more....

Ava will be getting her chest closed tomorrow, as long as things continue to go as they are. I was asking Ava's night nurse questions about tomorrow and the answers have kind of made me nervous. She said that having her chest closed could make her take a few steps back...and that makes me scared and sad at the same time. Ava has worked really hard to get to where she is right now and I would hate for something to set her back...but it needs to be done. So please pray that everything goes well so she can come home and live life like any other baby. Thank you so much. We will update tomorrow and let you know how things go.

I am sure Ava will be strong and come through getting her chest closed. I am praying that she does well. I am sure she is just waiting for her mommy & daddy to pick her up & hold her. I know it will be a little scary, but a small step back and huge step foward. Stay strong (like I know you will)& we will be waiting to hear some news.
Love to all.; February 27, 2008 at 9:34 AM

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.

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
