Amazing Grace

I have a wonderful friend from school, Maggie. 2 months ago, Maggie and her husband Mike (also a friend from high school) had the most beautiful baby girl, Grace Ellen Meyer. Grace was born with a heart defect that required surgery not long after she was born. It has been a trying 2 months for her and her parents, but I was thrilled to hear that yesterday, Grace was taken off her ventilator and was able to breathe on her own all day. Amazing Grace indeed!

I cannot think of a more awesome person than Maggie and as someone who had many sleepovers at her house, I can say the same for her wonderful family. I know that it was their enduring love for Grace and for each other that lifted her through these tough times. If you pray, please pray for this gorgeous little one, or keep her in your thoughts. I know the positive energy of everyone around her will help her heal. I am crossing my fingers that Maggie and Mike will be able to take her home for the first time soon, an event that is long overdue.
