Dreary



It's a dreary day inside and out. Alex is sleeping at the moment. Earlier today I walked into the NICU and as I got closer to her bed I heard her crying and it was the sweetest sound - the ventilator was out. It's painful to watch her silent cry when the ventilator is in. She is very hoarse sounding and her little throat is swollen from the ventilator rubbing against it for two days. The nurses tell me she will be fine. Still no signs of infection or bleeding - thank God.

Here are a few photos from today....

Prayers are still flowing from Tulsa to your direction. There are many that you will never hear, but below is one that a good friend at work is saying: "My prayer for
Alex: God, You know the plans you have for Alex. Plans for healing and not hurting and plans for a good future. I just thank You now all things work together for Alex's good in the name of Jesus and that no weapon formed against her or her family would prosper while she dwells here with us. I speak health and healing over her body, mind and spirit and thank You that You have angels encamped around her right now to bring about healing and restoration. I am so thankful that I serve a God would never leave the Diffee family or forsake them since Jesus is their Lord." Love hugs & rainbows

Hope you guys are tucked in away from the rain. The pictures of Hope are precious. PTL for her surgery going well. Know that you are in my prayers and I look forward to give the 3 of you a hug!

Love in Christ,

Alex has some incredibly strong parents and she can take comfort in that. We continue to think about and pray for all of you. TDay&Vee

Thanks for sharing more sweet photos. These next couple of days may be dreary ones weather-wise, but I hope they will be bright and cloudless for you at Children's, as you continue to see your little one recover and grow in God's care. Cast all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you. I am praying for the best possible outcome for her next surgery. Love to you all, Stephanie

I just can't stop thinking of you guys. The pictures are beautiful and so are your words.And all I could think of was this quote that I love "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I love you all so very much and am already in love with her. Stay strong and believe in the strength of yourselves and her little spirit. Your life together will be so beautiful, just like you are. xoxo
