Great Mother's Day

new pics of big kids and Macy on right

Today has been a great day. It started with Keaton, Kayden, Laney, and I worshiping with our church family. Talk about an awesome time of connecting with God. Every word of each worship song spoke right to my heart and filled me up. I knew that being back at my home church would be what I needed, but didn't realize how much hope it would give me. Feeling the love and support of everyone in that room was overwhelming. I was reminded as God spoke to me through His words from Pastor Bruce of what a mighty God we serve.

He does save. He does bring freedom. He is in every breath my girls breathe. He is with us in our valleys and with us on our mountaintops.

Macy's surgery went great. She is breathing on her own! She is a trooper and not even needing ANY pain meds right now. Surgery Recovery is over and now we are just getting stronger here in our PICU room. She has had visitors holding and loving on her and being with her is such a blessing to us.

Her brother Kayden especially worries about when it is his turn to hold her again and is shaping up to be quite the little baby nurse!

Keaton wants to know all about her numbers, her scars, her anatomy. We are in the process of convincing him to be a pediatric cardiologist.
Laney is just excited to be with the baby. She introduces her to the visitors as, "Here is my sister. Isn't she SOOOO cute."

Still awaiting Gaby's heart cath tomorrow afternoon and look forward to hearing the results of that and progressing toward bringing her closer to home.

We have faith that each of our children feels the love of their Heavenly Father every minute of the day and that He fills their spirits with strength and peace as He continues to do for ours.

Thank you for all your prayers and concern for our family. It is humbling and exciting to be living the plan God has for the Browns.
