A little girl named Addison Scott went to be with the Lord tonight. She was born with HLHS, the same condition Blaze has. Addi had the Fontan, her 3rd surgery, in June. For some reason she went into heart failure, had a heart transplant the end of September and now she's gone. Every day is a gift. Somehow we get in our little bubbles and busy-ness and we forget. Then a little life like Addi's reminds us to make little moments count.
And tonight, a little guy named Preston got a call that the heart that he has been waiting on has arrived. His life looked very grim and suddenly he has a new chance, another hope. While his donor's family grieves their loss, Preston and his family have another chance. Praying for a smooth, successful surgery.
Praying for all the families tonight of those who mourn. So grateful for the hope that we have in Christ. Thankful we can cling to His promises, even when life does not make sense.
I sat next to Blaze's bed and watched his peaceful sleep for some time tonight. So thankful...so blessed...so aware that we've been given the gift of another day with him, as challenging as that day might be! Holding on to hope.
