Happy Birthday Taylor




Taylor turned 15 on August 3rd - and what a party she had - food, swimming, watching a movie in the theater room, giggles and lots of laughter. It almost seems impossible that 15 years ago she was born premature at 28 weeks, weighing just 2 pounds 8 ounces and having to spend the next three months of her little life in the NICU at Primary Children's Hospital undergoing many surgeries. She is our little miracle from above.
Even though she was in critical condition for many days, weeks and even months after she was born - Having limited contact with her, having to be in sterile hospital clothing to protect her from our germs, dailey visits to the hospital, lots of near misses, tears, and desperate prayers, never forgetting our sweet Taylor may have been in critical condition she was never alone. The Savior was there with her too. He was with her until everything became stable and He is still with her to this very day. The randon tender mercies of a loving Heavenly Father is always a reminder that we indeed have a purpose and are loved from Heaven above.
