Hallie Update
For those of you who were following Hallie's story, and prayed so faithfully, here's an update via a note from my sister & family :-)
Hallie had her 1st Birthday this past week (1/31) and her 2 month transplant anniversary. She's still on restricted access to visitors due to her immunosuppressive medications, but we were able to have a small birthday party. She continues to gain weight (14 lbs 12 oz this week) and is on track with her visits to the transplant team.
Hallie is fighting a virus this week (which was expected), so is back on IV antibiotics for a while.
This birthday is a special anniversary for me. When we first received the diagnosis of her disease, biliary atresia, we of course read up on it. I can still vividly remember trying to understand all the medical descriptions but the part which needed no clarification was the part that said: the child "if untreated" would rarely live to be a year old. The miracle of her treatment and recovery are underscored by God's timing. If she was born in a different time or place she would probably never have celebrated this special birthday.
Thanks again for your prayers,
Jeff, Jodi, Kyle, Julie, Evie and of course Hallie.

God of Justice, Saviour to all
Came to rescue the weak
and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served
Jesus, You have called us
Freely we’ve received
Now freely we will give
We must go
Live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward
Keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go
To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in everyway
Walking humbly before You God
You have shown us, what You require
Freely we’ve received
Now freely we will give
We must go
Live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out, Lord
