Hannah's Sick!!!


We don't know what could be wrong. Our perfect little one that never had a sick visit until she was 7 months has now had 9 unexplained fever episodes (in only 3 months). She goes in for blood work tomorrow and I hate to watch them poke on her. She's still so little; she's only gained 3 oz. in 6 months and not gotten any longer. She eats better than any of our kids and she's the sweetest tempered baby that I've ever known. Really, this is a cry for prayer for Hannah and for her mommy and daddy. Walt and I haven't slept for 3 days and are snipping at each other and the kids. I know it's hard to believe....I'm not a jewel when I'm sleepy:)!

I do want to take a second to say that I truly trust God no matter what the tests show! I will bless His name and know that He has my best interest at heart and that He loves her more than I ever could. The pic above is so symbolic of our lives. Hannah is so happy riding in her daddy's arms. She squeals in delight as I am chasing her. She knows that no matter what... she's safe and even I can't get her. That's kind of how I feel; I know that if I draw close to my Father, he'll hold us safe and everything will be ok. I will squeal in delight as I grow to know "Papa" God deeper every day.

I just hate to see her in pain....ever

Thanks for your prayers guys! Thank you Lord for giving me the baby that could make any mommy long for more just like her. She's truly a PERFECT GIFT.... to a splendidly imperfect mommy.


I just corrected the grammatical mistakes in this post.... I can only say that I hadn't slept in days:)

D.S. and I just finished our devotions, but we will sit down right now and pray for Hannah. Keep us informed.

BTW, look at you here in bloggy land! It's fun isn't it?? And here's the thing. I have met many friends through my blog that have prayed faithfully for us during this time, and I've never even met them in person.
