UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as I posted - the nurse came out and got us and said she had eyes open and to come see her!!!!
As soon as I posted - the nurse came out and got us and said she had eyes open and to come see her!!!!
I cried so hard when I saw this!
I'm sure she was thinking "my momma is crazy - all she does is cry"
This was such a special moment for us - we got in on video and on film
She gripped her daddy's finger - she knows we love her!
I got this sweet package from Footprints Ministry in AL - they send these to NICU patients and there were all kinds of neat goodies inside.
I got this neat basket from the Butchers in SC - they make these baskets and send them to NICU patients - there were the cutest things in here like Mary Jane socks and a bow headband and a rattle and blankets. You can see there website here.
This wonderful girl, Christina and her son Parker came to visit us today!!! We were so glad to meet them!
Cindy and Liberty Matthews heard about Scott promising Harper a pony - and she found this onesie and sent it to Harper - isn't it perfect??????
I got this precious necklace and these Paci clips ( are they not the CUTEST) from Brittany. I love them!!!!
And Brandi made me this necklace - you better believe I'll be wearing it!!!!
We went and ate lunch today with some other NICU parents. They are really sweet and have twin girls in here. It was nice to visit and have some friends in the same boat. (Well kind of - Harper weighs twice both of their girls put together - but you know what I mean).
Okay - you are probably wondering about a Harper update. You may notice in the pictures that my eyes are pretty swollen. I have cried a lot today. But they have been HAPPY tears!!! Harper is now on a regular ventilator - not an oscillator - which is WONDERFUL news!!!! HUGE! They have started waking her up and we just went in and saw her move her little fingers and toes and mouth. I can't tell you how exciting seeing those little feet move is to us!We have never asked "why" about Harper. Not once. We believe everything happens for a reason. And that has been confirmed again to us today - I got THREE e-mails today from people who got saved because of the story of this little girl. Not because of me or Harper - but because of God working through us. Is there anything better in the whole world than that???? Keep praying - not just for Harper, but for the other families in NICU's everywhere, and for people's lives to be changed.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 640 Newer› Newest»Amazing, it is so good to see those little eyes open! I am so happy for your family!! What a very special day!!
We are thinking about Harper and your family tonight!
What a praise!!!! people getting saved... Harper with her eyes open. My day just got a bit brighter. My morning started all wrong. Everything that could go wrong did. I started to feel very sorry for myself and then thought of little Harper and changed my mood. Now this great news.... I couldnt ask for more. Hope you are feeling better now. Take care
Kelly,
I got to your blog through a college friend's blog. You, Scott, and Harper have been in my thoughts and prayers since last week. I will continue to pray for God to bless y'all. I was so happy to hear today's news!! She is beautiful!
Love,
Ellen
Wonderful! How precious!
What a blessing for you to see your daughter's beautiful eyes open for the first time. Praise God!!!! And how amazing that He has used your family to bring others to salvation!
May God continue to heal Harper and fill your hearts with JOY!
~Love,
The Bishops in CO
Kelly,
I stumbled upon your blog via a comment someone posted at The Pioneer Woman. I am an apprentice midwife here in Tulsa. If you have any questions about Tulsa or need anything, feel free to email: heatherforrest@cox.net
I just wanted to post and let you know that I will be in agreement with your prayers for your sweet baby girl!! She is absolutely beautiful!
Kelly that is awesome news! I've been praying and following your blog since seeing your button on someone else's blog! Your Harper is precious, and God is doing wonderful things with and through her! What a testimony you all will be able to share of God and his healing and saving powers! May God continue to bless, heal, and save through this situation!
I cried seeing her precious little eyes opened! You and your family are so beautiful and are such a testimony to God.
Praise the Lord!!! for your little miracle. I only know you through your blogspot, but you have been such an inspiration to me and so many others. I have been praying for your sweet little Harper and following her progress on a daily basis. I was so excited to see the pictures of her with her eyes open. What a precious sight. Thanks for sharing your story. God is so faithful and it was such a joy to hear that 3 were saved after reading your blogs. He definitely has a plan and purpose for your little sweet heart.
What a blessing! To be able to touch so many lives, and know that all the trials that you are going through right now will be all worth it when you are home taking care of that special baby. Those lives may never had come to know Jesus as their savior if it weren't for your precious little girl. I will be praying for you all and precious Harper!
Oh my word---when I opened this post and saw those sweet eyes opened---well, I just yelled out!! So, so happy for ya'll!! Praise God!
I must say she looks awfully gorgeous with those eyes open! I am so glad that you got to see that today - and that she is doing so well.
Always praying for your sweet Harper!
FABULOUS! I know those are the most beautiful little eyes you've ever seen!
And THREE people saved?! Kellie! This is awesome!
God glorified, that is why!
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! I'm so excited for you all to finally get to see Harper's beautiful eyes and watch her move. Will continue in prayer.
Our God is an AWESOME God is all I can think to say! I am in tears praising our Lord for this miracle named Harper and her precious mommy and daddy.
Hugs and prayers from Indiana!
Carrie
beautiful beautiful eyes! GOD is good!
Seeing those eyes open, brings tears to mine. We are praying for you, Scott, Harper, and your parents, and in-laws. My neice is a NICU nurse and she has been following you guys very closely. I keep asking her, "what did that mean?" etc. and she's been giving it to me straight! Praise Jesus for he is good!!!
Yea for Harper waking up. How awesome! I love her. Thank you God you are sooooo good!
I'm here via Meredith's blog. Spoke to her today and she just underscored your amazing faith. Thank you for sharing your story and little Harper with us. She is just b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l! But I don't have to tell you this. I've been praying for her ever since I've seen little reminders to do so. Blessings to you all.
I'm not exactly sure just how I found your blog, but here I am and I've popped in the past few days to check on Harper's progress. Please know we're keeping you all and the NICU staff in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you a peace in your heart and the strength you need in these days and weeks to come. Lifting you all up daily in prayer. Miss Harper is quite the beauty with her bows and big smiles for those open eyes :) Many wishes for a good night and great day tomorrow!
Yay Harper!! She just keeps getting cuter and cuter! What an amazing story and testimony your family and sweet girl have...Praise God and may He continue to get GLORY!
I have been following your blog and praying like crazy! What a wonderful update to see!
God is good! I was so excited when I saw Harper had opened her eyes! I can only imagine how you guys must feel. I do not know you personally, and stumbled on your blog, and I have been so encaptured with your story. I am in awe as to how you have not had a bad attitude once, even when things have been so hard. You definately are my hero! I think that Harper is very lucky to have you as parents! She is beautiful, and will do great things in this world! Keepin you in my prayers, please keep me in yours!
Oh My Goodness!!!!!! I'm so happy that she is awake and doing SO much better!!!!!!! How exciting for you to see her awake and moving her little toesies!!! My little girl, Piper, and I check her status everyday (even though we don't know you). We say a little prayer for you everyday and I know that Harper will be home with you in no time!
Mailyn and Piper (Stephenville, TX)
What beautiful eyes!!! I have never commented before, but have been praying for you and sweet Harper and just couldn't resist saying Yeah God tonight! She is so beautiful! I'm doing a happy dance for you all!
~Kristin
She's even more beautiful, if that's possible with her eyes open. I'm sure she was just as excited to meet her mommy and daddy as you were to "meet" her beautiful wide eyed face! Still praying, God is good and what a blessing for Him to use you and your precious daughter is such a powerful way. We can all only hope he uses us half as much! Vicki
What a wonderful way to start the day and the week!! Her eyes are just beautiful and I am so glad to see her "making her moves" to wrap her fingers right around her daddy's finger! (Like she hasn't already) She is the vessel for God's good work- beautiful pictures and such great news of more answered prayers. Thanks for keeping us updated, and letting us celebrate in your exciting day!!
Love, Wendy Leonard
Oh Kelly!!! That is soo absolutely wonderful! I yelped out loud when I saw that her eyes were open!! YAY!!!! Praise God!! He has done so many wonderful things for you and your family! And, I know He will continue to do so! Love and prayers for Harper, you and your family!
has anyone noticed the "label" on one of the cords going to harper's tubes? i'm sure it means something medicial, but every time I see it, I read it "LIVE". You can see it really good in the picture with Scott in this particular post. i've noticed it several times over the past couple days.
Kelly, you continue to be amazing. I can imagine that your sweet baby was just excited to hear your voice as you are to see her eyes.
wishing you rest and comfort tonight.
PRAISE THE LORD! I am so glad to see those beautiful eyes! So happy for you!
I have been praying for you all every since I read your story the day after Harper was born.
I work in a NICU at a children's hospital, and I am just noticing that your little one still has her umbilical line in after 10 days. Please question the doctor about his plans to remove it, because after 7 days, risk of infection is elevated.
If Harper is not able to be supported on IVs until she is on full feedings, they will probably insert a PICC line which is quite normal in our NICU and is quite safe.
Please ask them about this, because I would hate to see an infection impede her progress.
Harper is absolutely gorgeous, and her progress is quite amazing.
Many blessings, Melissa
Harper looks so precious! Your family is in our prayers tonight!
God bless you all! What a precious sight to see you and Scott with Harper! God is so good!
Judy
Those are precious little eyes! I know you were so excited today to see that! We are still praying for your precious baby! God is good!
Who cares about puffy eyes when you have a reason to have a million dollar smile!?
Everytime I read a good update about Harper "praise God from whom all blessing flow" comes to my mind. I sang it to my Finley tonight as I rocked her to sleep and I can't wait until you get to do the same!!
We sang "It is well with my soul" last week at church and you are a true example of every word of that song!! Thanks for your faith and showing others the WAY, TRUTH, and LIFE by your walk!!
This first picture on this post is my favorite on your blog!! It brought tears to my eyes!! Way to go Harper!!
Wow! How AWESOME!!! Praise God for the wonderful day!!! Not only getting to see her precious dark eyes, but three new souls saved!!! We will continue to pray. Next pictures we see will be of you holding her!!!
What an answer to prayer! Little Harper's eyes are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I wasn't able to control my emotions...I don't know how you were even able to hold the camera steady to get a good picture!
Praising the Lord for his sovereignty!
I marvel at the gift god has given you and your husband. She is absoultely beautiful. I can't wait for Harper to go home and for you to take pictures of her in her many dresses~~
Keeping her in my prayers daily!!
Kristie
She is responding to you, what more can you ask for. Enjoy the next few days, be glad that you are blogging so you will remember this whirlwind when it is all over! Lots of prayers your way! Harper is beautiful!
Oh my. I have already left a comment for today, but this is absolutely amazing!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sitting here crying probably just as hard as you were. I am just so thrilled and excited for this amazing update!! God can't get enough praise right now. As much as I have prayed, I am praising now!!!! This is fantastic. God Bless. I look forward to more wonderful news tomorrow!!!
This is wonderful although I think you always showing gifts at a time like this seems insignificant.
Bless Harper. I will continue to pray for her recovery.
Thank you Lord for Harpers beautiful eyes! I was just telling my husband at dinner tonight that you and Scott haven't seen her eyes and then the first thing I saw when I opened your blog were HER EYES! My husband and I both started crying. She is making great progress it seems, but still taking one day at a time. As always, we will continue to pray!
PRAISE GOD!!! It thrills me to see those beautiful eyes opened. I can't imagine how you and Scott must feel. You two are a true testimony of a couple who trust God and we see how He has worked through this. Can you imagine the story Harper will have to tell as she grows older? I am so thankful for those who have come to Christ as a result of seeing the power of prayer and your faith. God bless you.
When I saw those beautiful eyes all open, I just burst into tears. I am so excited for all of you. I know this is a moment you've been waiting on & praying for over the past 10 or so days. God is truly working a miracle in that precious baby girl's life & is using her (and her Mommy & Daddy) in a mighty way! I'm continuing to lift all of you up in my prayers!

Praise God for the improvement! I know you are thrilled. God is using your difficult time to minister to people all across the world. Harper has no idea what a witness she is to God's mercy and healing. I know you will tell her all about it one day. I pray God continues to use her in mighty ways.
I know that I dont need to tell you but.......GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!
Harper is doing well and people are coming to know Him, WOW!!!!!!!

She is even more beautiful with those precious eyes wide open!
Oh, this made me cry! Her eyes are so beautiful and she knows exactly who you are!
Kelly--I've read your blog for a couple of months now but this is the first time I've commented. I am so INSPIRED by you and humbled to be your "friend." You are a light to the world and I just know that Jesus is so pleased with your life. I will continue to keep your sweet family in my prayers and continue to look for MIRACLES because of what God is doing through Harper. She is beautiful and is immeasurably blessed to have such a beautiful woman of God as her mommy.
I have never posted but have been praying feverently for beautiful baby Harper and the two of you...that being said this post made me cry tears of joy!!! I went through something similiar with my daughter and I *know* how emotional it can be and how every little improvement is HUGE!!! I'll continue to pray for complete healing and the day that baby Harper gets to be in the one place she belongs...your arms. :)
Kelly, I'm watching and following your blog everyday. I'm so excited to hear about Harper's improvement! Even better have been the news that 4 people have come to know Christ and accept Him as their Savior by following your blog. It literally brought me to tears seeing how God is using you and your sweet little girl for His glory.
We are praying for you and your precious family and all those parents and their babies in the NICU.
God Bless!!
Ashley
Kelly she is so sweet!! i love her eyes!! I could tell you were crying, your eyes were very puffy, but I'm so glad they are happy tears!! =) I love your attitude, keep shinning for Jesus in that NICU! God is working through you and little Missy!!
I checked your blog again for some random reason...and I began to sob. HALLELUJAH! She is 100 times cuter with her eyes open...didn't think that was possible. And I love the candid shots of you and Scott with her...I can see that you were crying...as would I. I cannot wait to hear about her continued progress!!!
Oh and after I got done reading I had to stop right then and update about you guys on my blog...HOW AWESOME!!!
Rejoice in the Lord, for He is Good. His mercy endures forever. God bless your family, and the beautiful little girl that we all pray shall be home soon!
Praise the Lord, give thanks to the Lord for He is GOOD! Ps 106:1
I'm so excited for you & how beautiful for you to see Harper's eyes open & her little toes moving around! Every one of them precious in His sight!
And more praise to the Lord for lives being changed as a result of Harper & your faithful testimony.
Continuing to pray for you all!
Praise God. Please let us all know if there is anything we can do for other NICU parents. This is such a witness to all those around you.
I am so happy you got to see harper's eyes. God is good all the time!
Grow Harper, grow- get stronger for your Mommy and Daddy.
So happy to hear of Harper's great progress! We continue to pray for you all and Jenna's bunch and all the NICU babies.
I am full of tears! I am so happy - praise God!!!! I will continue the prayers!!!
Ahhh there she is...Sweet Sweet Harper! Such a sweet photo of her holding Daddy's finger! Now can't wait to see a photo of Mommy cuddling her sweet Harper!
Yeah God! Thank you!
LOVED seeing her eyes! Thank you, Lord!
Continuing to pray in Seattle!
Lamentations 3:22-26 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

blessings to you and praying for Harper!
aaaawww! look at that beautiful girl! She looks alot like her daddy but has your eyes. She's a doll, I'm so glad she's getting better and I will continue to pray for all those in need of prayer.
I've been following your blog ever since I saw on Angie Smith's blog that Harper was in the NICU -- how exciting to log on tonight and see those beautiful eyes looking at her mommy:)
We will continue to pray for her to be completely healed.
WONDERFUL ! I can imagine how you felt when she opened her eyes ! Hope you will continue to REST even if you'd probably like to spend hours and hours just watching her move, just touching her little fingers !
Take care !
jo from France
I know you've been deluged with new posters but I read Angie Smith's blog and found you that way this past week.
1. I love your blog and have been praying for you and Harper and your dh. She is beautiful and the pictures of her sweet little eyes open today made me cry. What a blessing!
2. I grew up in the Tulsa area and though we are a military family we still call Oklahoma our "home" and can't wait to move back there. My niece was in the NICU at St. Francis for a bit and I'm glad to know Harper is in such a great place with wonderful people taking care of her. We are currently in South Carolina and not missing the ice storm you (and all of my family) is experiencing!
3. We went through 4+ years of infertility. God is Who kept me upright through that journey and I'm so thrilled to be able to say I have two wonderful gifts from heaven...Matthew age 7.5 (don't forget the half!) and Nathan who will be 3 in a couple of weeks. They are worth every moment of our journey to parenthood so I understand a lot of what you've gone through. From one mommy to another, congrats and I know you are enjoying being her mommy already. Isn't it indescribable? :)
4th and last, please know I will continue to pray for sweet Harper. Today is my birthday (geez I am 38 though I don't feel it!) and I will send many healing prayers from one January girl to another. :)
Bless you and yours. Stay warm and if you have time or need to get out..check out Hideaway Pizza at 51st and Sheridan...the original is in Stillwater where my husband and I went to school (OSU Cowboys..we bleed orange ;) and it's one of our favorite places to go to when we visit family.
Hugs and prayers!
Maddy
P.S. I just commented on your recipe blog..we share many of the same recipes! I just love the south!
Oh wow, I went to be after your last post last night and saw this moring the update!!! How fun to see those cute eyes! :)
Yeah!
Look at those big beautiful eyes! When I saw this, I screamed for my husband to come see, because we have been following your blog since Harper was born! I am so happy for you, so happy that Harper is getting better everyday! What amazing friends you guys have to send you such wonderful gifts. And I find it so amazing to hear that several people have been saved because of this! It gives me goosebumps thinking about it! We continue praying for baby Harper, you and Scott!
What a beautiful, sweet, and precious baby girl. I'm so happy for your family that she is doing so well. Praise the Lord!
Praise Him for the lives being saved.
I will pray for the NICU parents and twin babies you mentioned in your blog as well.
What a happy day!! She has beautiful eyes!! I think she looks very much like her mommy! She is beautiful!!
I pray for Harper every day and I enjoy to read all the positive updates! God really is working through Harper and you guys!!
I've been waiting on this post!!! I bet you are thrilled beyond belief to see those beautiful eyes. What a blessing! God is so good through the hard times. What a big step she is taking. Continuing to pray. Are those sweaters from Wal-mart? They're cute!
Praise God!!! I was so happy to see this update this morning :o) She has the prettiest eyes, it's so good to see them!
What beautiful eyes!! Hope and prayers that today is as good as yesterday. Have a blessed day!!
How exciting that Harper opened her eyes!
I'm crying....I can only imagine how you and Scott feel.
Such a miracle!
I'm so thankful and I appreciate the updates and pictures. I'm also so thankful you all are being blessed in so many ways. The greatest testimony is the salvation of the souls you mentioned. Awesome!
Love & prayers,
Valerie
I cried when I saw her eyes! She is beautiful! You never leave my prayers and I hope her stay is the hospital is not much longer!
Erin Allen
What a little miracle you have! How amazing for her to open her eyes and for her to see her Mommy and Daddy! I hope she continues to get better every day! The next step is to hold her in your arms! It's the best feeling in the world!
Praying in Indiana! :)
Oh, look at her eyes! What a wonderful moment! Praise the Lord!!!
Im so happy that you got to see her little eye peepers!!!

I'm so glad I checked your blog this morning! What a wonderful sight those sweet eyes are.
I'm glad she is continuing to do well...
A true miracle right before our very eyes!XOXO
My eyes welled with tears at her beautiful eyes... and I just have a heart that aches for you to hold your little girl, to have that moment every mother longs for (Dads too)... I'm continuing to uphold Harper to the Lord and thank Him for the glory He is receiving from this precious miracle!

Your latest post makes me so happy to read,you are so inspiring and your regular blogging is helping you guys, your baby and so many others. I worked with babies and their feeding at Ark. Children's Hospital when i was in grad school for speech therapy there..Nicu graduates and I know how difficult it must be when you see others taking care of your baby and you can't do all of it yourself right now. My prayers are with you!
Kristina Starnes Asheville, North Carolina (a friend of a few of your friends!)
Even though I knew you wouldn't have posted again last night, I had to check your blog this morning just so I could smile! I love the photos--Harper opening her eyes, and you and Scott with such huge loving smiles on your faces, so eager to be parents. I hope you all have a great day today.
Look at those beautiful eyes!
Awesome update!
Keeping her in my prayers.
Kelly,
Harper is so beautiful and such a blessing.
Thank you for sharing this time of your life with all of us who read your blog. You and Scott are amazing parents and you prove that God is Almighty!
I can not tell you how happy I was to see that little angel with her eyes open!! I know it has made my heart warm!!! God is soooo good!!!
It won't be long until you and Scott get to take her home! Praying that will happen soon!
What a little doll! So happy to hear she's moving and opening her eyes!! Thinking of you guys all the time...
I'm so glad Harper is improving daily! She has beautiful eyes! I'm still praying for you and your family.

We are still praying!!

Hi, I've been reading your blog for about 1 1/2 weeks. I found it through another blog I read. Anyway, I just wanted to say I was thrilled to see Harper's little eyes staring out, when I started reading this post. She is beautiful & I'm glad she's doing so well!
Take care!
Thank you, Lord, for answered prayer! I'm thrilled to know that sweet Harper is opening her eyes, moving those precious fingers and toes and is able to connect with her loving family a little bit more. We're all crying tears of joy right along with you! And we're rejoicing in the ways God is using this in the lives of others. Your faith is a wonderful example to all of us. But God's Grace is truly the miracle here!!! PTL!
I got teary eyed when I saw her eyes open. I know that must have been an amazing moment. You guys are amazing people and it's so neat to see how you have touched so many lives. I'm so happy Harper is doing better. Praise God!!!!!
gorgeous and sweet!!!!!! YAY HARPER!
Hi Kelly,
I check in pretty much every day to see how Harper is and how the family is doing. It's amazing to see so many people pouring out their prayers over you all. I feel blessed to be a part of it by adding my own prayers for continued improvement for Harper and peach for both you and Scott.
God's peace....
Mary-Austin
Her eyes are open!!! She's beautiful!!
My eyes filled with tears as soon as I saw the picture with her eyes open. God answers prayer! She's absolutely beautiful!
WE may never know "WHY" this side of heaven - though it seems she is a great witness!!! It sure does make you appreciate the "little" BIG things like a baby opening her eyes and gripping her daddy's finger! Praise Jesus!
I cried to, when I so her beautiful eyes. She is absolutely adorable:)
We pray for you all every day.
God bless you.

Sweet Kelly ~ I honestly do not know where to begin. I know I have not commented since Harper's birth, but I have been following her progress every step of the way. Honestly I had a feeling this morning you would see her beautiful eyes soon and you did. She is gorgeous...truly an inspiration to many. I pray for her and for your family throughout the day. So many of us love you, love Harper, and are looking forward to watching her story unfold!
I am so happy that she is opening her eyes. I hope you get to see a lot more of that today and that you get to hold her soon! I am still praying!!!
What a sweet baby girl! It's wonderful to see all her progress. And to see her eyes open; that's awesome! Praying from the Northwest!
Our son Seth was born having to fight as well...he spent 122 days in the NICU and endured almost 20 surgeries. He came into this world weighing 1 pound and 10 ounces and is now an outgoing, rambuctious 6 year old who loves everyone he meets. God still performs miracles because we get to wake up to one everyday. We will pray for your precious Harper just as so many prayed for our Seth. Prayers work and God is GOOD!! May God Bless you through this journey. Jason and Holly Hubbard
Wow! What a wonderful update! She has beautiful eyes and I know you were thrilled to be able to look into them. So glad people are blessing you with gifts and visits - what wonderful little pick-me-ups during the day and such a show of love! Still praying for Harper!
WHAT GREAT NEWS!!!! She is so beautiful! What a great day for all of you!!
Kelly I am so proud of your strength and I really hope the best for you and your family. I am praying that your little girl will grow strong and healthy and that you guys can be that happy family that you have wanted to be since you saw those two pink lines. Keep your chin up. You should be so proud of yourself and that beautiful baby!!
Your post update brought tears to my eyes! God is amazing. I am so happy she is doing well. Soon you will be holding her in your arms. I hope today is even better than yesterday. Every night after reading my 21 month old a story we pray for baby "awper"(Harper) as mt little girl says.
Natalie
Love the picture of Harper with her eyes open! That is so awesome Kelly!! I know that you and Scott must be so overwhelmed with joy! God definitely had a reason why all this happened! Still praying for you guys! I can't wait to see pictures of you holding that sweet baby!
I posted about your precious baby girl again today on my blog. What a beautiful miracle!
That picture of her with her eyes open is the sweetest picture ever. When I scrolled down to the next one and saw you looking at her I started crying. I am so glad she is doing so much better every day. We continue to pray for you and your family.
What beautiful eyes. I'm so glad to hear she is doing better. I continue to follow her progress and pray for all of you.
Oh she is just so beautiful! It is great to see her awake. I am praying for Harper and her precious family - you are on my mind constantly.
You are the strongest person I think I know (actually I am a lurker so I don't know you) I found your blog while reading blogs re: adoption from Russia. We have infertility and one sweet little boy (IVF) so I was hoping for a girl so we started our adoption and then it all just became overwelming so we cx'd it. My faith has never been so "Off" but reading your blog has to give one hope that there is a reason to all this. I am so happy that Harper is doing better, you and Scott are wonderful people and harper well be a blessing to many. Thank you. Trayce SA, TX
PRAISE GOD!
Still praying in Texas!
Crying happy tears with you,Kelly!
Wow! What an amazing update! Harper is just beautiful!! She is so precious with those sweet little eyes open. I cannot imagine how emotional you felt when you were able to see her look at you. What an incredible moment!
I know God must be so proud of you and your family. He has used Harper for His glory and that is simply amazing. You have never waivered, never asked why, and simply allowed Him to work in your lives and in others. What a testimony you guys have to share with so many people.
So, so, so happy for you! I will continue to pray that Harper gets stronger and healthier in the days ahead.
Meredith
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, SO GLAD SHE FINALLY GETS TO "SEE" HER WONDERFUL MOMMY AND DADDY. MY HEART IS WITH YOU AND I PRAY DAILY FOR YOUR SWEET LITTLE BABY HARPER...MUCH JOY TO YOU!
I was so happy to get on your blog and the first thing I see are those beautiful eyes wide open! That picture is greater than any words! So glad little Harper is progressing so much! She's beautiful!
I was praising Jesus this morning as I saw little Harper's eyes open. I've been praying for her and you since I learned of her birth. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
So exciting and such fantastic news! Harper is adorable! Still praying.....
Harper with her eyes open is the most beautiful sight. God bless you and your beautiful little girl. You will be holding her very soon.
I'm a Mother of 3 grown daughters and have kept up with her progress. What a beautiful "sight".
We will continue to pray as she gets stronger every minute.
Ohh... I have chills! She is SO pretty! I know y'all are thrilled and everyone else! Still Praying! Just love the pony onesie! :)
She's just beautiful! What a wonderful day!
I am soo happy things are going well for Harper. My daughter was born almost two years ago, she was fine and then we were being pushed to the next room and she started turning blue... next was 11 days in the nicu... I remember trying to will things to happen and then I just relaxed and realized that we were on Gods time and things would happen as they should. I had three others at home, so it was difficult... but just like you, I thought I knew everything about my husband and loved him more than life, but those 11 days I even grew to love him more... he was my rock, and for the kids at home. Just remember when you get home things will happen so quickly, take time to enjoy it, as I know this experience will change you for the rest of your life. God bless you all!
Michelle from South Bend, IN
Praise the Lord, He is so good! Those angel eyes are sweet as can be!

Praise the Lord, oh my soul...Praise the Lord!
Kelly-
Praise GOD for saved souls! Little Miss Harper has had more of an impact on this world in her short time here than she will ever know! :) Sweet girl will have quite a testimony someday.
I teared up when I saw her eyes open.
Praise the Lord, the giver of all good things!
Still praying,

She is so beautiful Kelly! Words cannot describe how happy I am for you & your family & that Harper is improving day by day. She is surely an angel sent from above. We all love you & baby Harper!

I am so glad to hear you got to look into her eyes! AMAZING! I think everyone in Arkansas is praying for your little Harper. One of my best friends, Sayward, is Baby Brayden's NICU nurse. I have been praying so much for these little ones. Because of your blog I just want to go visit all the babies in the NICU and pray with them. And your experience makes me appreciate ever second I have with my little girl. (she's 16weeks). I just wanted you to know how you have touched my heart! I pray everyday is better than the last one!

Kelly,
A friend of mine referred me to your blog and I read through your entire blog last night. What an inspirational story! I know that God has a plan for little Harper and that you and your husband are doing HIS will by putting your trust and faith in him. Our prayers are with you and your sweet little girl and I hope she continues to improve each and every day!
Our God is an awesome God He reigns!!! What an amazing feeling to be able to look into your child's eyes! What a blessing- we are praying hard in Alabama!

Great is Thy faithfulness! Wow! Praise the Lord! I am so excited to see her awake. What an amazing example of faith you are. I am so thankful that God is allowing you to see good come from this so quickly. Still praying your little girl home!
Crying tears of joy with you! So happy she is awake. Praising Jesus!
I seriously got choked up on that 2nd picture. My first was in NICU for a week, but it wasn't anything like your situation. I can't even imagine what you and Scott are feeling right now, but having Christ makes things bearable. I went to sleep last night praying for Harper and you and Scott. I pray more people come to know Jesus as Savior thru this.
God bless you all!
I don't always leave a message but I am constantly reading updates, praying and praising the LORD along the way.
Our GOD has a divine purpose for Harper and your family. Using this situation to bring people to Christ is part of that divine purpose. What a special little girl you have.
God bless you.
I cannot tell you what joy it brought me to see Harper's beautiful eyes. Just a fraction, though, of the joy you and Scott surely felt.
We will continue to pray! Love from Tennessee!

Oh my goodness...What beautiful eyes!!! Congrats on the progress, prayers will continue to be lifted up from Cordova, TN!
AWESOME GOD!! That's the only thing I can think of right now.....I'm SO happy Harper's improving. I know your little body and hers have been through so much lately. It'll be a precious day when you can take her out of that room in your arms! Prayers continued...
AMAZING!!! God is SO great! I am so happy for you all... I will continue praying every day for her and for you! You are wonderful parents :)
Kelly! I had tears in my eyes when I saw Harper had her eyes open! PRAISE GOD!!!!! She is doing so well and she is BEAUTIFUL! I'm still praying for all of you!!!
Love you!

SO HAPPY for you Kelly!!! Continued prayers for you from NC!
Love,
Wendy & Grace
Just amazing!! Look at those beautiful eyes!! I'm so happy for your family :) God is SO good!!
Absoutly breathtaking........
I'm praying for Harper and your family! I know how hard it is not to be able to hold your new baby! Please ask the nurses if you can do so. Now that Harper is on a regular ventilator I think you should be able to! I know sometimes babies can be overstimulated but even if it's only for a few mnutes it will help you as much as Harper! Many Blessings - Mary Beth
She is so gorgeous. I am so happy to hear of the great progress that she is making. I am praying for you to remain healthy and for Harper.
hi kelly
at the moment i am in a dusty internet cafe in Amman, Jordan as i am traveling. i wanted to check in and see how Harper was doing. i have read from time to time your blog and want to let you know there are people in Jordan praying for your little girl. blessings on you and your family.
What a beautiful miracle! My heart dropped when I saw her eyes open! I can't imagine the way you must feel! You are a strong woman- I think a great role model to Harper!!
PS I made your lemon pepper chicken dinner last night- it was a huge hit! So yummie!
