A Tender Heart

Calvin is our sweet boy, he has such a tender heart and it's adorable to watch him as he grows. Lately he has begun to pray at our meals and at bedtime. It usually involves thanking God for Mommy and Daddy, Asher and Mia, and then several stuffed animal friends. But it really brought tears to my eyes when he started praying for this little boy named Caleb who is in such desperate need for a heart. We have been praying for him as a family for some time now and I'm sure that Calvin does not understand the situation, we've never talked about it or explained it, Calvin has just picked up on the importance of praying for Caleb because we've been doing it so long.

Mia's Story

Mia was born October 12th, 2007. Lisa's water broke early at 34 weeks and she was in the hospital for 2 weeks because she didn't go into labor. During that time, they noticed a blocked intestine in Mia and determined that she should be delivered down at UCLA. So, at 36 weeks, Mia was delivered via C-section (because she was breech). We know that was a God thing because after she was born we found out her heart had not completed closing off the four chambers (an AV Canal) and a stressful delivery might not have been best for her. We also found out she didn't have an anal opening and her right nostril was blocked. Months later we would find out her skull had fused early. All of these things required surgeries. On May 1st, 2008, Mia had surgery on her skull and suffered a stroke during it. The doctors told us she would only "eat, breath, smile and laugh". People from all over had already been praying for Mia, but so many more joined in and she is truly a miracle because she continues to progress far beyond what anyone would have imagined. This is our blog to document that journey of our little girl, thank you for praying and we hope it will encourage you as much as it encourages us. God is good, all the time!
