Wagon ride
Last night, Abby felt well enough to take a wagon ride down the hospital hallway. She seemed to enjoy the change in scenery. Here’s a video of our brave little girl!
Great news
Praise the Lord, the cardiologist met with Natalie this afternoon and said that Abigail’s heart is PERFECTLY NORMAL.
The color change in her skin is apparently just a phenomenon that some kids have. But her heart looks great, all tests came back negative, and oxygen level is very stable.
The echocardiogram did reveal a tiny hole in her heart, but about 20% of all people have this, and it is no cause for concern. It is not causing any vascular problems.
We could not be more thankful and relieved. Thanks for all your prayers!!
Be still my soul
Heard a peaceful instrumental version of this song playing on the radio last night. It was a good reminder as Abigail undergoes testing at the hospital for a possible heart condition…
Be still, my soul—the Lord is on thy side!
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to thy God to order and provide—
In ev’ry change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul—thy best, thy heav’nly Friend
thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul—thy God doth undertake
to guide the future as He has the past;
thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake—
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul—the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,
Then shalt thou better know his love, his heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
From his own fullness all he takes away.
Be still, my soul: the hour is hast’ning on
When we shall be for ever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Amazing catch
Now this is an amazing catch.
June 28, 2011 Update: So, my brother-in-law just informed me this was a hoax. According to Snopes, the whole thing was staged. That’s too bad. I guess you can’t trust anything online anymore – even a video! I feel a little betrayed. A video goes viral because of an absolutely amazing catch and the near concussion of a reporter. But in reality, the whole thing is manufactured and digitized. If we had known this all along, I guarantee the video wouldn’t have been such a hit. What’s the point? I don’t get it. At this moment, it makes me NOT want to buy Gillette! Sigh.
