Baby Sawyer is Home...and I Could Use Your Help

Just a quick post to say....

BABY SAWYER IS HOME!!!!!!!! He is still recovering and faces many hurdles ahead, but things are going pretty well for sweet Sawyer and his family. I spoke with his mama, my dear friend Nicki, last night. And, they are all so grateful to be home...so thankful for all of the prayers, so grateful to family, friends, and the amazing medical team...and so in awe of the miracle they have been part of, as their son went from frightening circumstances to being home in their arms. He still has some hurdles ahead of him. So, please keep praying. But, by all means...feel free to praise the One who has carried this sweet family and this precious boy...and join me in rejoicing with them and giving God the glory for this gift.

In other news...there are a lot of events coming up for Sufficient Grace right now. (Please check the Coming Events page to find out how you can pray for these activities and/or offer your support.)

On May 27th, I will be presenting several seminars throughout the day to the staff at St. Rita's Hospital in Lima, Ohio. Please pray as I prepare for this..that God would give me the words...that it would be an encouragement to the staff, that it would be helpful in equipping them to better serve their patients...and that I would be a vessel of His love and grace...and a voice for the mothers who are grieving.

And...actually, I could use your help. If you are a parent who has lost a baby, and would like to offer your wisdom, experience, opinions, etc., please go to my blog frog and join the most recent discussion. I will be sharing about the things that caregivers/hospital staff can do that are helpful...and the things some of us have experienced that were harmful. (So that those things can be avoided.) Also, they are asking for suggestions on how they can make follow-up care less emotionally painful for grieving parents (waiting in the waiting room, communicating on records so that all staff know that there has been a loss, etc.) I have some ideas, but I would really appreciate your input.

Thank you so much!
