Words can not express the power of your words, prayers, well wishes and love. I have read and shared all that you have done with my family and the doctors, nurses, technicians, all who have asked about my baby. I could not possibly think for a moment that this would be going on all around the community. I see now that my family has extended. But not beyond my reach. I don't care how long it takes, I will personally thank each and every one of you for your kindness. You all have kept me strong when my faith wavered. Reminded me of the power of prayer when my own words failed me. Right now, I can't possibly answer all the emails that have been sent to me. So I wanted to post this and please forward to all of the other threads to let them know I have seen them all.
The songs, your tears, hopes, prayers are heartfelt, so deeply. By all of us, especially my baby girl.
The doctors are very hopeful that she will recover. But it will be a long process. I have my family here for as long as it takes, so please know that we are not alone. What happened to her and as to why will remain a mystery. She had her regular check ups, passed with flying colors, yet this happened. We never know what God has in store for us, but he always has a plan. He may not come to us when we call on him, but he's always on time. I have been through the wringer these past few days. I planned a short camping trip for my kids after school let out. We all talked about it non stop for days. Thank God I didn't plan this a day earlier, because we would have been a long way from the nearest hospital.
She is slowly coming out of the fog, she recognizes every one, and smiles. Even when she sleeps. Her big brother says that she see angels and they are playing with her. I believe that. She has movement and feeling back in her legs. And she looks at me and smiles when she wakes. And she holds my hand when she sleeps. I just need to hear her voice. I need that more than anything.
With my sign off, I want you all to know that we, my family, appreciate everything you are all doing for us. Prayer to the staff of people who deal with things like this on a daily basis are the extension of God's work. And go unnoticed until something tragic happens. They only way I could repay them all, was to share this with them.
Good night, God Bless.
