Most of you have seen this painting that is hanging in Harper's nursery. It is the verse I prayed as we tried to get pregnant with Harper and what we claimed after we were. This verse now means even more to me as we watch the miracle of Harper's healing.Today has been the best day ever. I think it's probably better than my wedding day!
Harper has done SO well today. Scott told her yesterday that he would buy her a pony if she would just try to breathe on her own ........so someone is going to have to break the news to Dawson that not only are we getting a baby but a horse too. :-)
We started off the day at 80% oxygen. Right now she is at ........
57%!!!!!!
She is breathing half on her own! I have smiled all day long! We are SO excited!
We still have a long road here but she has turned the corner!
We had another sweet group of visitors today - thank you for all of you who came!!!
This is Harper's other day nurse, Karen. We love her too! Thanks to all the nurses for taking such good care of our sweet girl!
Scott's parents are so helpful to us - they went and did our laundry today. We are so blessed to have our families with us to support us.
We got this beautiful fruit bouquet today - thank you so much to the Woods in NE!!! What an amazing gift!
Look at these cute cookies!!!!!!! I love them - I don't think I can handle eating them - they are so precious - one says "welcome Harper" - thank you Laurie, Linda, Sunni and Tiffany - ya'll are SO sweet - I can't thank you enough!
Isn't this the cutest thing ever???? This sweet girl, Jen, came to see me on Monday and she came back today and brought me this necklace! I love it so much and I'm thinking I'll wear it pretty proudly!!!!So many of you have asked for an address where you can send things. Really - we don't need anything - we are SO blessed. All we need is your prayers. But if you need an address - this is probably best:
Harper Stamps
EOPC
St. Francis Hospital
6161 S Yale Avenue
Tulsa, OK 74136
Thank you for your prayers - God has been so good. Please keep praying for little Brayden and for the other babies in NICUs.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 346 of 346 Newer› Newest»I found your blog through a link on a friends facebook page. Harper's sweet pics speak to my heart - You see, I have a Harper, but her name is Alison. In 2006 she spent 4 mos in NICU in Baton Rouge. It was a scary time, but we had a peace and believed that God had promised a complete healing - and he did! Ali is now a normal 2 yr old with NO evidence of her rough start. God can & will do SO MUCH MORE than we can imagine! We truly believe he worked through prayer warriors from our church family & through complete strangers that visited her site. Please try to take a sec to just look at her pics (I know how hectic your life is right now). I pray they will encourage you on this journey. You have already come so much further than we had at this stage - congrats on great O2 levels! I am praying for a quick & easy reduction of nitric (Ali held onto hers like a safty blanket). Praying for you & your testimony through your blog!
In Christ, Stephanie Rogers

Fabulous news!!!! Yay, Harper!!!!
You, go, girl.
We are so happy to hear this wonderful news! When my fiance comes home from work everyday, the first thing he says is "How is the baby?" as if we know you guys or something! haha... And we always check before bed and this is just awesome news!!! Keep it up, Miss Harper!
Oh and P.S. we are in Kentucky, so when y'all need help finding a pony, just let us know:)
Hooray! You had better build a stable:)
Kim
This just makes me day - 57%!!!!! She is doing SO well!!! You must have told her about her closet - right?!?
Doing the happy dance for Harper! Thank you, Lord!
Great to read your wonderful news!
That pendant is precious!
HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY!!!!!!!!

I LOVE that Harper girl! I am ecstatic about this WONDERFUL news!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that necklace!
Way to go Harper!! You're doing a great job being a very brave girl & slowly but surely getting better. Your family sure can't wait to snuggle with you, and dress you up in frills! Keep getting better because your Mommy & Daddy need these happy days with lots of encouragement. Thinking of you guys as all these thoughts and prayers are making you all better!
~Annette & William :)
Our God is an Awsome God! It's so good to read such wonderful updates. We continue pray for you, Miss Harper and your family here in Texas.
The tears are flowing here!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still praying for her to get home!
This is my favorite post you have ever written!!!!
AWESOME AWESOME news Kelly!!! I'm going to bed with a great big smile on my face and thanking God for the day.
Love,
Fran
Hi Kelly - I had to check your blog one last time before bed and I am so glad I did! 57% - that is awesome. By morning she could very well be at 40%. It gives me chills to watch God work miracles in little Harper's life. PTL! I am still lifting your family and all babies up in prayer! Thanks for taking time to update so often. You have a huge group of prayer warriors :) Take care of yourself! Hugs Monelle, Baytown, TX
Kelly,
I just wanted to let you know that I have been following your pregnancy since Kim W. did your painting and that I have started a prayer chain in TN for little Miss Harper and I just know that God will heal her so that you and Scott can take that little sweetie home to her oh so sweet nursery where all of her pretty bows and dresses await her!
God is so good and I am so thankful for the news of the day! Please know that we are sending up tons of prayers!
Love,
Holli
Praise indeed! Harper is beautiful!
Oh, Kelly, what wonderful news! I'm jumping up and down with excitement....God sure does know how to do that, huh? And what sweet gifts you and Harper are receiving!
Glad to see that y'all picked up on the successful "tool of redirection" (aka bribery) so early, I thought it might take till Harper was a toddler. ;-) I like to say, "whatever works". In all seriousness, we are continuing to pray for sweet little Harper Brown. Way to go, sweet girl!
All I can think of signing when reading this is Amazing Grace!!
Praise God Praise God!
Will be praying she makes it home soon and you can finally hold her soon!
Kristie
Kelly, I am so happy for you. You have a lot of loving people around you. Wishing you all the best.
Praising HIM with you and your family. So very thankful for so many answered prayers.
Your sweet smile says it all!
Your friend Jamie sure is talented too!
Blessings tonight and always,
Kaye
Matthew 21:22
So happy to see more amazing news tonight! Go Harper! Praying for her continued recovery!!
Stacie in Los Angeles
God has continued to prove Himself through sweet Harper!
Praise Him!! What a testimony you all have, and a wonderful testimony Harper will be able to carry with her through her entire life!
I check everyday hoping for good news, and this is great news! I'm so glad she's improving. Continuing to pray for her. I hope you're having a better day today, Kelly, and more to come!
Yay! Yay! Yay! I'm sooooooo excited! God is so good! This baby girl is going to have a testimony! I'm thinking you look the best you have all week, too! Harper will be so cute riding that pony around your neighborhood!!Ha! Still praying!
glad to hear she is doing good!
Yay for Harper breathing like a "big girl!" She's in our daily prayers.
Kelly- How do you look so darn cute after all you've been through. Praise God for this news and thanks for the address!
So glad that you got good news today!! Continuing to pray in Georgia!
Kelly & Scott, how wonderful! My baby girl has virtually the same story, she is 9 now! Prayer is so powerful and I know this to be true. God is good and you are an amazing couple. I know follow your father's blog as well, what an inspirational family you are. Love and peace be with you!
Shasta (bergdorf blondes)
I have been away all day and upon returning home tonight, I am so thrilled with the wonderful news about Harper. I'm so glad that she has turned the corner. Just think, hopefully she will be opening her eyes soon and taking a look at her awesome Mom and Dad and everyone else who loves her so much. She is one lucky little girl! And hasn't it been so nice for you all to have such caring friends to come and see you in the hospital to help pass the time and show their love to you? And to think that a lot of these friends don't even know you personally. God is so good. Love & blessings!
Yes, get the pony and ANY thing else that little wonder wants! I think she is holding out for a car at 16!!! ha ha ha
Harper Brown Stamps-you are AMAZING! I have thought of you all day. My 5yr old asked about you immediately when I picked her up from Pre-K, and I check your mommy's blog, here often just waiting with such joyful anticipation for good news like today.
Hold the hand of our Lord tightly, and do your thing little one. You are doing super great! We know you can do it!
I don't know your mommy personally, but I can see from her smile in photos that she loves you with all of her heart and soul. She will be your best pal FOREVER! This is from a mommy of two little girls...I KNOW the beauty of this love.
Praying for you tonight.
Nighty, Night little girl!
Kelli <><<
That is wonderful news!! I came across your blog only recently and I think about you and your little Harper every day and anxiously await your blog updates to hear how she is doing. Thinking of Harper often. God Bless!
I needed to check on Harper just one more time before going to bed and, of course, now I'll never be able to go to sleep. The smiling and Praising God will keep me awake. Awesome news, Kelly...thanks for sharing!!!
It's amazing to be able to watch God at work. We are so happy for you and Scott. I'm sure there will be many more smiles to come and we will keep praying, -- Anna
"How great is our God...sing with me How great is our God!" So happy to read the great news. Still praying for all of you!
I am overcome with joy for you guys! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
It is wonderful to see God's answer to prayer. I am so happy to hear of Harper's progress! He is awesome!
Julie
Oh my goodness! That is my life verse also! I am so glad to hear a great report :). We are still praying here in NC.
Praise to God for his unending blessings! He is doin ag reat work in Harper and she is causing great work in so many. I can't even imagine how excited and blessed you feel with her progress and I think you should plan that pony soon...... or how about a llama instead! No biting or bucking.
Still praying for Harper and all the NICU babies.
I check for updates several times a day and this is just wonderful news! I will be passing it on to the rest of my family that is also now praying for Harper here in Oregon. I can't wait to see the pictures to come of her eyes open and in her parents' arms!
What wonderful news! It's so nice that you have so much support, I can imagine it makes it just a little bit easier to know you have so much support! I love that necklace!
God Bless
SarahJ.
Go Harper Go, Go Harper Go, Go Harper Go!! She's gonna wanna make me paint my face brown and pink and put lime green bows in my hair and do back flips, boy that would be a sight! I am so excited...I will keep cheering and praying for you baby Harper and I can't wait to see the "Big Guns" brings 'em on Sister!
OH, and that little monkey in that painting is gonna be her next year, hanging from your chandelier! HA! Just you wait!
Kelly,
All of this is so amazing. These things are happening for a reason. Doesn't God work in the most mysterious ways?!
We will surely always pray for Harper- it seems like a habit now- you know how you just always say certain things when you pray like AMEN? It seems to natural to pray for her and your family. You'll always be on my prayer list!
God is blessing you!
Kelly!! That is wonderful news!!! Harper loves her mommy and daddy and I'm pretty sure will do just about anything for them :) Plus, she gets a pony!! (maybe a stuffed one to start out with :) haha. I'll keep saying my prayers! I'll watch your updates and probably come back by monday :) Oh, and the bow....she loves her dresses and bows..already! xoxo
If it weren't after midnight and there were others asleep, I think I would scream at the top of my lungs. This is just the BEST news! I am so thankful that Harper has turned the corner and that she is continuing to improve. It's funny (not literally funny) that you posted a pic of the painting in her nursery, because I was thinking about that verse earlier & how it applies so much to all you've been through. May God continue to bless all of you! I look forward to more posts like today's! Also, thank you for posting an address! I've been wanting to ask, but didn't know who to ask.
Love & Prayers,
Jennifer H.
Greenville, SC
I just love it when God reveals Himself in such a mighty way that everyone around can't help but give Him ALL credit! This news just made my night!
My daughter the other night when praying for y'all called her "Harpen", I said, "No honey, the only one harpen' is satan because God is performing another of His miracles!" :)
This is amazing news!!! I've been telling everyone I see to read your blog and say their prayers. I tell them how inspiring your faith is to me!!! Thank you as always!
That's great news! still praying!
She's so beautiful you are blessed!
Hi Kelly!
I just found your blog and am hooked. We have tons of similarities: I'm due February 13 (a girl!), and my grandparents live in Arkansas (my grandfather was the Razorback chaplain for 40 years...go HOGS!). I am thinking about you and your sweet baby girl. I know there's no way you could possibly have time to look at my blog, but know that I am praying huge blessings on your family. Lots of love!
Ashley L.
Praise the Lord!!!!! What wonderful news!! I am so happy for you and will continue to pray for more days like today!!
Praise God! Reading your blog this morning gave me a spring in my step! We continue to pray for you all remembering to thank Him for prayers answered! Here's praying for the best week-end ever, sweet eyes lookiing at her Mummy and Daddy! Sending love as always from South Africa!
x
So happy that your sweet baby is doing better with her oxygen. Keeping you in our prayers.
We are so thrilled to hear that baby Harper is doing better! We will keep the prayers coming! Hugs, Jill
I just happen upon your blog tonight. I have a grand daughter named Harper too! She is 4 years old.
Your little Harper is in my prayers!
Love, Ann
Kelly~ what wonderful news for ya'll today. God is so good and what a miracle He has done in that precious baby.
Still praying for everyone and for more good days like today!!
SOOO glad to hear she is doing better!!
Still in my prayers!
(Had to erase my first comment! Too many errors! Ha! It's late!)
Just stopping in before I go to bed! And I want to shout some Praises to God but I’ll wake the family!!
Oh Lord, you are SO GOOD!!! Thank you for what you are doing in and through Harper and her precious family!!
Kelly I love how you are documenting all of this on your blog for your future reference. You are absolutely precious!

God is so good!! Praise Jesus that baby Harper is doing so well. We are continuing to lift up prayers in Chicago.
Thrilled that she did so well today!
Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers so very much!
John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

That's one tough little girl you have! Your family will be in our thoughts as Harper continues her recovery. And a pony? My goodness, that's some big incentive! hehe
Praise the Lord. This news is the perfect way to end my day. Still praying for the pretty girl and her mommy and daddy.
Wonderful news. It really makes my day to wake up, read your blog with my coffee and know that there are such great improvments. WTG Harper!
I did have to giggle about the pony!! WTG holding out fo that Harper :)
Isn't Gods work great!
Halleluja! I am so glad that she has improved so much and I pray that you may look into her eyes very soon. God bless!
Praise the Lord for He is good!!
I am so happy for you.
As a NICU nurse I know what a big deal it is to go from 100% to 57% oxygen! Yay for your sweet baby girl :)
I always put bows on my NICU patients too...even the boys. haha just kidding :) Only the sweet girls!
You can do it Miss Harper!!
Kelly, I write with tears in my eyes. She is an absolute doll. Every day is a gift from him, may we all remember that whether we are in ICU or not. She is going to make it! She is going to make it! She is going to make it! My friend here Tiffany was in NICU for 2 months and is now bearing her 5th child. May Harper grow to be strong! You look good, Kelly, keep taking care of yourself. Keep pumping if you can, it'll be worth it. (I know you feel like a cow hooked to a machine, hang in there!!!) -me
OH MY GOSH, that's is amazing news! I was so happy to read this today and I'm so happy that Harper is getting better daily! Praise God for his miracles! My husband I continue to pray for you all daily!
Praise the Lord. God is good:D

Hi Kelly! I'm sooo happy to read the latest update on Harper. She is a beautiful baby girl and I pray for you all everyday!! (I read your blog ALL the time have have since you found out you were pregnant, but this is my first comment...)
Glad to hear things are better. Isn't faith such a beautiful thing? Prayers always!! Have a blessed day!!
Praise God!! What a wonderful update it has made my day!! We will keep on praying!
That is such great news!! and - LOL - bribery is an amazingly useful tool with children!
That is SUCH wonderful news, Kelly! It feels so good to see the power of our prayer and the Glory of our God. I'll continue to pray for Harper and all of the other babies in NICU's everywhere. Congratulations, Harper's Mommy!
I am so happy! This good news made my day. Harper will look beautiful on her pony one day:)
PRAISE GOD!!! Thank you Jesus. I'm so excited for you, Kelly. I had been praying for you and lifting your baby up in prayers. May Jesus continue to hold her hand on the road to recovery.
Wonderful news!!! I have been reading your blog since Harper's birth. 57% is awesome!!! I am an OB nurse with some experience with NICU babies. I was so baffled with the fact that Harper was having such a hard time weaning off the O2 that I picked my pediatrician friend's brain at lunch on Thursday. It was driving me crazy. I guess what I learned was everything happens in God's time, not ours, a lesson well learned!! A lesson that your family has been living by since sweet Harper's birth. Continued praises for progress coming your way. Take care of yourself as well, Kelly. ( That's the OB nurse in me!!) God Bless. Angie in IN
Kelly, every time I read an update on your blog about Harper, my skin tingles with goosebumps. God is so amazingly good! And none of this has caught Him by surprise. He knew you'd have the support that you have.
Thanks for posting the address..as I was reading, I was thinking..I've got to find an address!
Many more blessings to you!
Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him. I am so excited to hear Harper is doing so well. Still praying!
Thanks so much for sharing your good news today! It is such a blessing to follow your story and see what great things God is doing in your lives! Such a joy to see Harper getting better everyday. I have no idea how you find the time or energy to keep us all posted but I really do appreciate it!
This is the day that the Lord has made. We WILL rejoice and be glad in it!
I stumbled across your blog yesterday, and just wanted to extend my well wishes to you and Harper. Sounds like there are 1000s of earthly angels saying prayers for your family :)
I am so happy for you and the blessings that God is pouring down on your family! You are a very strong person and it seems that the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree. What a powerful woman little Harper will grow to be. Congradulations so far. I will continue to pray for Harper and all of the other sweet babies there and across the globe.
Great news! I look forward to checking back in later today and getting another great update. You're looking great, too, Harper's Mommy!
Continued love and prayers,
Kelly in Georgia
I am so happy! In no time you will be holding that precious baby girl and she will be looking into your eyes. She is proof of the power of prayer and miracles!

This post brought praise to my lips, goosebumps to my arms and tears to my eyes.
What a cute necklace by the way.
Oh, Scott had better keep his word on the pony! :) I have had my horse for 22 years - and a girl and her horse are special indeed...
Oh, the great things He hath done!
Wonderful news.
You're gonna get to give Harper tons of hugs & kisses soon.
Oh, don't know if you keep up with Carrie from Buzzings of a Queen Bee but she's is/was in labor as of the 22nd. No update on her blog yet.(If you already know sorry.)
God is SO Good! We continue to pray for Harper and all of y'all!
His peace & blessings~ Rebecca Butcher
I've been checking your blog first thing every morning, and almost made my kids late for school today trying to catch up on all the great things God did for Harper yesterday. PRAISE GOD!
I am so glad to hear that Harper continues to improve!
God Bless!
oh that little harper...so stinking cute and precious!! and doing so well! those NICU nurses become fam, don't they? i'm so glad things are heading up hill...and the pony! so funny!
When I first saw Harper I thought, "Oh she looks just like our own Chunky Monkey's". Our girls were also big. God is good...all the time.
Hooray for Harper! Thank you, God!!!
PTL!!!!! I am soooooo excited and happy for you all! That is such wonderful news! It won't be long and you'll be dressing her in all those cute monogrammed things! Also, how cute is that chubby little face going to be in a hat?!!!!
I am so glad to hear that she is breathing half on her own!! That is such exciting news. I don't think I have commentedon your blog before, but I have been following for a while and wanted to let you know that I am thinking of your and your family. I can't wait to hear all the other great news you will be receiving!!
Awesome news!! Praising God for His healing.
Kelly,
That is so exciting!!! I know that you can't wait to finally be able to hold Harper in your arms, with no oxygen!! God is so faithful! Still praying!
Ashley
Way to go Harper! She's half way to room air! Keep up the good work.
From one NICU mom to another, take it day by day.
Much love and prayers coming your way,
Amy P. (and my Two Little Monkeys)
I am so happy that she is going well! Keep up the good work Harper, we are all praying for you!
Hello! I stumbled upon your blog a week ago and just wanted to let you know that I've been praying for Harper. Congrats! She is beautiful!
What an amazing family you are! Your strength and faith is such an inspiration. I think about Harper everyday and wonder how she is doing. I am so glad that she is getting better, God is so amazing! Thank you for letting us in with you on this journey, Harper and Brayden are in my prayers!
YAY!!! It felt so good to see such good new here today!! I can only imagine how happy you must be!!! God is so good!! I will continue to pray the Harper does even better today!!!
Praise God! This is such fantastic news and so quickly! I am over joyed for you both. I started reading your dad's blog yesterday and what a great dad and friend to have. And his work on the changing table is incredible! He'd better get it painted, that cutie girl is coming home and going to need it!
It is Friday morning and I wanted to share this scripture that was in my daily study. I thought of Kelly and Jenna and thought this was meant for both of you.
Isaiah: 40: 29
He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak.
Heavenly Father, we know that Kelly and Jenna are tired and worn out, and we know both the precious babies are weak and need your strength. I pray your word believing that you will give power to the families and strength to the sick. In Jesus Name, AMEN
Have a great day.
Kelly,
I wanted you to know that I was praying for you and Harper and your husband. I stumbled upon your blog through a fellow blogger friend of mine Laura Graham. I am a pediatric nurse at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville and have a 9 month old daughter. Your strength is amazing and I will be praying that God continues to heal Harper so that she can be home with you one day very soon!

Dear Kelly - I know it may be some time before you read this because of all that you are going through right now, but I just wanted to leave you a little word of encouragment. Your baby girl is so precious and she has a special place in my heart because my maiden name is Harper. I always wanted to name one of my kids that, but it just didn't work out. I am praying for that sweet little girl every day and I am praising God for each postitive update you send out. I was recently blessed to be able to support my best friend through her twins' stay in a NICU for a week. They were born at 35 weeks, so they just needed a little help to get their lungs matured and they are at home now. Praise God! I do know how overwhelming that area can be, but it sounds like you have some wonderful nurses and doctors taking care of Harper which helps to ease the anxiety. Keep on praying and staying positive - I hope Harper is home and well SOON!
How awesome is our God!!! Way to go Harper you keep on improving sweet little girl!!
Still Praying for all the family!
Priscilla, in North Missouri
That is so awesome that she is at 57%!! I prayed all day yesterday that it would lower more!! I will keep praying! You will have that girl home in no time!
This is my first time to comment. You and Harper have been in my prayers for the last several days. God is good all the time. He is the ultimate healer. Praying from Alabama!
Faith
Praise God!!!!I am so glad that God's healing hand is at work in Harper's life. Praying for God to continue healing her and for encouragement for you and Scott. Thank you so much for posting an address where we can send cards.
Much love,
Elyse Shirley
Congrats on such a wonderful day. Many prayers that they will only continue to get better!
You have prayers coming your way from Baltimore too. I am so glad she turned that crucial corner.
Praise God! He's a God of miracles!!
Hi Kelly
I am from the northeast and I just wanted you to know that I have been praying for Harper since I saw this link on audreycaroline's website. You are in my prayers and I am hopeful for a quick recovery! God healed my sister's baby just like He is healing Harper! Now THAT'S a great physician!
Abby
I haven't posted a comment yet, but I've been following your story all week long. We are still praying with you guys and believing for a total and complete healing for your sweet little Harper. Thank you so much for you updates. God is so good!
YAY!! The news keeps getting better and better everytime I check in. You keep fighting sweet Harper and we'll keep praying!
I stumbled upon your blog a week or two ago and I have been checking in for updates. I have been praying for you and was moved to tears today to hear your little angel is improving. GOD IS GOOD!! Blessings and more prayers to you.
~Dannielle
Wonderful news!! God is good! Continuing to pray for your precious baby in NC.
Praise God!!! And thanks for keeping us all updated. I have been and will continue to pray for you and your husband and Harper. So glad to hear the good news.
Praise God! I am very excited to hear that Harper is doing better & breathing on her own half-way! Love the story about Scott & the pony. He may regret that in a few years! Keep up the positive- God will see you through this!
Praying in Texas-
Sarah
Praise God!!! Prayer is so powerful!!!
I AM more than excited for you guys and Harper! That is AWESOME news, it's just getting better everyday....gosh, I feel like packing the kids up and heading over to Tulsa...we just live 2 hours away. I wanna come hug you guys and see that sweetheart! I've got my daughter's b-day party to get ready for ....
So, happy for Harper!
Oh Kelly, I'm so thrilled about this good news. God is in the business of healing us. I continuely pray thru out my day at work for Harper. Psalms 14:1 says "There is no God",how can anyone really belive that?????? Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for & certain of what we do not see", there is allot of people praying for Harper & I belive we do have the faith for her healing, & Hebrews 10:23 says "Let us hold onto confession of our hope without wavering for he who promised is faithful". God's glory is shining thru sweet little Harper, Scott & you. May God give you the rest & strength you need to do what you have to do each day,I don't understand why you guys are having to go thru this but God does, his glory & your love is shining thru you all, love & hugs...Karen Barnes= Jessica M's mommy.
Happy Anniversary Steve and Judy. We hope this continues to be a special day for you and your family as well as one filled with many miracles.
God is SOO good. I am praying for Harper and all of her family! She has improved so much and will continue to I know. Bless you all!
I am so happy to hear about Harper! We pray everytime we think about you which is often. Even the kids are praying! I am amazed how this is all working out for you. I read your dad's blog yesterday about the baby he prayed for. He is so right, all of this is for the Glory of God. I can't even begin to imagine how many people and lost souls you and Harper have touched since her birth last week. Including me! I am overwhelmed with the love and support you have received! You are truly blessed and I am blessed to be able to call you my friend! Love you Kelly!
Still praying,
Cheridyth
I just recently came across your blog and have been keeping up with Harper's progress, as well as praying. I had to laugh about your husband promising her a pony if she would breathe on her own. Our daughter spent her first 4 days in the NICU, and while her condition was nothing like Harper's, I remember my husband promising her a convertible when she turned 16 if she would just get better. Girls are great at getting their Daddies wrapped around their finger early one. :)
Just wanted to say we are praying for your sweet girl (your story touched me because my youngest daughter is named Harper as well)
Courtney, Scott, Logen, Tanner and Harper
Kelly,
I am praying for you and am with you in spirit. Please know that I will think of you and little Harper each moment of the day. She is in good hands. Just remember, slow and steady wins the race. She will come around to breathing on her own, soon. I wish I could be there with you and give you a huge hug. We will be checking in to see how she is doing eac day.
Praying for you a little Harper often.
Love,
Sara
Just have to ask were you have bought that beautiful dress you are wearing in this pictures!? And ofcourse i´m praying for beautiful Harper!
I am so glad to hear Harper is continuing to do better each day! I was wondering - where did you get that adorable painting for the nursery. I have a friend who will be having a little girl in May that it would be a perfect fit for.
Continuing to send hugs and prayers from Montana,
Mandi
