Oh, Zia... I wish I could hold you in my arms, so you would feel yet another person's love. (Even though I know your parents give you plenty!!) You're a perfect little baby girl. I think of you so often. It's impossible for me not to, with another perfect little baby girl constantly giving me a hard time! I wish I could do more for you than send you wishes, good thoughts, and love. But since that's all I have, I'm gonna BURY you in it!!!!!!!! Get ready, sweetheart, because here it comes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus is holding her in His arms while she is sick.

|G
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

Furls Fire wrote:Hail everyone, I'm putting in another prayer request. Our little Silezia is not doing very well and is back in the hospital. If the Father wishes to take her Home, then we will let her go, of course. If it is His wish that she stay a little longer then we ask for prayers to make her suffering less.

Peace and God bless :hearts:

Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
Are we going there to visit, or are we going there to stay?
Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
And do you think that God could use another Angel,
To help pour out the rain?

--Buddy Jewell, "Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey's Song)
I'm really sorry to hear that Furls. :( I really hope that she gets better. |G

Fist, I will give her every single one of those huggles :)

Thank you for the prayers everyone :)

Zia is now in a coma, has been since saturday. She is also on a vent, we have decided to let her go if she goes into arrest, but we will not voluntarely remove the ventilator. There is a good chance that the meds will counter the infection and she will come back to us. She's a fighter. :hearts:
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Zia woke up today for a short period of time, her temp is back to normal so the meds are working :) She's still very sick and will be until we are sure there is no more CTM. We aren't sure if she can see yet, she was only awake for a few minutes. We are over the high hurdle tho. Keep the prayers coming everyone!!

God bless :hearts:


Doctors have come from distant cities
Just to see me
Stand over my bed
Disbelieving what they're seeing

They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see they can offer
No explanation

Newspapers ask intimate questions
Want confessions
They reach into my head
To steal the glory of my story

They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see they can offer
No explanation

O, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She'll make her way

People see me
I'm a challenge to your balance
I'm over your heads
How I confound you and astound you
To know I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as you see you can offer me
No explanation

O, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as she came to my mother
Know this child will not suffer
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She'll make her way

--Wonder, by Natalie Merchant
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

She's awake!! But we don't believe she can see well, as we talked to her last night, her eyes tried to find us and didn't. This happened before, so we are hopeful that her sight will come back in the next few days. I believe we are beyond the crisis now, praise Jesus. :D

And now, I'm off to bed for a while. I've been awake for almost 55 hours straight.

Love you all, and thank you again for all your prayers and well wishes. Zia is still with us!!! :hearts:

Peace! :D :D

Stephen's thread is at 50 pages!!! :letsparty:

What an amazing thing!!! I never thought when I started this in his honor that it would explode as it has. HUGGLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to all of you who have come here to read him and let him touch you as he always touches me. |G

Zia is doing very well. She will be coming home tomorrow! She got a transfusion today so her CD4 is back up there. Her eyesight seems to be coming back a little, but we can tell she has a very hard time focusing. Thank you all again for your prayers and well wishes!! I love each and every one of you!! :hearts:

And I did manage to get some sleep, and feel alot better :D :D
