Day 7

By tonight at 6:33 our Anarazell will be one week old.

I was spending some time with Isabella playing blocks today, and I started gently letting her know that our baby won't be coming home from the hospital. Of course you have the immediate questions.
Why? What's going to happen to her? Where is she going?
I know there are different theologys out there regarding infants and heaven, but I believe what I told my Isabella. That Anarazell will go to be with God, and sit on His lap. And then she won't be sick anymore.
She played a bit with me and asked some more questions, but she took it well...so far.
Jen went out with our friend Julie, the one at the birth, and they went shopping for clothes. Regardless of what happens, we want Isabella to meet Anarazell once on this earth. So the ladies got them matching outfits to wear together. They bought some other fun stuff, and I guess that we are starting to plan a good-bye party.

I am begging God that HE takes her home before I have to make a descision. I can't do that...I can't sit with my wife and hold my baby as she leaves.
Oh, God please...

Dear ones,

We're pleading with our gracious LORD along with you - in tears yet confident in Him who is our life, our strength, and our hope!

We love you -- more importantly, of course, is that HE loves you and is grieving with you!

Father,

We KNOW you are merciful. Please don;t have Justin and Jen make this difficult decision. Please have mercy on them as this is so wearisome and heart wrenching. I pray that in the midst of all this pain and suffering that you would grant them these simple request of not having to decided and please alloe Isabella the change to see Anarazell before you take her home.

In Jesus name I pray...

Justin and Jen, you have my wife and my phone number and email addresses. Please call us if you need anything.....let us be here for you.
