Answered Prayers

Well, it's been a late night. We just got back from the hospital...but the last news was good news so we can at least sleep in peace for a few hours.

When we went back after supper, Kaela's latest x-ray looked even worse. It was scary to see her bowels so distended and worry that they might rupture. We sat and watched her, talked to her, prayed with her for a couple hours. Also, we called our church and requested some of the elders to come pray over her as well. They arrived around 10:15 and laid hands on Kaela and prayed for her. At 11:15, her x-ray looked like a different child. It looked almost completely cleared up. Also, Kaela had gone from a restless baby with a scrunched up face as she moved around in obvious discomfort, to a peacefully sleeping little one. Thank you Lord for answered prayers! Over the next day or two, we'll keep getting culture results back from her blood, stool and urine and see if/where the infection is. She's already being treated with three different antibiotics...so whatever it is, hopefully it will clear up.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and encouragement - we feel and see the results. Thank you Lord for hearing all the prayers and answering them, for holding our baby girl in Your healing hands.

Thank you friends and family for all the care you've provided for Christopher today, for the laundry, food, hugs, tears, and support. We love you all!
