Still Strong
Published: by aaronlynch August 4th, 2006Our little Amaya is still holding her own and suprised us with a 12 oz weight gain in just two weeks. She is up to 3lbs 14oz and is strong as always. Our ultrasound today showed the same findings, semilobar hpe, enlarged kidneys, bilateral cleft lip, but her heart still looks great. She would still not give us any pictures of her face, she is so stubborn, always hides her face downwards or sticks her hands right in front of it. We are scheduled for our induction on the 18th, check in at 7:ooam, however at todays appt. found out I was already almost 4cm!!! Tomorrow is Jaden’s birthday so we are praying Amaya waits until at least Saturday. The doctor said it is possible to still make it to the 18th but not to be suprised if she comes earlier. So right after Jaden’t birthday party I will start packing! LOL. Thank you all for your prayers and your love. Please continue to pray for her complete healing and for her growth as well. We have our last ultrasound next Friday and will also meet with the NICU team at that time to discuss Amaya’s care after birth. Please pray for God’s grace and strength as we know they will be asking difficult questions as they explain options and different scenarios. We love you all.
Dear Aaron, Gina and Girls…..
We are with you in heart and spirit, and will continue to lift your family up to our Heavenly Father in prayer. We love little Amaya already, and wait with you to see what God has planned for her life! We are inspired, encouraged and so very proud of the position of faith that you have held through this season in your life, and know that you and this little girl of yours have already touched many lives for Jesus through your story. As the next couple of weeks unfold, we pray that you will be wrapped in peace, led by faith and wisdom, and covered with grace….
We love you….
Brad, Tamara and family
we love you all so much and we will be there for you. See you in the evening of your wonderful birth, Amaya. God Bless you!
Hi Aaron, Gina and Amaya,
Today as I pray for your delivery, I laid my hand on the computer screen to pray for the baby. God showed me that she is a beautiful spirit housed in a body just like ours that may be imperfect but not her spirit. It is the eternal part of her that will live on as we will, with our Jesus. Blessings Amaya for however long God has gifted you with your family. You are His creation and His design and destined for His glory.
May He be near you all in the days to come.
We love you and are praying daily.
Karen and Tom Cook
