. I Still Would Have Chosen You ~By Terri Banish
If before you were born, I could have gone to Heaven and saw all the beautiful souls, I still would have chosen you...
If God had told me, "This soul would one day need extra care and needs", I still would have chosen you.
If He had told me, "This soul may make your heart bleed", I still would have chosen you.
If He had told me, "This soul would make you question the depth of your faith", I still would have chosen you.
If He had told me, "This soul would make tears flow from your eyes that could fill a river", I still would have chosen you.
If He had told me, "This soul may one day make you witness overbearing suffering", I still would have chosen you.
If He had told me, "All that you know to be normal would drastically change", I still would have chosen you.
Of course, even though I would have chosen you, I know it was God who chose me for you.
I write this blog to all of you while I lay from Liam's hospital bed. Nurse Jenna had an amazing idea to get a big boy bed for him so we could be close to him and cuddle him. It was so cute at one point today. He woke up while I lay staring at him and it was almost like he said wow mom watch my personal space. He has the best expressions.
He spiked another fever last night. His weight is down. He is still significantly swollen but his eyes are finally his eyes if that makes sense. Our plan at this point is to see how he does over the weekend and re echo him on Monday and check the blood clot again. Obviously at this point we are going to let God be in control and love up on our little boy the most we can over the weekend. We want to celebrate Liam !
I'm so glad that you're in such an awesome facility w/nurses that go above and beyond the call of duty. And yay for getting to love on that little sweet pea even more! You all remain in my prayers throughout ever single day.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kindle Page; I'm a friend of Dawn Biegenwald. I posted the poem. I've been following Liam's journey since she shared with me the story of a baby boy fighting everyday to live. While I've never met you, I feel like I know your heart. I admire your strength and courage. You are the mom that I strive everyday to be-I have an 8 month old son. I pray for Liam and your whole family everyday. May God bless you all.
ReplyDelete"I lived in the gray & she colored me in with nothing but three small words. She touched my face, smiled, & said you are loved" Liam is certainly loved & cared for, I pray for him everyday.

ReplyDelete"his eyes are finally his eyes" makes total sense. I have been in a somewhat similar situation and know exactly what you mean. Moments are lifetimes, and for all we know, Liam is living more in these moments than many of us will our entire lives.
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your family and of course for your superhero Liam. God bless
ReplyDeletePraying that Our Dear Lord heals you Liam. You have been in my prayers every single days since you were born..so many people praying for you and for your mother and father. You have touched my heart and soul so deeply..you are loved so much. God Bless.
