End of day 4

Our little guy had a very big day today! Tonight he is resting very peacefully. All of his vitals are perfect! Back on his Lasix drip to get all the extra fluid off from his surgery. Chest cavity is still open and might stay that way for some time.. They are weaning him of his epi, hoping all goes well with the med change.. We are all so proud of him and overjoyed with his progress! Day 4 done and we would call this a successful day! A quote from my sister Dana ( who is a huge buckeye fan) " Today was a big day for the sweet little guy but He is a victor for sure"..... And of course I added. Go Blue!!!!! She said "baby steps for us bucks". Now that I am feeling more like myself.. I will try to make daily blogs at the end of each day!! Thank you for your love and support and of course all of your prayers! God is Good!!!! We love you.

Day 4

Today was an eventful day for Liam! Back into surgery for our little guy! The obstruction causing increased pressure was a blood clot that had formed around his central line... They surgeon said it was pretty decent in size! They were very pleased that was what they found! They also adjusted his pulmonary band to help with blood flow while in there!! Decided to keep his chest open a little longer to see what happens with the adjustment! He is back resting peacefully. All vitals are stable. He looks so beautiful! Thank you all for your additional prayers! The power of prayer is amazing! Gods hands are all over this!!

Extra prayers for Liam

Today we are writing for some extra prayers for Liam! It is looking like he has to go back in to surgery again tomorrow to fix a narrowing in the vein they fixed originally. The doctor thinks he will do great and we all know what a little fighter he is! This is not a life threatening concern but something that they need to fix for the future. Thanks for everyone's love and support! And of course all of your prayers!

Liam Kent Sugar!

Liam Kent.... He is doing wonderful! The doctors are very pleased by his progress! All of his stats are perfect and if they stay that way he could possibly have his chest closed by tomorrow night! I wish all of you could see him! He is so gorgeous and you just know when u set your eyes on him that he truly is god's blessing!! Thank you all for your prayers!! Chris and I are so happy and overwhelmed! The power of prayer is amazing!! Love all of you!! Xoxo

God is Good!

Liam is out of surgery and is in recovery! 

Everything went exactly as planned! 

Although the next 24-48 hours are critical, God is good and the power of prayer has been nothing short of amazing! 

Angie is doing great and resting quietly now!  They should be able to see Liam when he gets to the NICU around 4:30! 

Thanks to all of you for all of you love and prayers!  We have felt nothing but love and support!

Liam is here!

Liam was born at 9:57 weighing 6lbs 6oz. They took him right to surgery and it will probably take about 4 hours! Thanks for your continued prayers

A Prayer For Liam

Hi Everyone!  This is Angie's sister, Dana!  I will be updating Angie's blog over the next few days to keep everyone up-to-date on everything!  We are all in MI now and Angie's c-section is scheduled for 9am tomorrow.
I wanted to share a prayer that was read and written by Sara Dickey at our fundraiser last Sunday!  Please keep Angie, Chris, and Baby Liam in your prayers!

A PRAYER FOR LIAM

Let us bring our hands to our neighbors & know that love is the reason for our gathering today.

This love is alive in all of us & together we walk for the love of Angie & Chris's heart.

May this love be returned back to Liam's family & friends.

We ask today to have our sights set in the realm of faith.

As Hebrew 11.1 assures, "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

So let us be certain today that this little boy has brought us together to grow our faith & our love.

With each step we travel today we move towards the miracle of Liam's birth.

We ask that our union today would radiantly create hope & restoration.

We have been awaiting Liam's coming and in the center of that waiting we have discovered patience, compassion, gratitude, community, and humility.

We ask that these gifts of the Spirit travel into each of our lives today, and may we remember that it is in these times that we are never more sweetly held.

Liam's life has joined our hearts in love & we pray that as his birth approached his love will will help us to shine our own lights.

Liam has brought us into the realm of nature today to expect, or to look forward to his arrival.

May we utter blessings in our conversations, and may our prayers be that thanksgiving.

May we notice the beauty of nature and truly be present for its miracles.

Liam's name meaning "Strong Willed Warrior" gives us purpose as we take each step today.

So today, let us celebrate him and let us close with a blessing upon Liam & his family.

May the Lord bless you and protect you.  May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you peace.

~Number 6: 24-26 NLT

Amen

Thank you all for your support!  We are so blessed to have so many people in our lives that love Angie, Chris, & Liam.  I read a quote on a blog that I follow that really touched me and I will keep it close to my heart over the next few days.  

"Remove any of your fear with faith.

                  Trust the power of God to guide you"
