Macy - Monday Morning

Macy had a great night for her first night in a regular room. She hasn't been on any oxygen since yesterday morning and she has been bottle feeding throughout the night. The only "drug" she's still getting is Tylenol. The nurse from the night shift thinks there is a good chance she could go home TODAY!!

Last night as I held Macy and fed her, my prayer was that God's will be done for her. He has been so good and faithful to us throughout this whole ordeal. I prayed for patience and energy as I committed the timing of going home to Him. His timing is perfect...not the doctors' and not mine. So although every fiber of my being wanted to pray for her to go home today, I did not. But God is so good. He loves sweet Macy even more than I can. I thanked Him for trusting me with her precious little life and for the privelege of being her Mommy. I know I keep repeating myself, but I just can not thank all of you enough for your faithfulness in praying for Macy's recovery.

As I reflect back on the last 2 weeks, I am amazed at what she has overcome. She was basically in a medically induced coma for 11 days while her tiny body fought off this nasty and aggressive virus. When the nurses on this floor learned that she was on the breathing tube for 11 days, they all said what a strong and lucky little girl she is that she pulled through. I guess in my head I knew that there was a chance she wouldn't win her battle with RSV, but my heart never accepted that as a possibility. With the peace and strength that only comes from God, and with the blessing of having support from all of you, we have emerged from this battle victorious!

God bless you all!
