Shelly, blessings and hugs to you.
I prayed as soon as I opened the email alert.
I will continue to pray.
Please hold on tight to Jesus
and let us know when you can if there's anything we can do.

Oh, Shelly, I truly hope everything is alright with your baby! My heart skipped a beat when I read your post....

I will definitely pray for your baby and your family!

Just to let everyone know my brother's cochlear implant seems to be going really well so far. He is able to hear things that he has never heard before. He heard my family talking and thought it was background noise or something. The dr. had to tell him he was hearing people's voices. He heard the fry daddy the other day and thought that his implant wasn't working right. He explained what he was hearing and it was the fry daddy and he was in awe that he could hear it. It's really awesome that he is starting to hear things he has never heard before even though it is a big adjustment for him! He still has a long way to go though but this is such a drastic change...it is truly a miracle! He has to start speech therapy soon because he is learning to say words correctly and pronounce sounds correctly but he is still having trouble with the "sh" sound and words such as invitation, celebration, etc. But it's only been a week and he has improved probably 60% already! And ftr, he will be 16 years old in a month and a half. I didn't know if I had mentioned how old he was before or not. Thanks for the continued prayers everyone!

Have a great weekend!

I have prayed for you and your baby. God is the great physician. He can
do miracles and as many of us gather in his name to lift you up before the throne of grace, He is in our midst ready to intercede on your behalf.

Tasha, so glad to hear the initial results
of your brother's implant.
I pray that it continues and will always be
a blessing to him, as well as to his friends & family.
Can you imagine what it's like for him to hear his
mother's/father's/your voices????????
As well as his future family and maybe children?
Blessings to him!

Thank you everyone for your prayers. We are now just praying for my emotional and physical healing. I know that God has reasons for everything and we just have to trust this was all in His plan. Thank you again.

Shelly--I am sorry for your loss. I pray that God will hold you up and show you His tender loving care at this hard time. I pray that your faith will be a light to you and you will be able to trust in His greater plan that it is so hard for us to see at times like this. Take care of yourself, dear.

 

[Albertan mom]

Shelly-I will continue to pray for you. How good that you are trusting God. It is so hard for us as humans to even try to understand His ways.
Still praying for you.

 

[Grandma Bear]

Shelly3 God will comfort and strenghten you! He will reward your faithfulness. Know you are loved and prayed for!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Shelly~ I am very sorry you and your family are going through this! I will pray for not only your emotional and physical healing but your family's as well! We're here if you need us!

 

[shelly3girls]

Thank you for your prayers. I wanted to go to church today but was not physically up to it. Yesterday I was devastated but today God has placed a peace in my heart. God is good! The sadness is there but so is the overwhelming feeling of God's love.

Shelly3 God blessings on you and your family! I understand, at least from a father's point of view, what you are going through. God allowed us to go through a very difficult 3 years trying to conceive. DW lost a little one at that time.

It is amazing, though, how God's promises are yes and amen. We now have a wonderful 13 mo old girl, who neer fails to reminnd me of God's great love. And we are even more blessed through her because of our time of trial.

I know God has a plan....continue to hold tight to Him, and He will bear you up!

 

[luvthatduke]

Shelly, your words are a blessing...
You are loved & prayed for, as was mentioned.
Please find even more peace (in time)
knowing that Jesus Himself not only holds you,
your family and your baby now,
but He also intercedes for you - He is praying for you, too!
Cling to Him... He wants to hold you and comfort you...

Shelly - Just want you to know I'm praying for you and your family. We have had 2 miscarriages and it's hard to explain how you feel after that. All I know is that we find comfort in the fact that God sees the big picture and has a plan for each and everything.

I use this verse a lot, but it is always such a comfort to me.

Pslams Chapter 9 - 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Here are some beautiful words to a Carolyn Arends song that was played here for Sanctity of Human Life week.

Only Time Will Tell

They took his picture in his mama's womb
He really put on a show
Dancing and diving for the ultrasound
Fearfully made, and wonderful
But the doctors said we're sorry, there's a problem
We'll do our best to make him well
But we're not sure if we can fix him
Oly time will tell, only time will tell

He had ten perfect toes and fingers
His daddy's eyes, his mama's spark
You'd never know just looking at him
There was a hole inside his heart
But the doctors, they were planning operations
They siad it isn't going well
There's still a chance that we can save him
Only time will tell, only time will tell

There was a power in that fragile little boy
He stole our hearts and broke them
and he filled them up with joy
He lived 130 days on love and force of will
But a heart can only take so much
and one day his stood still

Some say God needed one more angel
But I am certain they are wrong
I think he is as we remember
But now his heart is beating strong
I think his first steps are with Jesus
I think he's glowing pink with health
I cannot prove that I'm not dreaming
Only time will tell, only time will tell

Some say it's cruel for God to make a life and take it
And I suppose that would be true
If this were the world that we were made for
If we weren't only passing through
The truth is we've all got a hole inside us
It's been that way since Adam fell
But there's a rumor of a healing
And of all thing all being well
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell

**** Story behind the song: Carolyn's friends, Chris and Sally, had twins after a long battle with infertility. Joanna lived, but Sean died at four months from a heart condition. A few months after Sean's death I read Things Unseen (the Mark Buchanan book that helped inspire "Great Cloud of Witnesses"). Somewhere in the book Buchanan acknowledges a natural, instinctual reaction to the loss of a child: "Why would God create a life if it's just going to be taken?" He responds with a gentle reminder that this is not the only life for which we were created. Over a period of a few days "Only Time Will Tell" came out in bits and snatches. When it was done I wasn't sure what to do with it ' I didn't know if it would feel insensitive or exploitative to my friends. I sent them the lyric and they blessed it and said they were for anything that helped keep Sean's memory alive. What "Only Time Will Tell" affirms for me in its own addly triumphant way is that while we mourn, we do not mourn as those who have no hope. We mourn as a people who understand that there is both a Now and a Not Yet. **** This was taken from Carolyn Arend's website.
