PICU – Day 1

Ruby had a really good night for a baby who just had brain surgery and is in the PICU hooked to all kinds of machines and monitors and things that beep and alarm.   No doubt ministering angels have been tending  to our little Miss Ruby Grace.    I slept for bits and pieces sitting…

Sharin’ Some Details…

So thankful for each of you who are lifting our Ruby treasure up in prayer.  It is no doubt the power of prayer that she is laying calmly looking around, waving her arm with the IV board and cooing.  Faithful God and faithful friends praying – thank you.  Dw and I have talked,  and we…
