger than the ventilator. He is big enough to bring her and her mommy through today. I refuse to allow myself to think about the things that could happen. I just want to get it over with and then we will begin waiting for the results. They told us it could take up to 6 weeks! I sure hope I don't have to learn to be that patient.
I just wanted to touch base this morning before things begin to get crazy and out of control. Thank you for your prayers for our baby gherkin and for her mommy. I love you guys. Will post later to let you know how they return her to me. She is scheduled for 1:30. Take care. Trish

It's a testimony to the Lord's goodness that you have even a nervous peace! You are doing great, nobody, not even the doctors & nurses, expect you to be perfectly sweet & calm all the time. I'm sure they've seen much, much worse. :) This is a marathon, and your testimony is way more than intact, it's shining. We are standing with you in prayer. We'll be praying for Ashley at 1:30--probably later, knowing how hospitals never seem to do anything on time. :)
Dear Heavenly Father...please continue to give Trish the Peace that she is feeling and help her and Ashley get thru whatever comes their way today. Amen.
Hang in ther Trish and don't lose the faith! Praying for you both! God is there and he is the ultimate physcian! He can do all things! Thinking of you both!
Trish,
When it is over our heads it is under HIS feet. I am praying.
My prayer for you is for continued Peace. I will be praying that the biopsy goes well and that she is off of the ventilator and back to herself as soon as possible. You are an amazingly strong woman. I cannot even begin to fathom what this must be like for you and your entire family. I wish I could make it all go away for you, but I know that God would never give you something you cannot handle. You are a great example of that!
Trish,
Have you thought how amazing it is that God used a UTI that wasn't discovered until today to make them to the CT scan and find the nodules in her lungs. If they had found the UTI Monday, there would have been no scans, no notice of the growth of these in her lungs. And at the rate they are growing it was a blessing that they were found now.
Praise God in the midst of it all that He chooses to reveal this issue through other means!
Our Gracious Heavenly Father,
I pray that You would be the One to prepare Trish's heart, right now, Father, for the time the medical team will take little Ashley from her to do the biopsy. I pray especially that as Ashley goes that Trish will feel Your presence in such a mighty way that she will have the peace that comes from only You.
I pray that You have prepared the medical team so that this procedure will go smoothly, without any suprises or complications and that Ashley will be able to have peaceful rest afterward. Continue to give Trish courage and grace that brings You glory, Father. She has continued to demonstrate to all who read Ashley's Story that she is truly a child of the King. Thank You for loving us, Thank You for saving us.... in Jesus name~~Amen.
We are praying for you and Ash down here in Houston.
Praying for all of you today. Praying the biopsy goes well. God bless!
Love & Hugs,
Lori
Your peace, even if nervous, is a wonderful testimony to so many out here. Thank you for continuing to share your story--it is a blessing :)
I'm praying for you today, everyday. As long as y'all need it, I'll do it :)
Still praying Trish.
Praying for Ashley, God's will and your whole family! You are an awesome inspiration! Chandria
We continue to pray for Dave, you, Ashley, Blake and Allie! May God Bless you!
Lord,
Just be with this family right now, especially little Ashley going through yet another huge test, Lord you are the great physicain and I pray that you would direct the hands and tools throughout this biopsy. Be with Trish as she waits for them to bring her precious baby back to her waiting arms.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
It's good to get at least some sort of answer...
Praying today, especially at 1:30 your time.
I was told yesterday that I could not have "actual" Peace with giving your worries to God until you are able to "completely" belive your children actually belong to God. You have such Faith and I am Praying for Peace to come to you today. I am Praying for a miraculous result and that God will make all spots disappear. He can bring miracles and He is BIGGER than that vent. We love you and we are thinking of you --
Bless you, Trish. You are doing a fabulous job! Hang in there--I have no doubt that God will carry you through this day. Love and prayers, Karen
For some reason today, you were heavy on my heart. We had our small groups today in school. I had the whole language school praying for you. There was not a dry eye in the place. We are so thankful that God put this angel in your arms. We are so thankful she has a mommy to look at, to hear pray for her, and to give her kisses. After reading your comment today, now I know why we were lifting you and Ashley up in prayer! Love you and think of you often, and pray for you daily!
Trish, we are praying for God's peace to indeed fill your soul today. As so many others have said, your testimony is indeed beautiful- and so very honoring to our Father in heaven. Hoping you and Ashley both know His great goodness this day. With love...
Trying to wait patiently for your next post...but until then...continuing to pray for Ashley. What a blessing it is to see just how many people are praying for your little girl. God is so Good!
