Well we were blessed to be able to visit Aiyana! This precious baby has endured so much in her little life and is struggling to gain any momentum to advance in her development. Still on a ventilator and a feeding tube, we were led to believe that she was completely blind and completely deaf and did not interact with the outside world at all. So sad, they said (since the twins were born completely healthy) - but we knew that God was calling us to be there for her. She is considered "non-placeable", but we knew that He was calling us there. Even the littlest one is not beyond His thoughts.
Amara in her amazing cuteness, kissed Aiyana up her arm and on her head many times. I'm not sure what she was thinking, but we could only assume it was "Oh! There you are!" Knit in their mother's womb together, enduring repeated trauma, month-long hospital stays, and another month in rehab together, they became separated only when we took Amara into our care. Who knows what she was thinking as her sister was no longer by her side...
Won't you join us in prayer for Aiyana? We fully believe in the power of prayer! She is precious to our Heavenly Father! And, by the way.... she was following us with her eyes, whispering babbles to us (the trach would prevent any sound), and responded to our voices. Our God is so much bigger!!!
