Quick Visit

 Due to the fact that we have 2 kids moving this week, 2 kids celebrating birthdays (Jex on the 26th & Mommy Lyza on the 28th), and a reunion…Papa & I decided to make a quick trip up to see our tiny warrior princess.

She’s doing well, holding steady and she even let me hear her cry a little. 

It’s a waiting game with her liver. The blood tests show that it’s out of acute failure but we are just waiting for it to start working to full capacity. As soon as the liver works completely then the swollen stomach will go down & the breathing will get easier so the mask can come off, etc, etc

As we have seen before, if our prayers are specific it works well. We will be praying for normal liver function.

Mommy is getting a little braver & going on short walks w/Daddy but Daddy is going stir crazy. It helps a lot when the nurses let Mommy hold Echo. They could probably use a few prayers for comfort.

Life is good. God hears & answers prayers and miracles happen.

No Words

There are no words.  Less than 2 weeks after this all began and less than a week since Lyza asked everyone to fast for our little Echo and so many miracles have happened! Thank you so much to each of you who dropped to your knees & answered our plea for immediate help. Today Echo met a key milestone as she was taken off all oxygen, tried to take a bottle and was transferred out of the PICU! Our hearts are so full of gratitude for all the prayers offered on her behalf and for a loving Heavenly Father who had mercy on our little warrior.  She still has some mountains to climb but she’s stronger from the battle and we feel like her chances are looking pretty good. Chris & Lyza are also grateful for those who have donated to help with expenses. They have been humbled by your generosity.

Echo had her follow up appt with the eye dr. They need to watch closely for side effects from the viral meningitis. She passed w/flying colors & doesn’t need to go back for 6 months. She is also doing well to take all of her feedings by bottle so she got her NG tube out yesterday. Good things happening! Guess we should add that she has 4 cousins that adore her.

Our Miracle Turned One!

What a year! I don’t think that there has been a milestone or activity that did not remind us how lucky we are to still have our sweet Echo. She is a walking, talking ball of sunshine & attitude. Her doctors continue to marvel at her strides as she checks off all the boxes. Echo celebrated her birthday with her family at Hogle Zoo, ate lunch at Primary Childrens cafeteria and opened presents & ate cupcakes in the hospital parking garage. We love our little warrior!💕
