Prayers being answered for baby Whitney.. keep them coming! Phoenix, AZ

I just got a text today from my friend Rachel who went to see baby Whitney today and she held her hand.

I had to post this because I was so touched by this, baby Whitney’s eyes were opened today. Being a Mom myself the most precious moment of my life after the baby came out. Looking into your babies eyes and them starring back into yours just melts your heart!

I took this off her blog from what her Daddy wrote. Please keep those prayers coming, they are very powerful and are working! God calls us to pray so that we lean on Him and it helps us to see we are not in control He is.
This morning, Alicia and I returned to the hospital and to our surprise, we found the nurses all gathered around Whitney. Nobody had worried looks on their faces, but just a little concern because for the first time Whitney was wide awake! For the first time we got to see Whitney conscious and awake with both eyes open. The nurses explained to us that she just woke up less than an hour ago. They were concerned because if Whitney was awake, then it probably meant she was in pain which lifted her from her sedation. We were there for at least an hour trying to get Whitney to “sleep” again (they increased the sedation medicine and gave her some more morphine). But after continued monitoring the nurses were amazed, saying that Whitney’s vitals looked better when she was awake than when she was fast asleep. They said that that’s just the opposite of what they would have expected normally. And just to be on the safe side, they wanted her resting again.

But while Whitney was awake, Alicia and I took full advantage of it. While awake, Whitney wasn’t so agitated by physical touch, so we got to hold her hand and arms, and touch her legs, feet, and her head, and give her a kiss. We took lots of pictures and video for keepsake. Whitney was aware that her mom and dad were right beside her. Whitney took turns looking at mommy, and then back at me. We softly sang to her the Hymn “Families Can Be Together Forever”, and that seemed to calm her down quite a bit. We eventually got her rested up and back to sleep. It was a moment I’m glad I didn’t miss.
