Our tender mercy

Right now we are just waiting for the doctors to finish Kyson's heart cath and I just wanted to let you know about a little miracle we were given today. For anyone who knows Kyson or has been around Kyson very much you probably know that he does NOT tolerate being hungry very well. If he hasn't eaten in 3 hours he is screaming and very unhappy. Well, I have been dreading this day for a very long time knowing that he would have to go 6 hours without eating before his procedure. He usually eats about every 2 1/2 hours so I just knew we would have a screaming baby for 3 1/2 hours. Well, three hours went by and we still had a smiling baby. Another hour went by and we were on our way to the hospital with still a happy baby. At the hospital he was still happy as I walked around with him while we waited for the doctors to call us back. Dr. Lamers came out (the doctor performing the procedure) and he looked at Kyson and he gave him the biggest smile! Dr. Lamers even said, "Wow, he sure is a happy baby for not having any breakfast!" It was so true. I am so grateful for this tender mercy in our lives because it reminded me that the Lord is watching out for us and he does answer our prayers!

It is amazing how the Lord watches out for us. Kyson (and you and the doctor...) have been in my thoughts and prayers all morning. Let me know how it went when you get a chance. I'm still planning on dinner for tonight. Love ya!

Hey! I just wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you! Last night I was able to go to the temple and put Kyson and your names on the prayer roll. I am so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord. I hope that he is still doing well. I love you!

OH, that little love! Kiss him for me. I do wish I could hold him.

That story gave me tears in my eyes. I could feel your pain as I began reading that you would have to make him go without food for that long. I know my children wouldn't be able to handle that and they're older and I would be so anxious about it.

You truly are an inspiration, Andrea. I can see your little family is going through so much right now, but you remain strong and faithful through it all.

Thanks for sharing your miracle. A little blessing to get you through until the next trial. Your little boys are so cute. We think of you often.
