A POEM FOR MORIAH
He will rest in His love.....zeph 3:17
Isn't she beautiful!.I am lifting Moriah up to the throne of God. I stand in agreement with you in prayer and by the promises and authority of the scriptures, in the name of JESUS, and by the same fire and glory of the Holy Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead. His will be done!In Jesus' name,Lisa
UPDATE: MONDAY, 7-31 Praise God!! Moriah is 10 lbs. She went from 9lbs.4oz. just last week to10 lbs. I am so overjoyed. We know God is moving in a miraculous way in her life. Lord, we thank You!! We Praise You!! Also her stats are at 100% and her vent will be turned to 4 tomorrow. That is the last number before they start weaning her off to go home. PLEASE PRAY that she will have the strength in her lungs and the stability to be able to come completely off the Trach. We are looking forward to her homecoming with excited anticipation. God has been so Faithful! Also God has answered my prayer about her getting her thumb in her mouth. She was putting her whole hand up there and putting it in her mouth. Last week when I was there, she was really focusing on her hand and over and over she was practicing getting her thumb up there. I saw her put it in once and said Lord, please help her. Cheryl says now she is putting her thumb in her mouth over and over, then looking at it like it's her new best friend. She is so happy with it. Thank You Father. Cheryl said that the nurse noticed Moriah trying to flip over so she decided to put her on her matt on the floor with a blanket and said Moriah went to town, scooting herself all around with her hips. Cheryl said she put her on the matt last night to see what she was talking about and said she was all over that matt. I love it! She is changing so much. She really looks beautiful and she is getting all new hair too. We are working on getting some more pictures on the site so please watch for them. There should be a few more updates this week, as the appointment with the doctor for them to discuss Moriah's plan for going home will be Thursday. Let's all join with them in a mighty way as the time gets close. Thank You for your prayers. Thank You Lord!
UPDATE: FRIDAY, 8-4 I talked to Cheryl yesterday after they visited with Moriah's doctor, and this is their plan for Moriah in preparing her to go home. Praise God! It will take a little bit, but thank God they are addressing all of her needs. PLEASE PRAY for continued guidance and wisdom for all of her doctors and care-givers, through the Loving heart, mind, and hands of Christ. Next Tuesday, they will be taking Moriah off of any oxygen to the Trach for 30 minutes at which time they will be placing a heat collar on her that will provide moisture, and filter the air. If she does good with this (and we know through God's Word that she will) then they will be taking her off for another 30 minutes later in the day. As she continues to get used to this they will be increasing the times until they can get her off completely. Praise God! Her doctor says that he is pleased with the way she has progressed and said that he felt she would not fail coming off the Trach, describing her as "robust." LOL I told Cheryl she takes after her Mama, pressing forward to what's ahead. Her stats have stayed at 100% and in 3-4 weeks they will be doing a study where they will be checking for any scar tissue or granular effects left from the very beginning of her being on the vent. If they detect anything, it would have to be removed with laser. PLEASE PRAY for NO scar tissue. Also, the doctor was surprised to learn that she has been sucking on those green spongy peppermint "things" (if you've ever been in the hospital you will know what I'm talking about). The bottom line for this is that they are feeling like it's time to start giving her something to eat. In order to do this, they will have to do a swallow study to actually see where the food goes when she does eat and that she would not aspirate. PLEASE PRAY that she will be able to increase her sucking and be able to swallow correctly without aspiration. It is the desire of my heart for her to get some real food. When I see her sucking on the green sponge, my heart cries out for this need to be met and I KNOW God is ABLE to meet ALL her needs. Moriah is getting more mobile and the nurses think she is trying to flip over. It is such a joy to see her growth. PLEASE PRAY that her growth in ALL areas continues, and that she is able to sustain her breathing and continued progress through all that is ahead. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. As I type this, my heart goes out to each and every one of you that ARE part of her miracle life. I know the body of Christ joining together and calling out to Our Father in Heaven must bless His Heart, because He longs for that fellowship with us and He is being SO FAITHFUL to us. Thank you from all of us to our family in Christ. Thank You Abba Father!
UPDATE: TUESDAY, 8-8 Praise God, Praise God, Praise God!! Moriah was taken off the vent today for 40 minutes this morning and she did so well she slept through it. Cheryl said that is really good because sometimes they get used to the vent so that is when they would have trouble and "forget to breathe," but she did perfect. Her stats stayed right around 100% also.They were going to take her off again at 4 p.m. and I have not talked to her again since then. They also started her back on formula and she has tolerated that just fine, so they will be increasing that and the time off the vent. This is the first step in getting her ready to come home. Thank You All SO MUCH for your prayers during her little 'bout of not being able to keep her formula down. They were checking for a bowel obstruction, or thought that the tubing had adhered to her colon, but Cheryl said around noon on Sunday her condition completely turned around like night and day. All they found on the x-ray was some acid reflux, even though earlier they had seen bile in her tubing. PRAYER WORKS! Let's continue to pray for her growth and continued strength of her lungs so she can go home to be with her family. She really enjoyed visiting with Elizabeth (Heartseeker) but I really couldn't tell you who enjoyed it more. LOL... It was really beautiful to see Elizabeth get to hold this precious little miracle and tell her all kinds of stories. But my favorite was the lullaby's that she sang to her. I was ready to crawl up on her lap..LOL Thank You Elizabeth for loving these kids with all your heart. Thank you all for your prayers. Thank You Precious Jesus! Lots of new pictures to post. Should be up in a couple of days. Please come back and see her whole story with pictures. Heartseeker 8-8 MORE GREAT NEWS!!!
Beautiful 10 lbs. 2 ozs. of Miracle (The best is yet to come, Praise God!)
I just talked to Cheryl and she said the doctor came up to see Moriah, saw her chewing and sucking on her thumb and decided she was ready for food!! Cheryl got to fed her applesauce today for the first time!! She will get to be fed 3 times a day and also Cheryl just called and said that they told her she can start introducing Moriah to the bottle tomorrow. This Is SO GOOD..Answer to prayers! Cheryl described her reaction to the applesause as something simiiar to "Shark Attack"....LOL She loved it. :) I am so happy! Praise God!! Also she was off the vent again this afternoon for 1/2 hour. She did great and her stats stayed perfect. One thing that I forgot to add earlier is that Moriah really flipped for Elizabeth..LOL..literally, she knew that she was on one side of her bed and she worked her leg and arm over a few times until she flipped right over facing Elizabeth. It is so awesome to see her changing and doing these things daily and the doctors gave her no hope when she was born...Thank God, there's Hope In Jesus and He will never give up. Thank You Lord!! We love You!!!
Moriah Found Her Thumb!!!! Praise God!!!!
