Back to Work

This week I have this really unusual quiet moment to myself so I decided to blog a little. I am currently sitting in my office waiting for a 4-Her to arrive with her mother so we can get her on track for an exciting year beginning at the end of June. I'm so excited for this young lady to step out of her comfort zone and step up to a leadership role. I've been working on her for a year to do this because I recognized her abilities as soon as I met her and watched her among her peers. She makes what I do very gratifying.

I know you are really wondering how Kaydence is doing. Well, good and not so good. For the past 2 weeks she has been so extremely fussy starting about 3ish every afternoon. This continues for the next 6 hours. I'm not sure if she is uncomfortable, in pain, or just wound up a little. I have concluded that we have a reflux issue and we do have medication for it. As a matter of fact, we started a new med tonight. I hope it helps! She also has a little bit of a startle that gets her pretty upset. I don't know if it is just still her Moro reflex or if it is something more. We will see our infectious disease doctor soon, so I hope that we will be referred to a neurologist to check everything out.

It's things like the startle that make me wonder if I have enough faith in God. I question myself about if taking her to a neurologist isn't having enough faith in God. I am praying for the complete healing of her brain, so is my wanting to take her to a doctor really me saying I don't believe He can heal her without a doctor? On the other hand, I believe God sends us to the right people at the right time and that doctors and nurses are His hands. Who is to say that going to a doctor isn't part of the healing? Let me make this very clear however, I do believe that God can heal without the help of earthly medicine. Kaydence's heart is proof. Her pediatrician said that babies' brains are plastic and we don't know how they will turn out. He also said x-rays and such are just shadows and we shouldn't place our faith in shadows. He is so right about this.

No matter what, I will try not to worry. Instead I will work harder to listen to God. God is in the stillness, so I have to work extra hard to find that time each day when it is still. Unfortunately this is about Midnight for me, but that time is so important to me. I hope others find that time to listen.

I can't find a great way to wrap up my thoughts, so I'll just leave with praise God for what He has done for Kaydence, for me, and for my family and friends. I'll continue to listen, to pray, and to praise. Amen.

  1. Wendy: I think your faith in our God is what keeps you wanting to find answers. Finding the answers by praying to Him and most importantly listening to Him is what makes you such a good Mommy! I continue to keep your sweet family in our prayers.

  2. Never doubt about your faith in GOD. It is the blogs that you write about your faith in our Lord that makes me stop and listen.

    Love,

My Lowest Point

Since we have found happier ground right now , I thought I'd take a moment to share with you what has been my lowest point in this journey thus far - and I hope it is the lowest point period! I know, you're probably wondering why I am regressing to this story, but there may be someone out there who has felt this way and didn't know how to make sense of it, or feels guilty for feeling that way. So the day that I got that call that my amniotic fluid had tested positive for CMV, I texted my pastor and she came right out that afternoon. Tommy, the kids, and I were outside swinging and playing in the sunshine for a little bit when she arrived. She and I went in the house for a little while to pray and counsel. Now, keep in mind, I had already did a lot of thinking before she got there. We again talked about the possibility that God might just choose to take this tiny soul to be with Him. I might not ever know her outside of the womb on earth, but I would know her in Heaven. Pa...

Kaydence is turning 3!

I realize it's been forever since I've written here, but life is so busy! I felt the urge to write this, because, let's be honest, there is no way Facebook will let me post a status this long. Kaydence turns 3 in a matter of minutes. She will probably be 3 years old by the time I get through writing this post. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with her and feeling like I wanted to just wake up from a bad dream. Today, she is turning into a sweet little girl. Where do I even start? I guess I'll start with a word of thanksgiving that God has blessed me with such a treasure. I still don't understand why He would choose me to care for a child like Kaydence Grace. I'm really unworthy of any blessings, yet He chose me for her and her for me. She melts me every single day. You see, I'm still the same sinner I was when I started this blog. I'm not perfect, but He washes away my sins anyway. I'm so thankful. The sins chang...

When Your Heart is Full

Today was the perfect spring day. The weather warmed up. The clouds cleared away leaving sunshine to warm your skin while the green grass feels cool beneath your toes. That is what I hope the day is like when I pass from this earth to be in the presence of my Heavenly Father, much like one of my very best friends did today. Life can be so cruel in that so many days it is just full of the best times, and then at the end you are left fighting the struggles of age. Yet so many blessing happen at all points of life, and the final victory is in that eternal life as a believer in Christ. I have known for a while now, that my grandma's life on earth was drawing to an end and for many days I have spent remembering so many great days spent with her. Her house was my absolute favorite place to be and it was easy to be there because we lived just across the pasture. She was my neighbor and I took full advantage of it. I can only slightly remember one incident when I was small that I was not...
