We would like to share our journey with you, our friends and family, as we walk through this transplant recovery. In addition to providing updates, we will use this site as a place to share how we got started in foster care. It has been an amazing journey.
Please note that we need to keep our pumpkin's identity confidential, so please do not use his name in any of the posts. We will refer to him as R.
Post Transplant
Day 1
After being awake for close to 24 hours, we were exhausted, yet relieved that he did so well. R is stable, and is still on the ventilator and sedation meds. The dr. took him off the vent., but he did not breathe well enough on his own, so they put him back on it. They will try again tomorrow. His vitals continue to look good. We know that it will be one day at a time. Thank you for your prayers. We are believing for a full recovery!
As you probably have noticed, the title of our blog is Hebrews 11:1. A dear friend was praying for us and was led to this verse in the Bible, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." By faith we are believing that God is moving in mighty ways in our lives and in R's. Our hope is that R will have a full and speedy recovery. Although we see obstacles and a long road ahead, we are certain of God's hand in all of it. He has already accomplished the miracle of putting R on the active transplant list, He provided a donor, and He brought R through a very complicated and difficult transplant. Oh, how HE loves HIS children!

We know firsthand the power God has because of the blessings he has bestowed on Maggie and our family this past year, as he will with R. and your family. You will be in our thoughts and prayers always.
Love,
Rob, Jamie, and Maggie
Thank you for the updates. We are praying for R and can't wait to meet him.
Our prayers are with R and all of you. It's a long road, full of challenges, but also of blessings that are often unexpected. You are taking a journey that requires a very special calling. God bless you!
