Liam has continued to do well on a small amount of oxygen, sleeping a lot today. The pediatrics floor is booked for the night, so we will be staying down here in the CHSU another night, hopefully our last for a good long while.
The journey...that is what it is all about, what HE is all about. I have learned more about myself, about my faith, about my marriage and about our courageous little boy in the last couple weeks than I think I have my entire life. My prayer through all of this first and foremost was for Liam's heart to be healed, but also that God would mold me into more of the person He wants me to be, that God would mend my heart too. And if only I could somehow paint a picture of what God has done in my family through our journey with Liam, how he has healed us, carried us, purposed us, comforted us, and ultimately rejoiced with us, I would hang it above our mantle as a priceless masterpiece, designed and inspired by our one true God. Oh, how I hope to continue praising Him, whether it's in the fire or after walking through it.

Since all is quiet here right now, I'll leave with a link to a great song that a relative of mine sent me in the midst of our journey here...it really spoke to my heart...and gives me peace knowing we never walk alone.
"Your Hands" by JJ Heller
I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands
Been with yall everyday, prayers continue....love to all of you and the staff of care...love to little Liam do not dispaire!
