Lilly Brie Knox
Our precious Angel was born October 26, 2007 and she past October 27, 2007. She weighed 4 lbs, 8 oz and she was 17 inches. We spent 6 precious hours with her. She has left her little footprints on our hearts forever!
The Specialist wanted us to have an amniocentisis, which is where they take a long needle and draw fluid that the baby is in, to run tests to see if the baby has a chromosome disorder. We were so confused and scared. The Specialist also told us that if we were to get a abortion that they would support our decision. Not beleiving in taking a childs life, our decision was very easy.. Lilly deserved to live. Why would we take a blessing?!
We decided that we would go ahead and have the amnio, expecting that nothing was really wrong. I was at work when the specialist called with the results. She said that the amnio results werent good, that Lilly has what they call Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18).
The next day, I went back to the specialist to hear all about babies that are born with this condition. The specialist said that 50% of the babies born live to be 5 months old, 95% of another study live the day thier born, another 10% live to see

A Prayer for Intentional Friendships and Connection at a New Church - Your Daily Prayer - May 25
When we finally decided to make the change and find a new church, we sat down to talk about the things we were looking for. My heart felt grief wash over again. Aside from wanting a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching church, at the top of my list was wanting a church that desired to truly know its people.
