So far, my posts have strictly contained baby updates and fundraising info. Today, however, I tell you how were REALLY doing... Weve been strong and hopeful through this whole process--pressing forward with smiles and optimism, despite all that the doctors say. We were so thrilled to experience the miracle of the fluid around Evies heart disappearing and we were certain things would only get better from there. But even though the fluid disappeared, the doctors still chose to monitor Evie everyday this week, for the exception of yesterday, and have decided to continue monitoring her almost every day (even through the weekends). Weve spent hours driving to and from Portland (from Oxford), hours sitting in waiting rooms, and hours trying to run pre-baby errands in between. Everyday we spend our mornings preparing for the day ahead and then we come home exhausted to a house full of unfinished chores and a long list of to-dos, only to start the cycle all over again the next day. We are overwhelmed by these daily appointments, overwhelmed by the uncertainty of Evies condition, and overwhelmed that this journey will continue to go on without a break. I am at the point of tears already--a point which I thought I wouldnt reach until after Evies birth. We feel like we cannot go on, but I know that we will. It just feels unbearably hard right now... Lord Jesus, we need You. Give us the strength we need to get through each day. Take control in these areas where we have none. Comfort us, fill us with Your joy and Your love, and cover us in Your peace. We love you Lord. Thank You for all that You have been doing in our lives, and we ask that You continue to walk with us through this journey and beyond. Amen.
