I felt like I failed at both, just not knowing what to do and say. I, like you knew that the reality of it was that our little angel might not make it and I did not want to accept that at all! I also knew a God full of mercy and grace and all I knew to do was to call on Him and cry out to Him day after day believing that He was hearing and answering my prayers. As I sit here today I feel even closer to that God and cry out to Him even more KNOWING that he hears every cry and He has shown over and over again that awesome love that He has for our Ashley! I know He hears every cry from our mouths and every cry from our hearts and will never, ever leave us. I'm so looking forward to the day when Ash is old enough to know and feel that same love from the God of the universe! My prayers will not stop and He will not stop answering. How great it must feel to Him that so many people have come back to Him, grown closer to Him and even accepted Him through His marvelous plan for Ashley's life! You and David and Blake and Allie are such an important part of that great plan! I love you and thank you all for allowing me to be a part of it all, too. It's such an honor to be "Grandma".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-1162040981550595612006-10-28T08:09:00.000-05:002006-10-28T08:09:00.000-05:00As I read your post today....tears rolled down my ...As I read your post today....tears rolled down my cheeks. The first part was tears of joy...knowing that you are seeing signs of "Ashley" return to you. How thankful I am for those gifts from the FATHER. Secondly, (I know our situations are so very different...) but...I remember when Josh was four days old...he wasn't moving anything but his fingertips (he wasn't on any medications) we had a horrible birth. But, they suggested that he might have a horrible disease & would & they were pretty sure that he had this. They said he would die in 6 months to a year ...typically ...if he indeed had this disease. As we waited for the jet to arrive with a team that would take us to Dallas Childrens..... I felt so HELPLESS .....but tried to absorb the reality....the possiblity.....it was a desperate feeling....I was numb....would have traded places with him if I could. Still would...so he could walk & run. Oh....God really worked on me during that time & continues to do so...through Josh...through your story. He has spoken to me about FAITH...TRUST...trying to give it all to HIM & not worry. It is a struggle ....but He grants peace when I do. (Rambling) .....anyway...your post touched me. I am so happy for you to see a glimpse of your angel. I will be praying for you & your family.

My husband and I "claimed" this song, too, when our newborn daughter was diagnosed with a genetic syndrome, a heart defect, and a kidney defect. We call it Addison's Song:) I wonder if Casting Crowns knows how many people that song has touched?<BR/><BR/>Praying for you tonight . . .Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867656058895825645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-1162006370183728342006-10-27T22:32:00.000-05:002006-10-27T22:32:00.000-05:00Just want you to know we have been praying for you...Just want you to know we have been praying for your little gherkin today....I am so thankful that she is giving you little pieces of her old self back to you. I know how it must comfort you each time she comes back to you....I praise God that she has made it through another day. We just know that He has such wondrous plans for Ashley and the story He is creating in her life. The triumphs, the setbacks, the heart aches, and victories....they are all a part of His master plan. I can't wait to see all the ways He plans to use her as she grows, she has touched so many lives already, and we know there are many who don't even know of her yet. Your faith has been such an inspiration....Even through the struggles you remain constant in your faith and testimony. We pray that you continue to have complete trust in Him. I know how hard it must be at times, but you can do it! All of us here in TX as well as other parts of the world will continue praying you through!
