I will protect you

So, the afternoon of the surgery proved a little rougher. She was happy & fine coming out of surgery, eating and drinking, but a few hours later, she started throwing up and got a fever. The doctors gave her some medicine to help with her discomfort b/c she is sore at her surgery sites, as well as an antibiotic because of the fever. They are very precautionary to fight off infection since her body isn't working exactly as it should be right now. It is hard to see her feeling bad since she has been up & playing around the last few days. Even though she is feeling yucky, she is still the sweetest little thing ever. She is constantly wanting mom & dad to lay with her and she is giving us hugs & kisses and telling us she loves us sooo much. She also has told each of us she will "protet" (protect) us if there happens to be a scary part in a cartoon or movie she is watching. She is definitely the brave one.

    I just heard about little Brooklyn. My heart and soul and love and prayers go out to you and your family. I know how shocking it is from a personal level to find out something is not right with your baby, and it is devastating. Those first few weeks you feel like your life just turned upside down. As time goes by you feel more and more confident that you can handle what God has given you and you become stronger than you ever have believed you could be. You do it for your child and because in everything, there is a blessing. I will be following Brooklyn's journey and if you need an ear from someone who knows much about the world of a baby who has had health issues, I am here. Although they are much different, you would be amazed at how much they are alike, and the resources I might be able to share with you. Love to you.

    Leon said "when Brooklyn feels better she can come to my house and play". I told him of course she'll come and play. We love you all so much. D

    When doing my devotions this morning, I was led to a verse while praying for the family and Brooklyn- Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. Psalm 126:5-6

    You guys are in our prayers. We continue to pray for Brooklyn's body to heal and for your spirit to stay strong. I am sorry I didn't make it today. I am getting a little cold and from reading your post today, it sounded like it was for the best.

    The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you, he will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged. Dt 31:8 this verse encourages me as I have to trust that God has you in his loving arms yesterday, today and tomorrow. I hope it encourages you too! Continuing to pray for you! Big Hugs!
