Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

Brielle

Please say a prayer for baby Brielle (the 20 day old beautiful daughter of a good friend of mine) at 9:30 am tomorrow, 8/28. Brielle has a congenital heart defect for which she underwent open heart surgery when she was only 10 days old. Since then, she has struggled for life and is being sustained by a machine that pumps her blood for her. Tomorrow, the doctors are going to wean her off of the machine in hopes that she is strong enough for her heart to pump on its own. Brielle is in for the fight of her life tomorrow. Please keep her and her parents in your thoughts tomorrow, especially around 9:30 am!

Brielle, I pray that you have the strength you need to thrive off of the ECMO; I pray that your parents continue to trust in God and have the strength they need to stand by you; and I pray for your doctors and nurses as they work hard to bring you safely off of the ECMO.
