Reminders from Heaven.

Chloe's friend, one of my good friends daughters, got baptized today. I really wanted to go to support my friend and watch this sweet girl enter the waters of baptism. Such a neat thing to see and for Chloe to see. She's so sad she has to wait until she's 8 to follow the Saviors example. Anyway, we left the house at a quarter to nine and got back at 3:00. That's quite a big outing for Georgia Mae and for me, but we both did great!

When we got home Georgia was sleepy and hungry, so I got her feed going and put her in her little nest. I start to walk away to do some dishes when I get a gentle reminder to plug her into her heart monitor. I'm so distracted today that I put her pulse ox lead on and walk away without plugging it into the machine. Another gentle reminder sounded the alarm to remind me to plug her in. I walk away knowing this is not the first time I have had heavenly help in her care.  I've long been aware of the angels surrounding Georgia, protecting her on this journey, but in that moment I realize they're surrounding me as well. 

I have often wondered to myself and close friends, how will I keep this baby alive?  I'm not medically trained and even trained professionals have a hard time with her. I know that all that has happened; suctioning her as she chokes, knowing I needed to call a doctor when her nissen slipped, and performing CPR that weekend before her surgery cannot be credited to me. I was being assisted and prompted with heavenly help all along the way.

I have been given the great privilege to have Georgia as a daughter here on earth. Her life and a accompying miracles have touched hundreds of lives already. Whether her mortal mission is brief or very long, I know it was not in vain. Heavenly Father cares for her and has a plan for her as well. So blessed to care for this sweet daughter of God on her earthly mission.

Before returning home I saw a saying on my friends wall; "there is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world".  Praying Georgia leaves many more imprints!
