Coming Home

FINALLY! our baby girl will be coming home!!
Here is the scoop from my last post......
God sure answers prayer, DUH! He gave me a change of heart to help this YOUNG mom and encourage her to get moving fast on what she needs to do. She has still be staying at the hospital and doing okay with baby. They (the nurses) have had some ups and downs with her, but truly see her making progress on becoming a mom.
Baby girl will be coming home(our house) tomorrow, still on oxygen but hoping to be off my the end of the month. She was taken off her IV and drop down on her oxygen a great deal yesterday! I was SO SO excited to finally see this happen.
It will be interesting to see how this next week goes, as a fight with DHS to keep her home for the week and not go out! I would hate to see us back in the hospital just because we had to go out so much. 
Please still keep us in your prayers, as I know this will be the hardest case we may have to deal with.
Thank you all for such love and support, I truly do not know what we would do with out our friends, family, and church body that has been SO great to us. It is so peaceful to know that we had SO may people praying for us ALL over!

UGHHHH!!!!

Well friends and family I have finally found a minute that I can update you on  whats going on in your small but crazy families life.
For those of you who may not know our little foster baby girl is in the hospital. She was admitted late afternoon on Tuesday. After some test were taken we found that she has RSV. I stayed the first night in the hospital and all of the 2nd day. But now they (DHS) are letting Bio mom say with her.
I know crazy right for them to take a baby away from her and then just give her back at the drop of the hat. I will have to admit at first it was my idea that she stay the night, but they were already giving her (bio mom) 24hr access to her, so why should she not step in and be mom for reals! Well I do not know what I was thinking and well to be honest I still don't.
Right now I am at a lost for words and have just given it ALL to God... Waiting on his leading and trying to keep my mouth shut, which is really hard for me. As for our baby girl, she is getting better and we are going to try and wean her off the oxygen today. Still not set time for her to be discharged.
We ask that you stand in prayer with us for peace, wisdom and a sound mind. That out girl is healed in the name of Jesus and that she is whole! I am also believing that she will be able to be off the oxygen all together when she is discharged!
Thank you Jesus for all that you have done for us! For bearing our sins on the cross and making our baby girl whole. We thank you that you give JD & I peace and wisdom to deal with what ever comes our way, and that we have grace in this place! That you may still our anxious heart, give me grace to see beyond this moment here to believe that there is nothing left to fear,that you alone are high above it all.
Thank you Lord
Amen
