Evangeline is our fifth blessing from the Lord. She was born in January 2008 with an undiagnosed Congenital Heart Defect; Transposition of the Great Arteries. At 10 days old, she presented with respiratory distress. In the ER she crashed and a team of a dozen doctors worked through the night to revive her tiny body as it went into shock. After diagnosing her broken heart, she was Life Flighted to MUSC in Charleston for open heart surgery. She has since battled Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Lung Disease, severe reflux, Failure to Thrive and auto-immune disorders.
Her name means "Peace", though her short life has been anything but! We sense that God is teaching us "peace in the storm" through her little life! She is our precious miracle and a testimony to the power of prayer and Gods gracious healing. This is the journal of her life and those who love her.
Thats right! You did live in Ukraine. You have to tell me all about it. Some days I'm super scared, and others so excited! I believe she is in Cerkasy. They spelled is Cherkassy on her paperwork, but I couldn't find that, and Cerkasy was the closest thing. Its not to far from Kiev, just south. The only thing I worry about is we will be the first to adopt from this region. I really don't want to be the guinea pig, I want to know what to expect from the judge!
