Hey everyone
Sorry it has been so long since I have stopped to update all of you are who are praying and supporting Phoenix. Your prayers have been amazing!! God is working and things are happening!
As I have been advised I will not talk about the legalities going on, but know that your prayers are being heard and God is working in mighty ways.
Phoenix is for the moment in a medical foster home. She was moved to that home on Friday and we were able to see her for a little bit that day before she was moved and she was doing well. Her foster mom called me on Saturday and asked me for tips on feeding her because Phoenix was refusing to eat anything. We talked for a while and she is a Christian woman and she loves children. We were able to meet her and her husband today and see Phoenix for an hour and she was doing very well. She had started to eat today and once we held her she was gulping her food like there was no tomorrow. She ate, babbled a bit, and fell asleep while we held her. It was easier to leave with her asleep and peaceful. The foster parents seem like wonderful, loving people and we were encouraged and felt like they will take excellent care of Phoenix while she is in their care. We are working on Phoenix being able to live with Allen's mother, Sarah, who has come to Pensacola simply to take care of our little girl.
We have been worried that perhaps she is having mini-seizures because we have caught her staring off sometimes so that is something to continue praying about and to ask for wisdom for the neurologist to be able to conclude if that is indeed what is happening. Otherwise she is holding her head up very, very well and is starting to try and roll from side to side. She is gaining weight by the second it seems! Her eyes are focusing on people's faces and she thinks things are funny to look at so her vision is definately improving.
Please pray that Phoenix will continue to do well with her foster parents (Ruby and Frank) and to eat and drink the food that she needs to stay well. Also pray for Ruby and Frank to have the wisdom and patience that is needed for a small baby and that God would bless their lives - they are very sweet and gentle people.
Thank you so much for your prayers, I wish I could tell you all the things that God had been and is doing right now.
I will ask you to pray for us on May 10th, at 9:00 am. There are decisions that will be made that day legal-wise.
God bless you all so much. When this is all over I will be able to share with you every blessing and every amazing work that God has done on the legal and physical side of all this.
Love
Shell, Allen and Phoenix
