My son, Jake, was one of those "cardiac kids" who wasn't supposed to make it. He's 21 now. I understand some of what you have gone through, having been there myself. Know that I have prayed for you and your family and especially little Emma. May God continue to pour out His blessings upon your family and hold you in His Mighty Hand.

A crisis such as yours can break a lot of people, but for you, you have allowed it to bring your relationship with HIm to a whole new level. It's a process, one that never ends, unless we decide to end it because Christ certainly won't. As a mom with a child who has an unpredictable chronic illness, I can SO relate to all of your thoughts and feelings. As Paula said, I'll "stand" with you, too - and, as always, will keep you and yours in my prayers. Heather – What a touching post about your relationship with Christ.

Thank you for sharing your life and being so open and real. I know that through our weakness He will make us strong. We will be praying for you and your family. A young man (17 yrs)from my church just passed away the other day. He had a seizure and passed out. His family and the whole church needs alot of prayer. He was a sweet young man that helped out often with childcare/nursery. So alot of the kids in the church need prayer too. I really appreiate your 'staple' verse. Having done all...STAND. My family and I have had our share of trials. It is a very encouaging word from the Lord. Thank you. I come by your blog via a friend. Thank you for sharing your life and being so open and real.

I lost a 4 year old son to Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart disease. I know the struggle and it can be very difficult on certain days. Just continue to trust in the Lord. There is a line from a song "If you cannot see His hand, trust His heart." and I know that you and your whole family are doing just that. I will include you all in my prayer list. My blog is Midlife Mysteries. No matter the nationality, I realize there are so many commonalities. Above all, we are all sisters in Christ. God bless you!

This was such a touching post and it made me think about my relationship with God. I, too, have yelled at him over something that, reading your situation, was less critical and it was my husband who told me that God was big enough to handle my anger. Since then I've tried to tell him how I feel about things, but I think your post reminded me there's more I can do. Thank you.

The Lord has healed my son Noah and there is no other explanation. He can also heal a mother's heart. He who has begun a good work in Emma will be faithful to complete it. Philippians 1:6.
