Ava just came back from OR and her chest is closed!!!! She is doing well and so far has no significant problems. Just another testiment that prayers do work.
And not even a little setback. Praise God. That is soooo awesome. Prayers most definitely move mountains. And this little lady has an army praying for her. It sounds like she is doing incredible. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers and hopefully you’ll be able to cuddle your sweet baby again soon.
You go Ava!! I knew you would be a little fighter like your brother. Definetly a big step for her. I hope all continues to go as well as it has so far. I am sure it won't be long and you will all be in the peace and quiet of your own home. Last night Dylan was filling these forms out for school and he wanted to send one to you guys. I wrote down the address for him and he said, Junction City?, I thought they live in Kansas City. I said no. And he said like duh, at the RMH. I had to explain to him that was just until Ava got strong enough to go home and that I thought Nate and Kaden were going to go home for a few days this weekend. It was so cute. Anyway, continue to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. I am constantly checking to see if there is news on Ava and Kaden. I am not sure if we will be down this weekend or not. We will let you know. Big, Big hugs Amy
That is such good news, another step forward for sweet little Ava. Hopefully it will be soon now that you can pick Ava up and cradle and hug her again. You are always in our prayers and thoughts. Hugs and kisses to you all. Love Always Pamela & Megan

Special Angel In Heaven
There's a special Angel in Heaven that is a part of me. It is not where I wanted her but where God wanted her to be.
She was here but just a moment like a night time shooting star. And though she is in Heaven she isn't very far.
She touched the heart of many like only an Angel can do. I would've held her every minute if the end I only knew.
So I send this special message to the Heaven up above. Please take care of my Angel and send her all my love. -Author unknown
A WALK TO REMEMBER
I walk to remember the steps you'll never take. I carry you with me as I firmly plant my feet. Our trek started long ago, before my belly swelled. You were a love that grew-like butterfly wings that beat. Your gentle flutters than became kicks upon which I would dwell. And I would talk to you, sweet babe, about the world you soon would meet. The sun always shown upon us then-when you were in my womb. And I was eager to show you the world that would have been your home. How you'd have loved the sun shining-blue skies without a cloud. The autumn leaves turning-the snow falling all around. The flowers in the summer,would have filled your eyes with smiles. And the rain that might have fallen would have caused you great surprise. You would have traveled far with me-holding me by the hand. And I'd have shown you all I could-more than I can imagine. You hold my heart tightly now, as thought we're holding hands. How far we've traveled, little one-and my life with you has been sweet. For I carry you in my heart as I firmly plant my feet.
I have four wonderful, beautiful children. Three are here on earth with us, the other received her wings and is now in Heaven watching over us. I take pride in my children, they are the strongest people I have ever met. I have been blessed to be a part of their lives. I am TRULY grateful that God chose my husband and I to love these children. I have never known a greater love than a mommy's love.
THE CHOSEN ONES I had a dream the other night. It came to me so clear. I stood before the throne of God,afraid to come too near. God said to me, "I hear your prayers. There are answers you can't find. I brought you here to talk to me and help to ease your mind. "I said,"Well, yes, God, I am upset...About my special one. This punishment is awfully harsh...Whatever have I done?" God looked at me and shook his head, He said, "My Dear, you've got it wrong. I sent this special child to you because you are so strong. I searched and searched to try and find someone with a love so rare. Parents so unselfish they could give him that special care. I try to save my special gifts,like those you're speaking of,for a special kind of parents I call the 'Chosen Ones. 'Of all the ones to choose from,I know I've got it done...Parents who deserve my best,an honor you have won." -Unknown

It won't be long until she's doing just as good as just as pink! You'll be so amazed with her progress once you're home!
And it wouldn't have bothered me one bit if you borrowed the Chosen Mothers poem from me.... afterall, that's why it's there....!!
Praise God. I walked by and saw her back in her room. She is just so beautiful. Praying for you always.
