I really didn't think I would post this week, but I humbly need to thank all of you for your prayers. THEY WORKED!!!! It has been an incredibly heart-wrenching sit and wait kind of week that started late last Friday. I can now clearly see the multitude of blessings in all of it. Long story short... Daughter in-law suddenly fell victim to pre-eclampsia at 32 weeks of pregnancy. Went to ER, ended up getting checked into the hospital to learn that in 48 hrs since her last checkup she 'suddenly' has very severe pre-eclampsia. D-I-L is now in major physical stress and fighting for her own well being against critically high blood pressure, heart, and kidney damage! Now suddenly the baby stopped moving. Into emergency surgery where they delivered my 10th beautiful grand, a little girl weighing 3 pounds 10 ounces and 17 centimeters long. She is WAY premature, but is in great shape. She was born Sunday. She is already off many of the tubes they started with. Now she only has a micro-drip feeding tube down her throat and a little extra oxygen as she grows and learns to develop these skills herself. She is doubling her food intake daily and doing all the baby things she should! My daughter in-law is recuperating much faster than expected and just got released to come home with major restrictions as well as continued monitoring! My son's navy division immediately placed him on emergency leave so he could do what needed to be done. GOD even provided multiple care options for their 6 year old daughter!! I know GOD protected all of them through many blessings all along the way of the last 7 incredulous days. These blessings are too many to list, but you know how GOD shows off in big, loud and little, soft ways. GOD sent his angels to guard my family in California. It was hard, but we did not try to find a way to get there. God put it in my heart to stay home - HE had it under control. I'm very emotional and tearfully wanting each of you to know that while it is easier said than done, fully relying on GOD is what got all of us through this crazy week with wonderful results. Thank you, LORD, for intervening with my human ways! Thank you EVERYDAY OUTREACH for your prayers!
