Update on Paige

Paige getting her medicine. She is really excited about it too!

Well on Thursday we had a family meeting and we set some goals so that we can get our cute little Paige home. What it came down to is Paige needing to eat more! She needs to be consistently eating and gaining weight for at three day. This morning she had gained weight and tolerated all her feeds through the night. Yeah! Other than that she is doing great! We are not looking forward to having her go back so soon for her gut surgery which is scheduled for February 25th! We are just thrilled to have her come home sometime healthy and as strong as she can be! Oh and we got to take the NG tube out on Tuesday. She is taking her medicine by mouth and drinking her bottle so out went the tube! WOO HOO!

On the down side of things Keith got food poisoning last night and is sicker than a dog! He is not doing well! Pray for him to have the strength and energy come back soon! He has been such a great strength to me through this whole thing. He is an awesome man and I LOVE HIM! I am sad he is sick! Not fun!

"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, "For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand." (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson

President John Taylor once said: "that the best explanation he could offer why so many little children among the Saints were called away, notwithstanding the great faith and power of the priesthood exercised to keep them here, was that they were bright and noble spirits who held important positions in the kingdom of God in the spirit world, from which they could not long be spared., They were given brief furloughs, long enough to come to earth, take upon themselves bodies of flesh and bone that they might be prepared for a resurrection to a kingdom of glory; and after a short experience in mortality were called back to resume important labors in a higher sphere."

Joseph F. Smith said:"Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid away in death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: ' You will have the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child, after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit.' There is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the resurrection from death. I love this truth. It speaks volume of happiness, of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these principles to us."
