Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

Keep Up the Praying :)


First of all, let me start off by saying that God is so amazing. He led us to a wonderful doctor for Stella! Stella's pediatric cardiologist was great. He not only explained everything, but then proceeded to ask if Brian and I attended church. We replied yes, and then he said, "Well then you know what we need to do. Pray. This little girl didn't just happen into your lives, God placed her there. And he doesn't just give us things on a platter, life just isn't always easy. So I am going to ask you to do a favor for me also...pray for me as well. Humans have a limited amount of wisdom compared to God who has an infinite amount of wisdom."

Today we had Stella's cardiologist appointment so they could monitor her heart murmur. Good news...it is smaller than it was when she was born...but still has a ways to go. He said it was 5-6 mm and now it is about 3-4 mm.

However, he was concerned about her breathing. Her breathing is pretty rapid which may mean she has some fluid in her lungs....which would mean more antibiotics for her lungs. So he sent us back to Dupont to get chest x-rays. He said he should have the results tomorrow (Friday) morning.

So thank you all for the prayers...God is definitely hearing them.....just please keep them up! Love you all!

Wow, he sounds like a great doctor, and OF COURSE we'll continue praying. Stella is a strong little girl, she takes after her mommma and is a little fiesty - which is good (I'll remind you of this when she is 2)! God is good, and he has a plan for everything - I love you guys!
