Mommy Gets To Share

Hello All!!!!! Reid ate better and slept better last night after we prayed over him. He woke up a little fussy, cried through a cold spit bath, took his medicine and fell asleep eating. I was able to leave him in on the bed for maybe a half hour. So for me to be able to be out of sight and smelling distance today is a big sign that he is feeling a lot more comfortable today. Ya! ya! Praise the Lord. Even now he has fallen asleep in my arms and I put him in his car seat and he has stayed asleep for now so that I can say hey to all and that I love and miss everyone overwhelmingly, a lot. It has been 24 days since we've been home. Two hospitals two surgeries Piles of stress and loads of info. The first surgery in Missouila was very hard. Just going for very simple hernia surgery to Kasai and liver biopsy, to no Kasai being done to being sent to Seattle. To another team of specialists to attempt a Kasai to them not being able to do the Kasai either, to having now to needing a liver transplant. Which is not easiest info to swallow. There is so much pre, middle, and post stuff to learn and to do so that the liver transplant has a greater chance of success. We have keep Reid away from sickness as much as possible, eating and growing as much as possible and be ready at a moments notice to fly to Seattle when a liver is found. Surgery could take 6 hrs to get started and then between 6 to 8 hours in surgery. A few days in ICU, 2 to 3 week in the gasterolgic pediatrics, then we will be able to leave the hospital, and go to the Ronald McDonald House and visit the Dr's twice a week for a few weeks then once a week for a couple of weeks. Then we could probably go home and have the fly or drive back once a month for a few months. then our visits will be reduce to once a year. Those of you how know me well know that I hate to travel. Well, that will have to change drastically. For we will be doing a lot of traveling. Yikes!! O'well any thing for my miracle boy, who is so brave and strong. He is a SUPER TROOPER!!!!!! The love for a child is so unexplainable, I wish that I could take this all from him and make him all better but I know that I can not, and I also know that Gods loving arms are embracing him and His mercy and grace is all about him. Jesus has and is and will continue to take his pain. BY HIS STRIPES HE ARE HEALED, BY HIS BLOOD HE IS WASHED. HE IS HIS STRENGTH, HIS SHIELD, HIS PEACE, HIS DELIVERER. I sing to him Jesus loves him, Jesus loves the little children of the world, Hosanna, and standing on the promises of God, just in short versions and he is so relaxed and resting in the fathers arms. Thank you Father for your love, provision, protection, wisdom, discernment & continue to do all of these. In His Holy Name Amen. Thank you Jesus!!!! We are know waiting our Dr's visit Tue. 29th. Then with all being well, we will be on the train wed. 30th and be back home Thur. the 1st. Exactly one month later from when we started on this journey. Then we await and prepare for a bran new, perfect little liver, hand picked, molded, and made just for my special baby boy, from his heavenly father. We had a great Thanksgiving with the Hatch Pack. It feels so good not to be in a hospital. But I am very home sick right know. Having Nana and Aunt Rikki and Daddy with me the whole time was great, the female support is great. Having Shawnee here now is a great comfort too. But Nana and Aunt Rikki can not be replaced. I Miss them, But am doing OK!!!! Smiles, loves, hugs, and kisses to all, will be home soon. To All BE Well And Healthy So That You Can Visit When We Return. Love All Mommy!!!
