I am a mom of a cutie pie (very biased). And I wanted to share my experiences with others (including my cuties grandparents, great-grandparents, numerous uncles and other relatives). I love being a mom and can't imagine doing anything else.Little Mercies
We gave Livi the Gleevac and it came right back up. I actually think the reason that it did was there was a tiny peice of the pill that didn't get squished the whole way and it clogged the tube and I got nervous and pushed too hard and it all shot into her mouth and she gagged...and up came the Gleevac. I just started to cry. I knew it was my fault and I knew that ment NG tube. No trusting God here. Grrr...
Well we talked to our sweet nurse and she talked to the docs and they said we could try one more time. i borrowed a pill crusher from the nurses station (great little invention...way better than mine) and crushed away...said a prayer..and it worked!! she took it and kept it down. No NG tube here. Why dont' I have faith until things work out my way? I still have so much to learn.

emily-
thanking God for His mercies at all times of the day and night. may you continue to see His mercies throughout today. love you-jamie
oh great news! love, prayers, thoughts are with you today. xoxo
...because you are just like all the rest of us...its how we learn. And believe you me, when this is over, you will be so far ahead of where you started that your socks will blow off. Not that we even care about that, I'd just as soon keep my socks on (and you yours) but that is really not the point - God is working his good purpose in each of us. We are the apple of his eye, just as Livi is yours. And the degree of suffering is not even proportionate to the joy promised... the joy will overshadow and far exceed it. My prayer is for the endurance you will need in the meantime to be able to put one foot in front of the other every hour and just walk through this. Because there is love, so much love, being poured all over the place in our tears, our prayers, our efforts, our "mistakes", our words and deeds, everyone involved! If you feel like you are drowning, maybe its because of all the love that surrounds and engulfs you. God is honored. We are shaped, cut, pruned, pounded,pushed, pulled, stripped,chiseled, pressed, shaken, emptied, filled, burned, scarred,broken, destroyed and restored, blessed by the Creator who gave us our life. Father, send your blessing and favor to us in our hour of need. Heal your precious one. Our precious one. Alivia. So beautiful, unique, dear, sweet, full of life and wonder and joy. You know best. Thank you for the nurses, for Emily, for all those you have used to be there for her. Please will you add your supernatural touch, comfort, ease, peace, and relief from any unnecessary pain or fear that may slip through the cracks. We ask that the enemy be kept at bay where he belongs and be unable to touch her body or harm her in any way. If we may be so bold, we ask this, in Jesus' name.

Dear Sweet Mommy Emily,
You bless me over and over as I read of you constant dependence on Jesus even in your discouragment and stress your center is The Father. We will try and pray better for you and yours. Your baby has the best momma. God picked just for her!!
Unrelated question: Are there any bracletes at your parent's and is anyone there to distribute? I told Jer we could buy some for his class at school. So I need 15 to 20 or so. I can stop and get them or whatever. email: stillwaters1@windstream.net
thanks. sek
this makes me glad, in the fullness of the word.
Praying for you all. I know how hard isolation, NPO, etc can be for little patients and their families. I'm thankful that the Lord is providing you small mercies that remind you he is in control and loves you!
