Yesterday was a relaxing, but buzy day. Jen and I went to the hospital by ourselves for the first time in a while. It was so nice to just sit with our daughter and just hug her and talk to her. It was also good that we were alone because a bunch of doctors, nurses, a chaplin and specialist came by in a steady stream to talk to us. That would have been awkward had a bunch of family been there!
Today is going to be even bigger.
We are bringing Isabella in for the first time to say "hi" and "bye" to her little sister. We are all going to dress up and have a "Good-bye Party".
It is going to be a bitter-sweet time. Glad that Isabella can see Anarazell, but knowing that it will be the only time here on earth.
After that we will bring Bella home for a nap...rest ourselves for a while, and then go back in with our friends that came last Thursday when we found out that Anarazell wasn't going to make it.
(Has it has only been a week since that day?)
So us and our friends will be with her, and they will all get to say good-bye.
I will try to post some pictures of the party when we get home tonight.
We'll see how I am feeling.
I know I will be on here tonight, but we'll see what the conversation is about...

What a difficult day for you. Just wanted to let you know that you are ever present on my mind today. Many hugs and prayers for you all.

I am praying for your family. I am so glad that you have the Holy Spirit to sustain you, because this would be so insurmountable without Him. Thank you for sharing you pain... One of the amazing things about the body of Christ is the mutliplication of joys, and the division of sorrows... and though we have never met, I hope that I am able to share the burden in some small way.
My God Bless you at your goodbye party today...

May you find peace in the arms of the Lord through this harsh time. I am here for you both.
It was good to see you all yesterday. I feel so priveleged to have been able to hold her. How special that she'll get to be in the Lord's arms soon.
Take care you guys!
