Isaac Day

Today we are Praising God for our Isaac.  December 3 will always remind me of fear.  3 years ago today our son was 7 weeks old and stopped breathing in my husbands arms.  We spent 4 unbelievably horrific days in the Mongolian hospital with babies dying all around us, but God saw us through and got us to the best pediatric hospital in France.  While in Paris it was confirmed that Isaac had RSV, a serious respiratory virus that can cause babies to stop breathing.  He was on a ventilator for 13 days because while in the Mongolian hospital he contracted the psuedomonus bacteria in his lungs also.  All the while God was watching over us and brought complete strangers to us to help us find things we needed and even a place to stay, in Paris, for free!  God is SO good.  He promises that He won't give us more than we can handle, and when we think it is too much, we only have to hold on to HIM.  Isaac is such a delightful little boy who has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives, I am so thankful for him and can't wait to see what God has in store for him in his life.  Here in this picture he is wearing Mr. Potatohead's teeth.

I remember this all so well. Kevin had just gotten back from Mongolia when this happened. I called Mrs. Dickey daily to see if she had any new news on you all. I am so glad that he is a healthy boy today. God is good!
