I told the doctor this morning that Daddy and I decided on the G-Tube for you. We are trying to combine as many surgeries as possible, so right now the plan is for you to be transferred to TCH on Sunday for a Monday surgery. They will place the G-Tube and give you a colostomy and maybe Dr. Yen will check you out this week and consider doing your cataract surgery at the same time. I am not excited about the colostomy—I had thought that wasn’t going to be necessary. Tomorrow I will discuss why they feel this is best with the doctor.
Daddy didn’t get to visit with you this evening. He didn’t miss too much though. You refused to wake up to take your 9:00p bottle. This time you weren’t acting, you were completely out. I gave up after awhile and left while you were sleeping peacefully.

To my precious baby Audrey:
This is my letter to you beginning the day you were born. You are the bravest little girl, and I thought one day you would appreciate knowing how your life started out and how much you were loved through it all. I don't want you to ever doubt that if we could have picked any child, we would have picked you.
All my love,
Mama

Playlist
Your Songs
These are what I would consider to be "our songs". And this is why...
1)"Fingerprints" by Steven Curtis Chapman--I have always loved this one and it is my favorite song for you. It makes me cry.
2) "Be Still" by Storyside:B--This song came out around the time you were born. I had many of those "face down upon the floor" moments in those days.
3) "Letting Go" by Francesca Battistelli--Obviously, this is not what we planned for ourselves. But we have learned to let go of our own dreams and find joy in what God is doing in your life.
4) "Miracle of the Moment" also by Steven Curtis Chapman -- When I found out I was pregnant with you, I cried. Daddy and I had only been married 6 weeks and I wanted to wait awhile longer. As I was sobbing that day, I heard this song for the first time and did as it said. I took a big breath, calmed myself down and realized you were a miracle--and those moments weren't to be missed. When you were born, this song spoke to me on a whole new level. I tear up listening to it now.
I'm sure I will add more as I think of them. I love you Audrey Boo.

You do not know me, yet I understand what you might be going thru. Our son, Kyle was born almost 3 months early and came in at 3 lbs. He was in NICU for close to 45 days and had complications. That was 19 years ago and Kyle is a normal teenage young man. I am saying this to help you, to give you hope. Find the comfort and support in family and friends. Seek God's face in this and rest in the knowledge that while it seems crazy to us down here, God has a plan up there.
Lord God,
Your power and majesty leaves us in awe...Father, we lift up our precious Audrey and her beautiful parents and ask for Your complete physical healing for Audrey and complete emotional healing for Brad and Amber. Lord we know that Audrey's birth is a gift to us all, but Audrey is the one truly blessed with the parents You have so graciously given to her!!! Please wrap Your loving, comforting arms around Brad & Amber...so tight that they can physically feel You. Let them be reassured that You are in complete control and I pray that they seek You for every decision they make. Strengthen their marriage and give them time for each other!!!! Heal their hearts, wipe their tears and give them the power of Your Spirit so that they can watch You work, and see You glorified through Audrey!!!!
In the name of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
We love you,
Shane & Lori
