Day 6
Published: by aaronlynch August 18th, 2006Sorry it has been so long since our last post. Wednesday night was really rough. Amaya crashed 3 times and the last time it took chest compressions to get her back. They say each time it is getting harder and harder to bring her back. We are continuing to do all of her medical care and are treasuring every moment God gives us with her. We are still praying for a miracle but made the hardest decision of our lives last night, if she crashes again we are just going to hold her and love her. The resuscitation’s are so hard on her and we don’t want to put her through anymore pain. Right now she is doing great, she had a great day and night and we are holding her as much as we can. She is so precious and can’t imagine not having her. She is a true blessing and gift from God. She is on her second round of heart medicine. A repeat echo yesterday showed that the hole was trying to close, so we are praying that this will do it. Her last dose is tomorrow and they will do another echo, please continue to pray.
Our prayers are still flowing for all of you. Be strong - lean on each other, your family and friends, strangers like us and of course our Lord and Saviour. He will hold all of you through this time. Give Amaya Faith a kiss from this Nana too. (
You’ve been in our prays from the day we met. I was hoping for better news but you are right about not wanting to put her through more pain. There is times that it is so hard to watch Ryland go through so much and I wish it was me and not him. Amaya will always be very special little angel no matter what god has planned for her.
Dear Aaron & Gina,
Hallelujah!! I thank God for this little angel.
I will continue to keep Amaya Faith and the rest of the family in my prayers. You guys are such a blessing and a joy!
I love “Ya’ll” SOOO much!
Love Always,
Moriah
P.S.
Those pictures of Amaya are so cute! She is such a sweetie!
What a beautiful daughter you have.
I am part of the McDonald Team and Ryan Oines shared your website with me and told me about your family and your move to Sioux Falls.
You are so right about God’s awesomeness. He created Amaya with His special purpose in mind. She has been such a blessing already because of the way her story is touching the hearts of others. Your faith is also a testimony to those with whom you are coming in contact in the NICU at the hospital.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. A verse I memorized many years ago still plays an important part in my life: Philipians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a great work in you, will continue it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
God’s blessing on you and your family.
In His love,
Barb
We’re praying you enjoy today with Amaya with supernatural peace and joy. Lord, I pray you set your spirit upon Aaron, Gina and their daughters today. Bless them with your gifts of kindness. I ask that you create many memorable bonding moments for them during this time.
In Jesus’ name -
Lord, Only you know what Gina, Aaron and Amaya need right now. Thank you for your provision of love, strength and peace. Fill them each with you grace, mercy and supernatural presence. In all they do and go through now and in the days to come Lord, be glorified. Our hearts are with you today…..
In Jesus
I don’t know if I can write anything worthwhile since I’m crying. You know me, Old Aunt Susan the Cry Baby! Sorry! I just want to say, I love you, I love you and I love you more. You are doing everything so right, and all your decisions have been made using the Lord to guide you. There is a plan and lesson in Amaya’s birth, her strength and her spirit. I’m so glad to have her in our family. I’ll keep praying and know we must all accept what God has planned. Thanking him and you for your precious gift of baby Amaya. Hugs, Kisses and Love, Aunt Susan
Aaron and Gina - You are in our prayers. God’s ways can be more than mysterious… sometimes, they just plain hurt. I’m praying for your strength, and acceptance of God’s will. He has big plans for you all, and already, you’re an inspiration.
May God bless you and your family, and keep you in his everlasting arms.
