When I would hold Abbey and pray for her upcoming surgery, I couldn't help but to pray for our sweet little neighor Addi and her upcoming surgery as well.
Then the time came. Surgeries. Then Cardio Vasicular Intensive Care Unit:
Abbey
Addi
Although Abbey and Addi were no longer roomates, God had still created a bond. Adam and I would often see Addi's parents in the hall and we would share a few words before heading in to see our sweet babies. One day when Adam and I were switching off with Abbey, I walked by Addi's room. As I was walking by I took a quick peek at Addi. My heart was extremely heavy. Although our paths may be different, Addi's mommy and I had something in common. Our little baby girls had just faced open heart surgeries and were fighting for their lives. I also know what it is like for a parent the first time they see their child like this. It is more than heart breaking. It takes God's hands holding you up and breathing air into your body, so you can just breathe. Tears were in my eyes as I ran into Nicole (Addi's mom) I told her, "one day soon before we know it we will be at disneyland with our girls running around and having lots of fun."
Not only have we remained close friends with this family, Abbey and Addi are little buddies and have had many play dates. Most importantly....WE MADE IT TO DISNEYLAND!
Abbey and Addi are a true testimony of God's love and faithfulness. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
I'm so excited to see what God has planned for these two little miracles and I look forward to many years of friendship with Abbey and Addi.
