Day 3

I really have nothing new to say this morning. She had a good night and Mark and I had a fabulous time sharing the pull out vinyl chair for 1. (I thought he took up too much room in a king sized bed!)

Kaiya is getting nutrition now through the NJ tube, so pray that her system will correctly process the food. They wonder if she had a little stroke, which is causing the eye problems. Please continue to pray for that left eye...Also for her breathing, that as they think about taking her off the ventilator in a few days-her body will be able to respirate properly. (this won't be too soon...but proactive prayer, right?) And of course, very importantly, the fluid on her brain.

A big huge thank you to all the people who have given to us over the last few days. Thank you for coming to hug us even though you can only look through the window. A special thanks to my sweet bible study leader Kate-who was here basically as soon as we were on Thursday and stayed with us, and since has been the angel of food. Stopping by quickly with yummy snacks and a hug. (um, Blue Diamond Brown sugar cinnamon almonds?? YUM!) Mark's family in the area has been amazing. And thanks to the people who aren't here but praying for us. How humbling.

As I am up reading this morning and watching my sweet girl in that huge bed, the following verses just kept coming to mind. Love this chapter (Ephesians 3)-and have often prayed it for others...I don't like to "name it and claim it"...because God is infinitely wiser and his plan is better than my selfish desires, but I do believe that he can do more than we would ever imagine. I'm believing that he will do that for Kaiya. How that looks, I don't know. But I'm trusting him.

" And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. "

Love to you...
