One Year Ago

One year ago we almost lost our dear Ashley to RSV. I remember it all like it was yesterday. There were so many awful memories of that day. You feel so helpless when your child is suffering and the doctor's and nurse's are trying to help her, but it's just not working like they would like and all you can do is stand back a watch. After they got her vented and the room cleared out of the 10 doctor's and nurse's that were working on her when she stopped breathing and her vitals were all going down fast. There where two nurse's remained in the room and they told us "Someone sure was watching over your little girl tonight and thank goodness she is a fighter" I will never forget those words. I don't think I stopped praying the whole time we were in the ER. God decided to let her live that night and he must have some big plans for her. We are so thankful for all the Doctor's, Nurse's, Social Workers, Aero Med Team, Friends, Family, and our Church that helped us and Ashley during this time. We are so blessed to have her in our family this past year. Today will be filled with tears, but they are tears of joy that we have our daughter and tears of saddness with the memories and the sights of that day. I put up this saying above her crib and it sums it up nicely "Such a big miracle, in such a little girl"
