One year ago today...

One year ago today Marie was inpatient at Children's Hospital having her g-tube placed. The hours that she was in sugery were the longest that I have lived through yet. We were terrified and she was so tiny. They told us she had failure to thrive and was starving to death. They told us her prognosis was poor. We were given every indication to believe that her life would be brief, painful, and much harder than it should have been. We didn't know what end was up and were simply clinging to God for a miracle.





I think He's answered a few prayers in the last year don't you?!

Marie is so beautiful, what a sweet smile!
We might be getting Abigail's g-tube placed on the 26th, but don't know for sure yet.
Saying prayers for you all and Marie! God be with you!
