C-Section tomorrow!!

Well, the time has finally arrived to welcome Liam to the world! Thank you so much for all the prayers! It's hard to believe that around 19 weeks ago we launched this blog and we have now had over 6000 hits. You can't imagine how grateful we are that we have so many people posting to us, e-mailing, calling, sending cards, and (most of all) praying for us!

Our family has survived the "limbo" time better than any of us ever expected. As counselors, both Bill and I know that the time before you find out exactly what you are dealing with is often the hardest time of all. At least after Liam has arrived, we will be working on a treatment plan with his cardiology team and the hospital.

We will update the blog as soon as we can tomorrow. We're hoping to update it once after he is born and another time after we get the echo results, which we are hoping to have back by tomorrow evening. However, we found out that Wifi access in the area where Lisa will be is spotty at best. Therefore, if the blog isn't updated until tomorrow night, don't assume the worst. It most likely means that we are simply experiencing technical difficulties (or that Lisa is drugged out of her mind on pain meds and Bill is busy bonding with his son in the NICU).

No matter what the future holds, we are confident that God will be glorified through Liam's life. Keep those prayers coming!!

In Christ,
Bill and Lisa

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Selah. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah.

Psalm 46:1-7

This week's prayer requests:

1. PRAISE that we are having Liam at a time in medicine when so much is known about how to treat his problems.
2. For strength, guidance, and wisdom as we face treatment choices and decisions.
3. For God to guide the hands and minds of the docs and treatment teams working with Lisa and Liam this week.
4. For the strength to let this child go home to God if it becomes obvious that this is God’s answer to our prayers.
