Her chubby cheeks are kissable.
Her hair has a sweet curl that compels us to rub her head at every opportunity. Her breathing is raspy at times, which is a relief, since it means she's resting, breathing and still with us.
Her sisters bring her their "kiki's" and dollies and sing sweet songs to her. She sits with us most of the day, and sleeps near us at night.
We snuggle her whenever we have the urge. And through it all, she sleeps.
We live for the moments when she opens her eyes ever so slightly and we can pour into them all the love and affection and adoration we have for her.
These moments are fewer lately. And we treasure them all the more.

Oh Jude, Thank you. We treasure your prayers.
I am still checking this daily to see how she is doing. She is so precious. We also continue to pray for her and your family. Please let me know if you need anything.
Still praying for an Ava miracle. Wish we still lived across the street and not another state away. Love to you all.

i have been praying for you guys...as a newer parent, i now understand what heartbreak feels like when your child is sick. yours must be so much greater. as a medical person, i also understand how knowing too much can make it difficult to not go to negative spaces! i wish i was there to help you out and could meet all your fun girls. i will continue to pray hard for you, matt and sara. i am consistently in awe of your grace, courage, and faith. much love!!
