Every Hour..

This is my Miracle.

Over the last few weeks I have felt at peace about Tempe. More than thankful every day. There is not a day, or even an hour that goes by when I am not aware that this little girl is living proof that God is out there. Proof that the universe listens to us. Everyone that we see reassures us that she is fine, but having a doctor back you up always feels good.

So the big news is that we had a Neurology appointment yesterday and it was great. Really it was more than great...The doctor could not see anything bad going on. Now I have been through this enough to know that things in the brain are a mystery, but I also know that Jasper was showing signs of problems from day one. Tempe is not!!! She is perfect. Again, I will not be naive, I know that we still have a long road and we have to keep an eye on her... BUT STILL!!! Seriously.... she is perfect.




We know that we have been blessed with a miracle. This child was very sick. Not just "oh she is sick", more like, "she may not make the transport", or "she may not make it of ECMO", or "her brain damage might not let her make it on her own" sick. Its crazy and amazing to think that she is mine. That I have been trusted to raise and love this angel.

So here is my "Thank you" to all of you who prayed for her. I know that people all over the world saw my posts and also sent her emails and I hope that get to see that there is power in prayer. Power that I may never understand, but I don't think I need to. I know and trust that we are all pieces of a much larger puzzle.


Thank you for asking God to let me keep this baby, for trusting me with this amazing baby.  Thank you for adding Tempe to your prayer lists, sharing our story with your churches and your friends and keeping us in your hearts.  I am forever thankful. 

Jasper was not crazy about her at first!
