Friends and family who are praying with us, will you please specifically pray for our Annelise’s lungs tonight? She’s only really got one lung working well, and it’s causing her to have retracted breathing, and work really hard for those breaths, even with the breathing tube. I am forever grateful to be in Omaha with these brilliant doctors and nurses. They worked together to quickly figure out a new setting for her breathing tube that would give her a little more comfort, and they do have multiple options that they haven’t tried yet, because she’s not at the worst of the worst by any means... but as I write that and know it in my brain... my heart refuses to get on board, and watching her little chest work so hard hurts me so much! I was obsessing over her heart rate going up, and was feeling like I needed to be watching the monitor as if my eyeballs being on it could will the numbers to change. It was a really amazing feeling when I got to cuddle with her again, and I saw her heart rate return to a lower number for quite awhile. I felt like I had super mommy powers to calm her down for a bit!🥰
This song was in my head while I was watching the nurses figure out what route they wanted to take with Annelise’s lungs today... the part of the song that goes “Jesus bends to hear you breathe
And His tender hands are holding you tonight
And His heart is ravished when you look, when you look at Him
And oh, the endless mercy in His eyes”
I felt like the Lord was singing it to her, as well as to me, reminding me to look to Him for His plan for Annelise’s life. I need to cuddle up to God and let His super powers calm me down too!
