Paige...

Well after three chest tubes and fluid still draining surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning at 7:30 am to hopefully fix the problem. I will update after I get the correct terminology of what they will be doing in the surgery. She is doing good. We play and play all day together. Today we went on a long wagon ride, stopped to talk to all our neighbors (we have great friends here), watched a little Baby Einstein, sang songs, played peek a boo and I left for awhile to do a little birthday shopping for Amberly's 5th birthday tomorrow and enjoyed a yummy salad from Paradise Bakery.

Surgery is to repair right pulmonary veins for pulmonary vein stenosis (narrowing) and tighten PA Band (Pulmonary Artery).

Sunday morning I enjoyed a great visit from Heidi Skidmore. She has been such a great strength to me as well as Molly Wright. I am truly blessed to have friends who care so much about Paige. They have been here and know how frustrating it can become and know how great it is too just like me! I enjoyed listening to beautiful music from Paul Cardall. Look him up he is a walking miracle. His story is inspiring!

Last night I enjoyed a fun evening with the Shepherd girls. They brought a delicious meal and the tastiest pumpkin cake (the nurses dug right in). We played a game of Phase 10 and had fun visiting and laughing. Emily decided she wanted to have a sleep over at the hospital so we brought in a cot for a slumber party. We watched When in Rome...cute! This morning I ordered breakfast and she got to experience hospital food. It was so funny!

"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."
