So Blessed

wow.... I really have no words. I am absolutely blown away with all the support Sheridan, Deklyn and I have received. From complete strangers contacting me to let me know they are praying for us, people making us meals, people helping us out by giving us some money or gift cards, a bake sale to raise money for us and a friend of ours who bakes cakes & cupcakes helping us raise money by baking cupcakes for people and donating 100% of the proceeds to us... I honestly can not say how blessed I feel. It has been very hard for me to accept all this help from everyone, but I know we need it. and I have to keep reminding myself people wouldn't do these kinds of things unless they really wanted too, but I still find it hard. To all of you who have done absolutely anything in anyway to help us, please know that we are extremely grateful... this journey would be a whole lot harder with out you. All the prayers, encouraging words, meals, gifts.. all of it means so very much to us!

I really don't have a whole lot to update on here with Deklyn. He is really doing so well! Things obviously aren't perfect but we are so very blessed. Everyday we see another reason why... for example just a little while ago someone that is staying at the same place as us came and told us they had lost their baby, I could not believe I had ever felt sorry for myself. There has not been one moment since Deklyns birth that we have even been close to losing him. We've got to see a few families go home as their babies have become well enough to and I just could not be happier for those families, of course I wish it was me at the same time but I know that will come and I need to remind myself that right now this is where Deklyn needs to be! I see mom's holding there babies and it makes me so happy for them that they are able to do that, and also makes me all the more excited for when that time will come for me. We are so blessed by Deklyn, I really think he has made me a better person.

I feel so lucky that I have been chosen to be his mom. I know we are not in for the easiest of times, but I know these little moments like holding him and being able to dress him and give him a bath, I am going to cherish them so much more when I get to do them! Thanks again to all of you for your support, prayers and love! I can not say enough how much it means to us!I have been able to get in touch with some other parents with children with Hypophosphatasia (HPP) and it has been so encouraging. We are actually going to be meeting one of the families this week so I am just so excited to see their little guy and hear their experiences!

I always sang the song healer to Deklyn when I was pregnant with him, and sang it to him yesterday when he was little bit fussy and he calmed down right away. I just love the words..
"You hold my every moment. You calm my raging sea's. You walk with me through fire and heal all my disease. I trust in you, I trust in you. I believe that your my healer, I believe that you are all I need. I believe that your my portion, I believe your more than enough for me. Jesus your all I need."
