please pray for my daughter

Early Morning
Late Night

Our amazing little girl Riley Grace continues her fight to heal a tiny heart and lungs. Early this morning she went back on oxygen after a rough night of rapid little breaths. Her struggle to suck in air has exhausted her. Oxygen helped but not enough so by 10am Riley was hooked up to a c-pap machine, which provides positive pressure airflow through her amazingly cute little nose. Morning consult with the docs revealed a few new items of concern. Number one besides the lungs is her heart. There is a murmur being caused by an open duct in her heart which allows extra blood to flow into her lungs. We have started her on medication to help speed the closing of that duct. She is a tough little peanut and we just know that she is going to be feeling much better very soon.

Thank you for your prayers. Thank you to our small group that met tonight to pray for us. We are humbled and blessed by you guys - thank you. Thank you to the St. Charles Church in Boardman, Ohio for your prayers.

We know that God does hear our prayer and ask you to consider praying for the following:

• That God would heal the broken body of little Riley Grace especially her heart and lungs.
• That God would give guidance and wisdom to the amazing nurses, doctors, technicians, and others that will work on our little girl tomorrow.
• That God would be glorified in the work of his servant Betsy
• That God will equip us to be the best possible parents we can be for Riley Grace

Thank you

a very special day

Sheri held her baby girl today. Little baby Riley Grace finally got what she has been crying for since she was born: the warm embrace of her mommy. No amount of sedative could be as powerful in calming both child and mother.

a big day for little riley grace

Today got off to a great start. Our little Riley Grace Peanut (credit Dr. Z on that) showed remarkable improvement overnight and they continued to reduce her oxygen boost. By 7:30 this morning she was breathing on her own. Praise God for this unexpected great news. This afternoon her breathing tube came out and they unplugged the respirator. Our little girl is breathing on her own. We thank God for the amazing events of the day and for the loving, dedicated, talented professionals that are taking care of our little girl.

the girl is a fighter

Our precious little Riley Grace is the toughest kid I have ever seen. Sleep tight little girl, Mommy and Daddy love you very much.

Pictures of an Unborn Child

This morning we were up early and off to a doctor's office where we saw our baby's face for the first time. Never in my life has Psalm 139 had more meaning.

(v13-14) For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

We love you little girl.

12 Years ago today

12 years ago today I married my best friend, my one true love. It was a non-traditional ceremony along side the Snake River in Jackson Hole, Wyoming... July 4, 1997.

David, with all my heart; I take you to be my husband. I promise to be your best friend, to be faithful, honest and kind. To respect you, to be patient with you, to work together with you o achieve those things that are important to us, to accept you unconditionally and to LOVE you forever.

So much has changed and oh how we have grown...in our Love, our Wisdom, our Faith. But it's comforting to know that some things never change...Hot dogs and fireworks BABY!!!

Happy Anniversary to the LOVE of my life.
