Today is the day we have been waiting for since Ruthie Lou arrived here in Oakland. Today we find out that our prayers, good thoughts and positive energy have been heard. Her MRI is scheduled between 3-4pm and we should have results reported to us sometime this evening. During that time please set aside a quiet moment to send her your strength. She is a strong little girl, a fighter like her mama and I know that she is doing everything in her power to get healthy but there is no greater force that we can provide than to send her our strength, send her our energy and pray that God & the universe protect her little body. We do not care about statistics, miracles happen everyday and this sweet angel is a miracle and will continue to be a miracle. Thank you for all your messages so far. We check the guestbook (& text messages) often and even if we don't respond, we share your words with each other and smile as we read your thoughts. It brings us a moment of strength when we need a little boost. It helps to know you you are thinking of us and thinking of our little miss Ruthie Lou.

Shouting it from the rooftops would not be loud enough.... PRELIMINARY RESULTS ARE NORMAL!!! The doctor couldn't tell Chris fast enough as he saw him pass by & Chris couldn't run in the room any faster! We don't know much beyond that at this point, we are waiting for our "conference" with Ruthie Lou's team, 8 people in all...I counted them! But the transport team said she did great and she is becoming more and more alert as she is being weaned off her meds. Her facial expressions are hilarious as dad changes her diapers, she nearly hits the nurses as they mess with her tubes and she sucks her "oral care" sponge like crazy as we give her my milk. What a tough girl, what a fighter! She is quite saucy already and we love it! We will keep you posted as we are told the next steps but I know many of you have been patiently waiting for an update! Thank you does not sum up or describe our appreciation for your love, support, strength and prayers of good wishes. While we have done everything we can to stay strong and focused for our little angel, you have held her and us up in moments that we have needed you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you so much and are so grateful to be surrounded by such amazing, supportive and positive family and friends. Little miss Ruthie Lou is so blessed!
YOUR PRAYERS ARE WORKING!! We are sitting in a coffee shop wishing time would fly...I will update all the details later but what's most important is that little miss Ruthie Lou had such a good night that around 11am we get to HOLD HER FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME! We are so excited! I can hardly breathe because I have waited 6 days since she was born, 9 months since we got pregnant but really my whole life to feel my little girl in my arms. Thank you, God!!!
