Our RollerCoaster Life Just Got Fun

Thank you for praying for Abby and the rest of our family. We still have some serious concerns about Abby BUT, BUT,BUT........... she is well enough to come home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abby's apnea has completely stopped, so it is safe for her to be discharged from the hospital. Praise God! We are thrilled she is home where she belongs. We can't say thank you enough for all of your prayers, encouragement and support. The love you have shown our family amazes us.

Abby's headaches are still there. We are bringing out the big gun pain relievers to try make them leave her alone and will do a spinal tap in the next few days.

No guarantees for tomorrow but we are spending every second we have home loving on our children and celebrating Christ's birth.

Please keep praying Abby's breathing continues to improve, for protection from infection, her headaches will stop, the pressure in her head will return to normal and for the cancer cells in her body to be destroyed .

Most importantly let's praise God for allowing Abby to be home. We will post pictures soon. We are heading out to look at Christmas lights.

Oh, Thank You, LORD!!! I have been so heavy with a burden for Abby the last few days and have prayed more for her than I think I ever have. I count it as such an honor to share in the miracle God is performing in her little body.

Have a very, very blessed Christmas at HOME.

PJ said...

I am so happy that Abbey has gotten to come home. I will continue to pray for her because I rebuke all sickness in Jesus' Name. Our God is a Healer. It is not His will that she be sick. I believe Abbey will be totally healed, but in God's time. I have to keep telling myself that because I have not mastered patience yet. God Bless you all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I wrote this comment on this blog, because I couldn't "visit" the other. Please pass hugs on to the kids, as I know that this must take a toll on all concerned the other children included.

Thank you dear Lord, for allowing Abby to be home for now, and for her and her family to go out and do something so normal, and so wonderful, as to go out and look at Christmas lights. Please may your hand of protection be upon her. In the glorious name of Jesus Christ our Savior, I thank you and praise you. Amen
