Flutter, flutter and a question floats through my mind … Is that the baby? After sitting still a few moments and placing my hand on my stomach I felt the first FIRM kick I’ve been able to feel our little one deal. Movement has continued and I know God is doing a mighty thing! Everyday I [...] Shortly after the seizure episode that placed me in a coma and sent my world into orbit I went to church with my parents. I knew the experience had affected me to some degree, but I wasn’t quite prepared for what was coming. As is usually the case, at this church, I was approached by [...] Yesterday was yet another appointment and one more day God has given this child to live. We are praising the Lord for that and continue to wait on Him for His best in this. I have little new to report except that the doctor was able to take one look at my belly and say [...] Marked with briars and brambles, this journey has been home to clearings infused with peace where nothing makes sense, but everything seems good.

It may be one day you’ll be grounded, as I [...] I became more alert toward the end of our stay, but there were still so many drugs lingering in my system that my body didn’t know how to handle them. They produced in me much pain and I felt constantly off balance even in bed. This proved most difficult as I was starting to see [...] Transition to the ICU proved uneventful for me. Grant continued to keep me abreast of what was going on, so good at talking to me whether I was responsive or not. I knew he was there and it made everything easier.
