Phillippians 4:19 has always been one of my favorite verses....
I know I have not been on here in a while, I am sorry. Things got pretty busy around here.
Aaron turned One year old June 2nd. We had a blast at his little party. He had a great turn out!
We were planning a trip to Florida to see my Grandmother and then on to West Virginia to candidate at a church. The evening before our trip started my life took a significant change.
Please bear with me as I tell you this story. It is still hard (as it always will be) to tell this story of what happened to my baby.
Alex is 3 yrs old now!! It is so hard to believe how fast time flies, seems like yesterday that I was holding my 4lb 14oz baby in the NICU! God has really worked in his little life. He is my miracle baby. Although he was born 6 weeks early, there is no sign of him being premature at all... to this day~
Anyway, that Friday, Alex was playing, and I was frantically cleaning and packing. Not willing to stop for anything.. I was on a roll!!! My inlaws called saying they were coming by with a shirt for Stan. I, determinedly, protested they not come! My mother in law is not usually so determined and forceful about coming by, but she insisted. So I even more frantically stopped packing and started cleaning. I was not very happy about it to say the least. So, they came in and Grandpa and Alex started playing. Gramma was checking Stans shirt out when we heard Grandpa yell. We walked in to Alex seizing! He has never done this and I didnt know what to think. My first thought was his blood sugar, since that runs on both sides of our family. Immediately his lips turned blue... My mother in law, a certified RN, (Praise God) started CPR. I called 911 (rather panicky). She had to do cpr for 2 minutes before he finally took a breath. 30 minutes later, we finally arrived at the hospital. By the time we got there, Alex was just starting to come around and recognize, and open his eyes. To this day, the drs dont know why he had this happen. He has a Neurology appt scheduled for Nov 3. They scheduled this to see if there is any underlying seizure activity. We are praying there isnt any. Alex is fine. He is my very hyper, fun-loving 3 yr old. I thank God for every laugh, whine, movement my children make. Yes, of course they drive me crazy, but I still thank God for them. Now, when my Mother in law says she is coming, I dont panic! God has a reason!!! :)
I quit my job due to the pregnancy and I dont leave Alex alone at all! Stan has a job, just has not started yet. Things have been tight, but God has always provided a way!!!

It is good to find a post from you again. (I know...I'm a good one to be talking!) Thank you for sharing Alex's story and for being willing to be so open and honest about how you felt about your in-law's stopping by that day. You are a special young woman, Christina. And don't you EVER forget that! Love you!
