(Mom's turn to write) I really don't like to write too much, heaven knows my sisters-in-law have been trying to convince me, but there is a first time for everything. I'm really doing it for my girl, and writing during this time, opens up the flood gates. Anyway, we were able to grab a few hours of sleep before going to see our little girl at 6 this morning. She had a stable night and she looks even more beautiful with her new hairdo: her nurse Torrey washed her hair and did french braids after they took off her EEG (electroencephalogram) and her hair was covered in glue. I know Vittoria would love her hair. She would say that she looks like Barbie in one of her princess movies, and I swear I will learn how so that she can look like a princess all the time ( and my sisters-in-law can take a break). I went back with James' mom and as soon as I started talking to her, her eyes opened and closed a couple of times, like she recognized my voice. She has never done that for me. Her dad and nurses have been able to get her to communicate, but this time it was just me!! Of course, all the practice I have been doing to not cry or fall apart went right out of the window. I don't know if I can explain exactly what happened to my heart, but it was like it was jolted by a positive shock.
My mom and dad just got here with our little Jacomo so I am going to go be a mommy to my little boy for a while. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and please keep it up. Our little princess still needs it!

Hi. You don't know us. I am Becky Ivory. My husband Ken and I are friends with James and Angie Marsden. We have been out of town for the past week and I just received an e-mail from James telling us about you and your little girl and what you have been going through. I just read all of your posts and although we don't know you, our hearts go out to you as you are going through such a traumatic and difficult time. We lost one of our children when they were born and cannot even imagine how difficult this must be for you. We will do what we can to help.
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask what blood type Vittoria is.
I will follow your blog to see how she is doing and just want you to know that our prayers are with you. God bless you all. Becky
Hey guys, it's Amy. I'm so glad Vittoria had a good night. I'm praying for you. I love you all very much, here is a quote for the day. "Let Hope Sustain You.". All my love and prayers Amy Jean
ReplyDeletegood to hear that the night went well. Love you , you are in our prayers always
ReplyDeleteWe love you - and I wish I could be there with you. We are all praying and fasting for her here in Denver. Please let me know if I can help in any other way and tell Vittoria how much I love her.
ReplyDeleteWe just wanted to tell you we love you and are praying constantly for your family. WE will be there the second week in August and will give you all a big California hug.(hot and sweaty) We love you so much. You are all heroes to us.
ReplyDeleteHi there - What a blessing it was for us to see you all yesterday. (I hate that it was in the hospital though.) Our prayers are with you and Vittoria. You are all an example of faith for us. We are grateful to be able to get updates through the blog. Love, Marinda & family
ReplyDeleteJames & Val,
ReplyDeleteAustin's Aunt Karren (Justice) updated the Palmer family earlier this week on what has been happening with Vittoria. The news made my heart ache, thinking of her and all of the concern a parent feels for their little ones. We've had a few sleepless nights at Primary Childrens with our youngest son, but nothing compared to what your little family has gone through! The Justices & Palmers have had her in our prayers. Good luck with everything! :)
