A Mother's Love

Yesterday was a good, calm day. Being able to rest my mind was an incredible blessing while Magdalena rested all day. She was tired from the day before, which kept her sleeping most of the day, but a few times in the day she would keep her eyes wide open for about an hour. It was sweet as though she were talking with me. Her little mannerisms let me know her better like poking her lips out at me or giving me a little sligh grin. I did not bottle feed her all day in hopes of preserving any little bit of energy she should have. Still at the end of the day Magdalena only had her heart rate drop once in the day, and it was still a little episode. She is just SO beautiful, and I love her so much!

I am hoping to add more to this later, but I did want to share Magdalena's good day....and possibly more pictures!

    I'm so happy that you have these moments, Julie. Life is fleeting, for all of us; we just pretend it isn't. Only in Christ can we really be "healthy". I love you guys and continue to pray for you. With Love, Kristin

    We have continued to pray daily and several times throughout the day for y'all. I'm so thankful for your sweet moments with Magdalena. What a blessing she has been to all of us as God uses her to challenge us to consider each moment that we live and breath and enjoy with our loved ones, friends, coworkers, etc. as a miracle, and one that is soveriegnly administered by the Father. Praise be to God. And thank you again for sharing Magdalena, and yourselves, with us.

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
