a call for prayer


i wanted to let you know that mia had to have some tests done this week. while i do not have all of the results yet, some of the news was not the best. she tested positive for hepatitis c. her birth mother contracted it through her extensive drug use and apparently passed it on to mia. we went back in for more labs and are awaiting the results on those. i did find out that her liver is functioning normally at this time. so that is very good news because hepatitis c affects the liver.
the rest is still very much up in the air. in the meantime, i have been doing a lot of praying and researching as much as i can. i know that she is God's child. and no matter what else is ahead, i know that we will not go it alone. i know that the God who created her, is the same God who can come and restore her body to perfect health. i just ask you to pray for us. mostly, for me to remain as strong as i need to be and for mia to be well and without suffering. thank you. i will keep you posted.

if there were to be no trouble, why would she have needed you, her angel?

we love you and are trusting with you.
