The sight of those chest tubes and all the machines and meds next to the bed bring back many memories. I check your blog many times a day and I am praying, praying that all will go well when it is time to take her off the ECMO. Praying for your peace and strength as well. We lived in MI when our daughter had her surgery, but now we live in Boston--so prayers coming from New England. :) Hugs!!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032945144862346604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052573509050485072.post-84573089074089881502010-04-25T01:22:47.795-05:002010-04-25T01:22:47.795-05:00Praying for your sweet baby girl!

The blessing of technology. I know many are praying for you, regardless if they every get to verbally express that to you!! (as I say 'you' I mean your whole family!) <br /><br />I am simply inspired by the encouragement you pour out even in the midst of everything you and your family are going through. You testify 2 Corin 1:3-7!! Thank YOU!<br /><br />Chrissie's name, CHRISTyn Joy, continually resounds in my mind, knowing that God has placed her on my heart to continue to lift her up in prayer. May your thoughts and doubts not limit His POWER! He is sovereignly reigning in your lives, may your confidence and trust come from HIM, may all fear be washed out from you when the heat comes, and goodness you are bearing fruit as you glorify His name (Jer 17:7-8)!<br /><br />Praying this over Chrissie, you, Matt, and your family!:<br />"Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and portion forever. Bust as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds" Ps 73: 25-26, 28<br /><br />Praying, praying, praying!!<br />JillianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052573509050485072.post-82465290679805767732010-04-25T00:15:26.834-05:002010-04-25T00:15:26.834-05:00Father be with Lorraine and Matt, give them peace ...Father be with Lorraine and Matt, give them peace as Chrissie "wakes up".
