Walk By Faith

I was sitting in bed last night listening to the Jeremy Camp song, "Walk By Faith." Wow! I feel like he stepped into my life and thought about us and others who have been in tough situations where you have to have total faith in God, because you have no idea what to expect from day to day.

Just think a week ago Natalie had heart surgery. I remember when our doctor game out and told us the surgery did not work and they were going to remove the BT Shunt, because if they left it in she would probably not make it through the night. God was totally with Larry and I at that moment, because in our minds Natalie was alive and going to be okay. Who cares if we have to move to Dallas for a while, our daughter is alive and whatever comes our way we can handle it with God, our family and our friends.

I wish I had taken a picture, but at the time it did not cross my mind for obvious reasons. They brought us to a hallway after surgery where we could see her as the surgical team brought her into the ICU. I remember looking down the empty hallway waiting for my baby girl. Then, it was like a team of Angels that turned the corner with her bed bringing her down the hallway. I can't tell you how overwhelming of an experience that is, to see this surgical team (Angels) walking on either side of your baby girl bringing her back to you. God is amazing!

Natalie is doing better every day. She just took 4oz! She also got her arterial line out and her feeding tube. She is like a new women! She is currently sitting in her Gigi's lap, happy as she can be. We are still waiting on a bed on the 8th floor, but that is okay. We love our nurses in ICU and do not mind waiting.
