Here are a few more pics of our girl and we wanted to give another quick update
We don't know who she looks like - we think maybe Scott with my coloring!We got a good update today. Luckily I didn't know this until later today - but our nurse told my parents that she went home last night worried Harper wouldn't make it through the night. She's given us very grim updates but today she actually smiled (she's a really nice nurse - just serious) and said she was doing much better. Her heart rate has gone down and her blood pressure has gone up - two HUGE praises! They are worried about her heart but they can't look at it until she is off the lung machines. So we are praying her heart is fine. I woke up this morning just feeling sick and Scott and I cried and pleaded with God to save our baby and tonight we are leaving the hospital feeling so hopeful. We feel SO covered in prayer. Our pastor called us several times today and prayed with us and we know our church has been praying for us as well as all of you!
We had a lot of visitors today again. One of them was this sweet 14 year old girl MacKenzie and her mom. MacKenzie reads my blog and wanted to come and give Harper this precious pearl bracelet. What a sweet blessing!
Laurie and Steve came today and brought us so many blessings from our Sunday School class. It meant so much to have them here. My brother and sister-in-law just got here from Dallas and we were so happy to see them.Thank you again for your prayers - they are working!!!!!!! We have no doubt that Harper is a direct result of God hearing prayers! I am very limited to computer use so I am sorry again for not responding to so many of you - just know you have blessed us incredibly!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 655 Newer› Newest»You are a complete stranger to me but my heart aches for you and your family!!! Reading all of your updates makes me feel almost guilty for having a healthy baby 4 months ago... I hope you don't mind but I post a prayer request for you on my blog (http://therussocorner.blogspot.com) We are praying for your precious baby and YOU! God has a plan...sometimes it is hard to b elieve it... BTW you looked awesome during your delivery! i looked like a truck hit me!
Kelly and Scott that is such great news!! We continue to lift Harper us into His hands. We know he will heal her so that she can go home soon.
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Still praying for Harper and you all. You look great and Harper is beautiful.
Praying so for your precious little one!
Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

She is so beautiful! Tubes and all, she is clearly gorgeous :) I prayed for Harper at Mass today; glad to hear she is doing better. Keep fighting, baby girl!
I, too, am glad I didn't know the nurses dire thoughts last night. I have been pretty consumed with thoughts and prayers for Harper and Brayden. SO glad that both babies are proving their amazing strength. And really happy you are able to touch her!! That's powerful!
Please don't apologize for the limited posts and internet access. Yes, we are all excited to hear the latest news. But let the proud Granddad or other friends and family keep us up to date if you need to spend the extra time with Harper, Scott or just taking time for yourself.
She is just beautiful! You and your family are in our prayers! Found your blog link thru another. God is good!
I feel it inside...Harper is doing better.
Don't worry about writing, we all understand. But I imagine it makes you feel good inside, to let us all have an update.
We will continue to pray.
Kathy :)
p.s. you look sooo good for just having a baby!!!! Just take good care of yourself. Harper will need a strong healthy mommy!!
I am praying for Harper and your family! May God bless Harper and all of you!
Thoughts of hope and love are with you and your beautiful baby girl. Your blog is amazing, the fact you can come and update everyone just a little is amazing. Harper is a precious gift and I hope so very much she is home with you soon. Your love shines through each and every word and Harper's pictures are so lovely to share. God Bless you all.
Harper is absolutely beautiful. She is such a trooper and I know she'll be in your arms soon enough.
With love and prayers,
Alice
That is great news! Your little Angel is being watched over.
She's a beauty, and what a fighter! I love the big chunker babies (my daughter was 9lbs 3oz when she was born 6.5 years ago). Many well wishes to Harper as she recovers. I can't begin to imagine how hard this must be on all of you. I hope the time passes quickly and you can have Harper at home and in your arms where she belongs. BIG HUGS
She is such a cutie pie! I found your blog through one of my friends asking for a prayer. I've been thinking about you all since I heard about Harper. I am so glad to hear you had a good update! I hope you continue to get them every day until it is time to bring her home :)
Just found your blog and am praying for your sweet baby girl.
Oh Kelly! She is the most beautiful little girl - and she is covered in prayers and so much love. Thinking about and praying for you all the time. Just take one step at a time ...
Scott and Kelly,
Your Harper is just precious!
Please know that me and my church family continue to keep you and your families in our prayers here in Bucharest... God bless and keep you all...
The Bliznik Family
kelly & scott -
harper is beautiful! i can't sleep tonight for praying for you and your sweet girl. there are LOTS of prayers (and tears!) for you in texas! we're praying for God to put His healing hand on sweet harper's heart. and we're praying this verse too:
Psalm 121
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
lots and LOTS of love from texas!
jill, derrell & sophie
I just came across your blog this weekend!!! You all have been on my mind and in my prayers since.
She is so beautiful and I am still praying!!!
Kelly:
I have been praying for Harper, Scott and you and will continue to do so. I heard about Harper through MckMama. I am also praying for Brayden, Jenna and Chris.
It is awesome to watch God at work as he heals these babies and provides comfort to their families! I love seeing how God uses these challenges to bring glory to Himself and bring non-believers and those who falter closer to Him.
What a wonderful, powerful, loving God we serve!
She is so beautiful. We pray for her everyday.
God bless you.
Wibeche
Joining in prayer. God is all mighty and loving. Take heart.
Kelly,
I have been "lurking" on your blog for some time, and never left a comment. I just want you to know that the Lord woke me up and has kept me up to pray for your sweet girl. I am pleading with Him for her full recovery, and asking for your continued peace. I cannot wait to read that she is off of the machines, and you are holding her in your arms. Till then, may He hold you and her in His. ~Heather
Our God is an Awesome God and I am continuing to pray that he rains down healing power and love upon Harper! I praise Him for all He has done so far! May you continue to feel His presence in tangible ways and see His healing hands touch your precious Harper.
Blessings,
Denise
God help you in this dificult hour. One day you will remember it as past and everything will be ok.
May Our Lady go near your baby and give her a kiss and everything will be all right.
Praying!!
Hi Kelly,
I just wanted to tell you today was the first day I have read your blog. Today I just celebrated my daughters 17th Bday. When she was 13 she had to undergo an emergency heart transplant. She was born healthy and never had any medical problems. She has a rare disease called Giant Cell Myocarditis. She was life flighted to Louisville and on the ride over she flatlined 3 times! She was in a drug induced coma for 7 days. 7 days I did not know if she would live or die. But God knew. She is truly a miracle and even to this day people say that she won't live for very long. I tell them that only God determines that. It has been almost 4 years since the transplant. God does answer prayers and God does perform miracles. Hold onto your faith. He will give you hope everyday and it will be a beautiful journey. God Bless you and your family and I will pray for you every day.
All those wires bring so many memories back. Kelly, I don't know about your NICU, but in ours, each infant had a primary nurse assigned to them each shift. I want you to know that if there are ever 'nurse issues', do not hesitate to ask for a different one. My daughter and son in law did have to request that one particular nurse not be assigned to any of the boys. Rest sweet Kelly. Rest when you can and get strong. Harper is beautiful.
She is Beautfil and still preying for Harper
Great news! Harper is beautiful!
Kelly,
Harper is just so beautiful!!! We are continuing to pray. Thank you for the updates.
Much love and Blessings to you dear one,
Dawn
I couldn't lay her at the cross, so I lifted her to His throne room just like I did my own grand daughter when she was diagnosed with a genetic abnormality. God is so good and He loves her even more than we can imagine. He will give you peace and strength just rest in Him.
Praying!
Harper is just beautiful! Sending you prayers from Brisbane, Australia.
What a gorgeous little girl! I participated in your bloggy baby shower & have been lurking ever since. You, Harper & your family are indeed in my prayers. No mother should have to go through what you are. *hugs*
She IS big! She is a gorgeous punkin'! I am still praying for all of you.
Blessings...
P.S.: In the photo with your blogging friend Caroline, I swear she's been watching Big Mama's scarf tying video! :)
Beautiful baby girl! I am praying for her and you both. God Bless.
I loved the comment about singing songs about Jesus. The one that comes to mind this morning for Harper is "Jesus Loves Me. Little ones to Him belong, they are weak be He is strong."
Our God is an awesome God! He will provide!
Praying for you and Harper!!!!!!!!
-Kara
Praying for you and your family!
Please be assured that there are many in Charleston, SC, praying for baby Harper and for all of you. Our Sunday School classes at our church lifted you to our Lord yesterday. Thank you for keeping us updated during these difficult days. We pray that little Harper will soon be home in her beautiful room with her Mom and Dad.
We're going to keep praying until Harper is home with you and Scott where she belongs! Thanks for another update, Kelly! Harper is beautiful and so blessed to have you and Scott for parents.
Oh Kelly..that sweet little nose and the way she is holding that little hand is just precious! She is such a gift! I know you totally get that, but she is just precious!
We are still praying, and anticipating God's hand today. I'm so thankful that your Christian family is showering you with the Love of Jesus. Do you know what a blessing it is for us to be praying for you and Scott and Harper?(and those grandparents too!) It is...thank you for letting us do this for you...
Do NOT apologize for not checking e-mail, or updating more...God is bring you all to mind and we are praying....you just rest and get your strength back..Harper is going to need you healthy and strong! Those all nighters can wear you out!
Much love, and a whole lot of prayer..
stephanie
Know that Montgomery, Alabama is praying for you and her! Prayers are the most sustainable thing in this world!
Still praying for this precious little girl. She's beautiful. I know it must be hard to see her with tubes, etc. Thank you for the update, I'll keep praying for all of you.
Your daughter is beautiful!!! You look really good yourself. Know that I'm still praying for you, Harper and Scott. I will wake up in the middle of the night to feed my 6 month old and pray for Harper the entire time. Keep your eyes on the Lord and your hope in Him.
Much love,
Elyse
Kelly and Scott,
Harper is BEAUTIFUL!!! I know you cannot wait to hold her in your arms. Thank you so much for keeping us updated. Praise God that He hears our prayers and answers them! I will continue to pray for your sweet family.

Harper is precious. Our Lord is watching over her. I haven't stopped praying for her and you and your family. I know God hears our prayers. He will take care of her.
Praising the Lord in advance for the complete healing He is going to do! Praying everyday for your sweet baby girl! What a beautiful child of God she is. Remember that "When we are weak, He is strong".
I heard about Harper through "2 Jayhawks waiting for a baby." I just wanted to let you know that I am praying too.
Kelly Im sending prayers from Virginia (go Hokies, LOL). Your little (?9+lbs!) Harper is just adorable, I Know she will pull through. God wouldnt put all of you through this if he didnt think you could handle it. It shows you have great strenght of faith and trust with god. Blessing to you and your family.
I will Send Harper a VA Tech outfit when she gets from the hospital soon!!
PRAISE GOD, the Ultimate Healer! We are rejoicing with you for the all the miracles along the way. We will not stop praying.
Continuing prayers for Harper!
Our God is still a God of miracles. Our daughter was born with a major heart defect- AV Canal along with about 17 other issues. She has had two open heart surgeries and 13 other surgeries. In her two years she has lived almost 1/3 of her life in a hospital room.
There is no logical reason why my daughter is still alive. She is a living miracle and I BELIEVE that Harper is too!!!
I am praying and thinking of the entire family!

Kelly, praying for you is all I can really say!!! We lost our daughter last year and I am so burdened and compassionate about praying for babies and their families now that are in the shoes where we've been. I am a PK as well, and we had the support of our church family and many people came to Nashville, where we had to stay for several months, that we had never even met. I say all that because when I read your profile and blog for the first time last week, I so could feel your pain and thought how much I could relate to you. It won't be easy, you're right, but you DO have a God on your side bigger than any heart problem! You know He is the great healer, and that is what we will pray over Harper....a great healing. I read your dad's blog as well...you have a wonderful family. May God Bless you all. I know you're real busy, but if you ever want to stop by my blog, it's www.savannahandtorismommy.blogspot.com and www.caringbridge.org/visit/victoriawilhoit
In His Love,
Melissa Wilhoit
She is just beautiful! You have all been in my prayers since she was born, and I know with so many praying for Harper, God will work miracles with her and for her. I pray that you wake up to wonderful news this morning. God bless you all.
Kelly, she's wonderful! Look at those tee tiny toes! Since Friday night, my heart and mind have been consumed with thoughts and prayers for y'all. Thank you so much, Kelly, for letting so many of us be a part of your little lady's life. She is a blessed child! Please know how truly loved y'all are and that prayers of healing (and of PRAISE) are coming all the time!
I have been following your blog for awhile now, and I want you to know that my family has been praying for you and sweet Harper all weekend. We know God is in control and is hearing these prayers. Thanks for the pictures of your beautiful daughter...she's precious!
What a little doll, Kelly! Keep hanging in there...our prayers continue!
She is absolutely beautiful.
praying everyday.
I had a big baby, too! Big babies are great sleepers. You are going to love that about her. :-)
I teach Sunday School to 2 year olds and we prayed for Harper yesterday morning. I hope those little voices praying for your baby was music to God's ears.
Still praying....stay strong!
You are in our thoughts and prayers in SC! We found your blog through friends of friends and you are on our prayer list! Baby Harper is beautiful and strong!
Every little ounce of good news is a blessing. I log on several times throughout the day to check on Harper and to see if there are any updates. My heart goes out to your family & I pray that God continues to send you the comfort and peace you need to get through this difficult time. Harper is such a blessed little girl to have such loving parents who understand that God is the greatest physician. Keep your faith in Him and don't give up! Sending more prayers your way. May to day be filled with many many positive updates!!!!
Still in prayer for your precious girl!
What a beautiful baby girl. We are praying for Harper and I know God is answering our prayers. He is able to exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. God is working right now in ways we cannot imagine.
Blessings,
Amber
I commented yesterday- you don't know me! I found your blog through a friend- anyway- wanted you to know I'm still praying and have friends here in Atlanta that are also praying for your sweet baby. I layed in bed last night and prayed so hard for her, also got up first thing this morning to check and am SO glad to hear the good news that she is improving! She is beautiful! I will continue to pray all day!
Kelli in Atlanta
Kelly, she is beautiful. I will pray for you, Scott and Harper and keep you and your family in my thoughts.
I agree -- I think maybe she looks like Scott. She's a doll, and she is a very-much-prayed-for child of God. We'll continue to lift her (and you) up in our prayers.
Harper is Beautiful! I have been reading your blog for sometime now and I am just heartbroken over all you and Scott have overcome and are now faced with. I know that God has Harper in his arms and what His plans for her are, that is so reassuring at this time! I just wanted to let you know that Harper and your family are in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be!
Courtney

I'll say it again....Harper is absolutely beautiful. She has such beautiful full lips and a cute little nose & those chubby arms & legs....she's just perfect!
You all are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care!
Love,
Valerie (Oklahoma)
I found your blog several days ago, although now I can't remember how. We'll just say it was God, because ultimately it was! Your story has so spoke to me and I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you, your husband and Harper every time I open my laptop (and that is many times a day!!) May God continue to wash you and your family in his mercy, grace and everlasting peace.
We continue to pray for your beautiful family!
We're still praying - I'm so glad to hear that the news today was hopeful! God indeed is good!
I emailed you directly but I wanted you to know Harper has a group of strangers on facebook praying for her, we are mothers and fathers from all over the world coming together to pray for her. The fact that she has brought so many strangers together in such a short time proves she is already doing what she was meant to do, Here is the link to Harpers facebook group, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=49866361174 I hope to see many of your blog followers there with us.

your little girl is just precious - please know you are in my thoughts and prayers . . . .

Standing with you in prayer as you ride the NICU roller coaster
Oh she is just beautiful! We will keep praying and our Sunday School class lifted you all up yesterday and will continue to do so this week. Praise God for he is good!
What a beautiful baby girl! I have no doubt she's the biggest baby in the NICU! 9lbs 12 oz...that's impressive! Will be praying for you guys...heard about you through several other blogs I follow...so you are very prayed for through this time!
I will pray specifically today that her lungs improve so that the doctors can get a good look at her heart.
prayers coming your way from Springfield, MO! What an absolutely beautiful baby girl! And so big! (my daughter was 9 lbs, 11 oz! Hooray for big babies!) Praying for healing over Harper's little body.
Oh Kelly..I am praying. Praying for Harper's healing and quick trip home! She is absolutely beautiful!!!!!
Kelly, your daughter is gorgeous! Some day she will know how many prayers went up for her all over the place and how the Lord provided for her and her faithful family. You and Scott and your entire family are inspirations. Your daughter is, as well, and will continue to be throughout her blessed life.
Kelly ~
Harper is just gorgeous! I'm still praying!!
Keep fighting sweet Harper. Everyone is praying for you!
She is just beautiful.
God is performing a miracle right now. With all the prayers for Harper, I couldn't imagine it being any different.
She will make it through this. She is strong!
I found you thru Kappa Prep....and I've kept you in my prayers. She is such a beautiful girl. We will all continue to push good thought your way!
I just read about your sweet baby through Angie's website and am praying for all of you. Harper is GORGEOUS! We'll be keeping all of your family in our prayers. God bless all of you with comfort, strength, and most of all peace, during this difficult time! God has great plans for all of you! (Jer. 29:11)
Pam L. in Maryland
Praise God for the good news! I will continue to pray for your family.
Harper is beautiful! (ofcourse you know that=])
Isaiah 43:1b "Fear not: for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by name; thou art mine." We know that Harper was formed by the very same hands that shaped the Universe and placed each star in the sky. We also know that God has an awesome plan for her life. We are praying for you here in Alabama =)
We are on our knees praying! Please Lord hear our prayers! Hang in there!
I am so thankful to hear such good news...praise be to our Lord! You are all still on my heart and in my prayers. Harper is just beautiful!
Kelly and Scott-
Your daughter is beautiful. She reminds me of my children. Both of my babies were "big" (over 8 pounds) and I loved it. I just love seeing healthy babies and I am speaking those words over Harper. I praise God that she is a happy and healthy baby. I praise God that one day you will be able to tell others how God healed Harper.
I also praise God that people who do not believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior will be able to read this blog and see that Christians love and pray for each other, not the way so many people in the world see us. Thank you for being a light to so many.
~Amanda
Harper is absolutely beautiful!!! Keeping Harper and your sweet family in my prayers!

What a beautiful baby girl! Just wanted to stop by and let you know we're still praying for you in Pearland, Texas. I came across these song lyrics today, and I thought I'd post them for you.
"I promise to pray for you, to lift you up before the Lord. I promise to always speak your name before His throne. That new life in Him you'd find, that He'd give you peace of mind. I promise to pray for you, God's love to embrace you."
I promise to pray for sweet little Harper. I pray that God will watch over her and your family and friends. I pray that he will heal her little body and give her a strong healthy heart, so she can go home with you all soon.
God bless,
Michele
Pearland, Texas
THoughts and prayers continue to flow your way. Take care of yourselves and try and rest. God is making this child better and He will continue to watch over her and protect her. God bless ya'll!!
Harper is just beautiful, Kelly. I think she looks just like you, but it is still hard to tell. I am so glad you are receiving better news. I know you are just hanging on every word the doctors and nurses say. We are praying every minute.
And, you look so good. I would be a wreck after having given birth and going through this emotional trauma!!
Love you, sweet friend!!

Praying for little Harper. Believing in her COMPLETE earthly healing.
I have been praying for you guys all weekend! God is answering prayers...It is awesome to see all these posts and to see how many lives you have touched. Know you have at least 3 people in Arkadoo praying for you.
P.S. She's beautiful!
I have been following your blog for a while but have never commented. Little Miss Harper sure is beautiful! She is going to look perfect with that crown one day! I had an almost 10 pound girl twelve years ago and remember how she filled out that bassinet so much better that those skinny babies. I am praying for your family and for Harper. You are ministering to so many out there.... the Lord works in mysterious ways.
Oh, she looks just like a little baby doll! She is absolutely adorable.
Continuing to pray!
Harper is beautiful! Still praying for you all :)

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
I'm not sure if someone else has shared this verse with you but God showed me this verse a couple of weeks ago as we are going through a tough time.
Harper is adorable! Congratulations! I hope you are taking care of yourself! I'll keep praying for Harper, you & Scott.
I am praying for Harper right now. I believe in miracles. My brother and daughter are both proof that prayer works. I know Harper will be a blessing to so many as she grows up.
Harper is beautiful. Still praying for her and you and your family!
Praying for you durning this storm. I'm so sorry that you have to face this. I know your a believer, and sometimes we just don't understand why God allows this? My son had to go through a major surgery at 5mo and it was very hard for all of us. He is fine today but I remember what a trying time that it was. Just know that God is in control no matter what Dr's say. I will keep praying along with so many people. She is a beautiful baby. I know there are angels next to her at all times protecting her.
Katie <><
She is so beautiful! Praying!
I am so glad to hear the news that Harper is improving! I think of her so many times during the day and lift her, you, Scott, and your family up in prayer.
She is so beautiful! I can't wait to see her dressed up in some of those adorable clothes she has waiting for her in her closet!
God hears your prayers!
Prayers are still coming at you from Joplin! We Praise the Lord for Harper and the work He has begun in her and through her.
btw, You look amazing!
I don't know who Harper looks like either, I just know she's GORGEOUS!!! I will continue to pray specifically for her lungs and heart. I'm so glad she is doing better and that you and Scott have such great support. Your story has touched so many people, including myself. I know God has great plans for Harper and your family. I can't wait to see how He will use you all! Stay strong and know that there are so many people pulling for your little girl. Our God is listening...
Much love,
Amy Rincon in Houston

I immediately went and told my husband and we stopped and prayed for you immediately! Yesterday, he asked me how Harper was doing! I was so excited to check and see the good reports!!
Hang in there ... God has big plans for that little girl!! :)
Bryan and Susan Neal
What a little angel. God is great!
In our family, we always say "p'ing for you!" My grandparents used to be missionaries in Estonia, and were being watched by the government (they don't like Christians very much!).. their phones were all tapped, so p'ing was our code word for praying.
P'ing for you from Toronto, Ontario!
Still praying for your beautiful baby girl!

♥God is GOOD!♥

What a precious little darling! I just found you on Bless our Nest and wanted to say that Baby Harper is definitely in my prayers!
I have been checking in periodically with your blog for the past few months. I was actually thinking about you specifically on Friday though I couldn't have known what you were going through. My heart goes out to you and I am on my knees in prayer for you and your sweet, sweet daughter. May you and Harper one day look back on this time with awe and wonder at our mighty God!
God bless you!!!
she is so pretty!! :)
She is absoluetly beautiful. Glad to hear a good report.
harper is beautiful, with her ventilator, uvc, and every other electrode and sensor attached! i have worried over patients the same way harper's nurse is worried over your sweet baby. i am still praying for you and for harper and recovery for you both.
I pray that the Lord showers down his love on Harper and your family during this time. I just know that Harper can't wait for her mommy to hold and snuggle her!
Praise Him for the ways He is continuing to work!!! So glad to hear these praise reports. Of course, we won't stop praying!!
Praise the Lord she is doing so well! I truly believe God will only continue healing her too. I will not cease praying until she is finally home with you where you can love on her all day long!
Dear little Harper, You are in my family's prayers. We have recently gone through a very difficult situation with our little boy as he had a stroke before he was born, spent 6 days in the NICU, and we were told he wouldn't make it. He is 2.5 weeks old and doing really well! We have a million follow-ups to drs, but are SO grateful God answered our prayers for him. Know that you are loved and we are asking God to spare your precious life and allow you to bring lots of joy and smiles to your mommy & daddy's faces over the years. Love, The N's p.s. Kelly & family if you need encouragement from a family that has gone through something similiar recently please feel free to contact me... it's hard but God is GOOD! -debi
Kelly-
I am an avid reader of AGD blog and now that I have found your precious blog I am hooked on yours as well. I will pray for sweet Harper and her heart. My prayers are for her to be better soon so you can hold that tiny precious in your loving arms. Lots of prayers in Dallas, Texas!
Lindsey
Beautiful baby girl and I love her name! Praying for her!
Precious little Harper and your family are in our prayers. St. Francis is such an excellent hospital. I've been in it myself and my mother had her heart surgery there.
Your faith is an inspiration.
I've been in a similar situation with my youngest daughter twice. She was about a month and a half old & crashed due to heart failure (she has tetralogy of fallot - a CHD that has required now 9 surgeries to correct). The second time she was closer to 4 months old she had a heart attack after her first open heart surgery. The nurses & all her docs thought that she wouldn't make it. She is now a vibrant, healthy, happy 2 year old!!!
Praying that Harper continues to astound the medical community with what God does in her life!
(PS - feel free to stop by Vaeh's blog if you get a chance... I'm sure you're busy:0)
Kelly we are all still praying. I am constantly checking for updates. It is such a roller coaster for you right now. It is hard seeing your babe with all of that equipment but she is going to pull through. God is an Awesome God and gives us the Miracles we need. Harper is proof of that. WE pray that she comes off the vent soon so they can see her heart is doing well. Also your nurses are your lifeline right now. They became our best friends and helped our girls fight to come home. We are all paying for you.
She is absoulutely beautiful! Harper is still in my prayers.
Harper is such a miracle! She is so beautiful. I'm still praying - thanking God for taking care of her, and asking that He will continue to heal her!
We are continuing to pray for you over here in Cali. Harper is a beautiful baby! So chunky already, that's the best kind.
Harper is just gorgeous!! So many people are contunuing to keep Harper, you and your family in our hearts and thoughts...
She's beautiful!!
We're praying!
Kelly,
My daughter got me to reading your blog and I have been following it for a few months now. You and your family are precious. This weekend I was out of town helping my daughter move into a new place. We were keeping up with Harper's progress via her blackberry and saying prayers for her thru out the weekend. Harper is beautiful! We just want you to know that we uplifting all of you in prayers!
A beautiful baby. We are praying for her in N Ireland.
I'm praying for your sweet Harper and for you too. I read about you on Bring the Rain...
Much Love,
Melody
