Somewhat Frustrated

We got up this morning and began to pack up to leave tomorrow to head back to Memphis. We were pretty excited about getting back there. WHen we got to the hospital, we received some discouraging news. It seems that Baptist East changed their minds about how long they wanted us to wait to be transferred after an RSV exposure. They originally told us 10 days (today would be day 10). Today they told the doctor they wanted to wait 2 weeks. That means our transfer has been delayed AGAIN! As of right now, we are scheduled to go on Friday. Please pray that this happens before we all have to be admitted to the mental health hospital in Hattiesburg!

We are somewhat frustrated but very glad that there is nothing wrong with Anniston. She is having a pretty good day today! I am sitting in the waiting room watching the Miami/FSU game because I only have 2 channels! I was supposed to go to the game but Anniston decided to interrupt those plans. I think she needs a spanking!!!

PLEASE DON'T SPANK THE BABY! HER DID NOT MEAN TO SPOIL YOUR PLANS. LOL!

HEY GUYS! I KNOW IT IS FRUSTRATING HAVING TO STAY A FEW MORE DAYS THAN YOU PLANNED ON BUT THIS JUST MEANS SHE WILL BE THAT MUCH STRONGER TO MAKE THE LONG TRIP. SHE HAS ENCOURAGE ME SO. SHE IS SO TINY YET SO STRONG. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR HER TO ARRIVE. WE WILL ALL BE WAITING WITH OPEN ARMS FOR HER AND YOU GUYS TO GET TO MEMPHIS.

LOTS OF LOVE,

She is so beautiful! I love the picture of Joni holding her precious baby. One day Joni will hold her precious Anniston in her lap and tell her the story of her birth. She will say "Mommy was I really that tiny?" And a couple more days in Hattiesburg will be a far away memory! You will make it home! Hold tight and know God is sparing you from something...maybe a sick baby at Baptist East! Praise Him for the delay! We love you and in consistent conversation with our Lord for your precious one!

Todd and Joni, I love that picture of them, WOW! Brayden will get you for his picture! Know that there are many a prayers going up for Anniston. The trials will come, but the battle will be won! Your family is in the midst of winning the battle. God is there and He is doing what He thinks is best. I agree that maybe there is a child here that Anniston does not need to be around, yet. This does give her more time to get sronger and heal from this infection that she has. Will be prayer that it is gone soon and that All of your travels are safe. We love you all,
