I will have some fun R pictures soon, but I wanted to give an update for everyone. Seriously, we are humbled and overwhelmed with all the prayers, supports, kind words, cards, calls, etc from the last few days. It is SO obvious for me personally that I am prayed over by many because I am doing so much better than I would have ever dreamed! Totally a God thing. Of course, this whole thing may never really sink in fully, but we're getting through this first phase thanks to God's grace and the graciousness of our friends and family. Thanks so much!!!
We did get a call LATE Friday saying that the amnio test results came back fine... with no signs of chromosomal issues to worry about at this point. So, THANK YOU GOD FOR GOOD NEWS! First hurdle down! I'm glad to have that news behind us so I can focus on going forward. It seems like we have lots of research to do and lots to think about in a pretty short time coming up, so thanks in advance for following us through this journey. More later... thanks again everybody!

I told Sage we needed to pray for your baby girl Brooklyn, bless her little heart she's called her Berkley about 4 times now. She's combining our babies' names!
What an answer to prayers! Your faith is astonishing! We will keep praying!

Jodi,
Wow, I just read your story about what is going on with sweet Brooklyn. My heart aches for you and what you are going through. We will definitely be praying for you, your family and complete healing for Brooklyn. We firmly believe in God's healing hand and I believe it for Brooklyn. I feel like our situations are similar in many ways and I would love to talk with you. Know that we will be praying for you, thank you for sharing and I'm so glad you got some good news!
So glad that your test came back fine and so quickly!! Your Faith and strength through this is such a great Christian example of how we should cast our worries on Him. That was our lesson in class this morning and I thought about you...prayer is the only way to get through anything. We will continue to keep you in our prayers!!
Tracy wrote us on vacation and told us the news. I went straight to your blog and promptly began saying prayers. You and your family are in our constant prayers. We will keep reading the blog to find out the latest news. We love you!! Clay and Dayla
Y'all are sure in our prayers. So glad for the good news from the amnio results.
I am just catching up on your blog and want you to know that I will be praying for you and your family! I am so glad to hear that your amnio results came back fine! Let me know if there is any way that I can help you. I don't live that far away!
Brooklyn is already allowing her light to shine bright and she's not even out of the womb. She's allowing us to see the works of our Father and allowing us to grow spiritually as she grows physically. So I thank her for taking us on this journey. What a blessing it is to see how much she and her entire family are loved and will be prayed for. She must have known we needed to see God and be in "awe" of him once more.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!! We love you and obviously will be praying for you all!
Jodi--
I just saw your comment on Amy's blog and am sitting here praising God for what He has already done for your sweet Brooklyn Hope! (such a BEAUTIFUL, meaningful name!!) What a testimony she already has and we will be praying for her little body to be completely restored and healed and that "many will see and fear and put their hope in the LORD" because of her precious life and her parents' strong faith! (Psalm 40) Love and prayers---
Shelly and Tra Willbanks
I am so glad you were able to have some good news. We'll continue to pray for you all! We love you!!
Oh Jodi and family,
I just read your update and what has been going on. I hurt for yall and know that yall have been on a terrible roller coaster over the last few days--it is so hard. I remember all the waiting for Amy and Rick, so so hard. I'm so thankful for the good test results and pray for more good reports over the next appointments. I love her name Brooklyn Hope, how precious. You guys will be in my prayers. God bless you with peace. Bless Brooklyn with healing. And I pray for the day when Ella and Brooklyn share their stories of God's amazing healing in their lives. You guys are loved. I'm here for you if you need anything. Thank you for being so encouraging to my sister. May God give you strength today.
THANK YOU, GOD! I will continue to pray for you and your family. We read Psalm 139 yesterday in church and I instantly thought of you. I hope it gives you comfort.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
We're so glad for the good news!! Thank you for blogging all this! You will continually be in our prayers!!!!! Love you!!!
Sweet friend, I've been out of town so i just got your updates. As I teared up reading your posts, I was overwhelmed by the way the Lord is already using the life of Brooklyn to bless others. Your faith and courage amaze me. Love you and praying for the whole family....
Hello, It has been so long. I just wanted to say that my heart and prayers are with you and your family. Hearing your story brought back so many memories of me carrying Bella (my three year old daughter). I can remember lying on the table waiting for the tech to finish the ultrasound but for some reason this one was taking much longer than all of the others. I can remember the OB telling me that Isabella, based on the ultrasound, has a chance of being blind, deaf and mentally disabled. My heart sunk. I can remember waking up at 3:00 in the morning crying and holding my stomach asking why..why. I can remember one day being in church praying for peace and then I can remember having that peace. It was beautiful. I sat in church one day and my body felt relaxed for the first time. My heart felt lighter. I realized that this is the baby God wanted me to have…this is the baby he wanted to give to me and I was ready for her no matter what. I knew that my heart was big enough to take her and never let her go. Bella is almost three, she is my miracle. She is smart and completely healthy. The doctors still to this day can’t understand what happened to the calcifications on her brain. Oh, but don’t worry I cleared it up for them…The Power of Prayer. I know your faith will carry you through this time, and I pray that soon you will be holding your Brooklyn Hope in your arms with joy in your heart. Love you. Selwa Mitchell (Reese)
