Wylie’s Warriors

First of all, we can not possibly thank everyone for all the support and encouragement we continue to receive!  My heart is full of gratitude...  For Karla.  For the UK Children's Hospital and staff.  For family. For so many wonderful friends.  For a loving God who knit Wylie together and has a wonderful plan for her life--a plan to give her "a hope and a future!"

I sat in the NICU room beside Wylie this morning overwhelmed and in awe.  What kind of world do we live in where I can drive two miles from my front door and walk into a place where the best and brightest minds and the greatest technological advances money can afford are standing by to do everything they can to help a tiny, 4lb 8oz child with genetic complications survive and thrive?  In the past 48 hours, Wylie has had every type of specialist imaginable stop in to check on her, scan her, and explain to us how “surprised” they are that she is doing so well.  Even more, they let us know they are prepared should something change!  Yes, we live in an amazing time in human history and in an amazing country!  Most of all, we live under the care of a God that is mysterious and powerful: listening to and acting on our prayers!  One of our biggest prayers was that she would breathe on her own and that happened after birth!  Today, "more than we can ask or imagine"... she nursed!  Another big prayer was that she would come home.  I trust that will happen in the coming days! 

Below is a link that friends have set up to keep folks updated on progress and ways to help with food etc.  We are super grateful for the support.  I can’t wait for you all to meet this amazing girl!

Ps. Karla will be writing to fill in all the details of the past few days soon.  She is doing great!
