Yowzers

I almost blogged this morning asking all of you to pray that Abby would poop. Seriously. I was that desperate.i just couldn't puy Abby down long enough to so it. She had one of her worst mornings ever today--6 hours of terrible crying because of gas. We assume it's from the iron she is on for her anemia. She also has a slight rash which we will call the doctor about tomorrow. Just when we thought we were good to go! Thankfully Grandma Nieporte is here for a few days to help out. God bless those of you who brought us dinner!!

Thank you for all of your cards, emails and phone calls... We expect this Christmas to be a very special one, especially because we pray that Abby will be on the other side of this.

  1. So did she poop or are you asking for poop prayers??? I guess I'll just throw one up right now and if it has already been taking care maybe God could work on the rash.

  5. Sending hugs, know right now is really stressful and I will be saying prayers for her whole system to get back on track and that the rash will be gone and for her comfort. Praying for you for strength and some precious moments of sleep. You guys are amazing and your faith and resilience through this process are such an inspiration to me! xo C

  6. Dear Folks ...
    Isn't my good friend Lori (Grandma Nieporte) a 'jewel'! I think you are correct about the iron; gas pains are no fun. Maybe the Doc has something safe to help alleviate that???? The rash could be a reaction to a medication. Doc will know. You will come through! You don't even have to ask ... I know, and God knows that our whole life is one continuation of need for prayers. Wish I was close enough to at least bring food. It may be plain Irish style "meat and potatoes" but it fills one up nicely, and left over mashed potatoes make great breakfast patties next day. Much love, Rebecca C.M.
