A great day...

I got to the hospital this morning and Paige looks fabulous! This is the BEST she has looked for weeks! Tomorrow is surgery and I just can't believe it! I just saw her chest x-ray from this morning and it looks better than it ever has and the fluid has stopped draining. Dr. Cleveland is coming in between 1-1:30 to discuss.

I know I have never mentioned my new forever friend Yolanda who cleans Paige's room everyday! I love her so much! She is amazing! I love to see her and visit with her. She says she loves to practice speaking English to me...she does a fabulous job. She has shared so many sad and happy stories with me about her family! Each day I tell her how much I love her and how grateful I am for her hard work and she starts to cry every time. She deserves something special because SHE IS SPECIAL! It is great to be back here...thought I would never say that! I just can't wait to hear what the Doc has to say! I am going to feed Paige now!

"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."
