My Little Abby Turned 4 Today!

Many of you will remember the day that Abby was taken by CareFlight to LeBonheur Children's Hospital just 3 weeks after she was born. She hadn't nursed all night long (for about 12 hours) and Stephanie couldn't figure out why, so she took her into the emergency room. After taking some blood work, they diagnosed her with Bacterial Meningitis and immediately flew her over to LeBonheur. We spent the next 2 weeks in the ICU/SCU. All we knew to do was to trust that God would be pleased to save her little life, through the kindness of her Infectious Disease doctors.

We had never been on 'this side' of so many people's prayers. We were usually the ones praying and ministering to others, so in a weird way, it was one of the most amazing times of receiving God's sustaining grace, while walking through this trial of a storm on our faith.

Well today by God's grace we celebrated her 4th birthday! We had a blast today. We went to eat pizza for lunch and then we headed over to the Memphis Children's Museum, where we 'all' got to play for a few hours. We had so much fun and all the kids are ready to go back soon.

For all of you who prayed for God's sustaining grace on our family during those difficult two weeks, we are thankful to God for you.
