Hey guys! I am finally able to get to a regular computer and update my blog. My heart is overwhelmed with the calls, texts, emails, posts, and visits. I knew we were loved, but man this feels REALLY good! Words will never be able to descibe how thankful we are for each and every one of you! I can honestly say that your prayers and kind words have kept us going. Keep them coming.
Love you all!

Where do I start....
Lexi has been on antibiotics since her last appt at UNC. Her cough has only mildly improved. She coughs less often during the day, but when she does it is deep and wet. In reality, she has been on antibiotics almost daily since January.
We are going into the hospital next Fri for Lexi to have a Bronchoscopy. The pulmonologist will go down her throat and into her lungs to look around and collect sputum samples to culture. I am believing in good results, but the devil is still on my back. She and I both are very anxious. As you can imagine how a 7 year old feels. She is scared and has asked me thousands of questions. I am not sure it makes things any easier that she has already experienced this. She knows how scary it is. She remembers the gown, the smells, the scary nurses, and the mask that will suffocatingly cover her face as she falls asleep.
I can think positive and keep my mind focused on God's plan. Lexi will be healed, God is using every experience to draw us and someone else closer into his arms, and this is going to make her completely better. Her anxiety, however, breaks my heart... I mean, how do you comfort her. She is sooo smart. She asks questions as if she were 20 yrs old. Mom, when will they start my IV, will they put my PICC line in while I am asleep, what antibiotics will I get...ect. And bless her heart, she will be so worked up by the day of the procedure, they will have to give her some Ativan to calm her down before they are ready to take her back to surgery. She is so strong, and tries to hide her emotions....but I know.
Please be in prayer for us as this day approaches. Pray for safety, pray for the doctors to have knowledge, pray for peace, and pray for this to be the day that God performs the biggest miracle for us....perfect healing!!!! I think New Bern's news channel may be there to do a documentary on the procedure for the upcoming telethon. What a great day it would be for our Angel to receive the blessing that she is promised....
