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.
Just ready the last post, Mandy...side splitting from laughing! ~but also commissurating as a mom! Wow...those moments are tough, but such everyday occurances and just life! You handled it well. As an old mom to a young one...good job!!
I don't want to sound greedy, but we sure could you these. With Addy coming 5 weeks early I didn't have a chance to buy her clothes. Now we just have a few things.
