Y'all... I love this post from SND. Be ready to shed a happy tear.
Today was a difficult day. Today marks one entire month of Gracelynn being at ACH. I never in a million years would have guessed we would be in this situation with her. She was the healthiest of my trio. The one who "didn't know she was a preemie" as all the NICU nurses joked because she did so well. But yet here we are. The doctors in the PICU never thought she would require such scary interventions. The last month has been even more difficult than our NICU stay. Watching my lively, adorable, sweet, sassy child turn into a helpless, sedated, sick child unable to breathe on her own or even move has been heart wrenching. Almost losing her too many time to count has forever scarred me in ways I will never get over. But she is still fighting and slowly but surely she is improving. One baby step, one "inch"stone (instead of milestone), one moment, one accomplishment at a time we are getting closer to healing!
I'm not posting this to say poor me. I am posting this to say I AM BLESSED! Not only do I still have my three miracle babies, but they have continued to defy ALL medical odds and disprove everything doctors have to say. This journey has made me yet again realize what hope, faith, and perseverance really are! It's forced me to let go of the control I so desire and cling to. I've had to place my beautiful miracle in Gods hands and give up any and all control I have. I have seen that kindness and generosity still exist. When she was put on ECMO, I received messages, emails, PMs, calls,letters, etc from all across the WORLD saying they were praying for my sweet baby! Every denomination of church, friends of friends, people I didn't know, infertility groups I haven't been on since my delivery, triplet groups of ladies I haven't even met face to face, the list goes on and on of people that have reached out and lifted us up in prayers and even given donations, provided meals, sent gifts, written letters, so many things I can't even begin to list them all. I am learned to NEVER doubt God and the power of prayer!!
Without everyone's prayers, support, gifts, meals, cards, text, calls, drop ins, etc I would never have made it through this trial we are going through.
A song comes to my mind -
" I've never lost my hope
I've never lost my joy
I've never lost my faith
But most of all I never lost my praise"
No matter what season of life you are going through never lose your praise. Never stop believing that God can do ALL things!
