Today Was a Great Day!

Dear Friends,
It's Daddy's turn! Wow, I can't get over the response we have received through this blog as well as through emails and phone calls. We are so blessed to have so many people that care about us and about Reagan! Thank you all for the prayers. Amy and I were talking about how hard it would be to get through this without our faith in God and the support of our friends, family, coworkers and etc. Amy and I have experienced about every emotion possible over the last five days. Believe it or not, one of the greatest emotions that I have felt during this time is peace. Last Sunday in Sunday School we were learning about how God allows trials to happen to help us grow in our faith. Little did we know that Sunday afternoon, Amy and I would begin the greatest trial of our lives so far. During the Sunday School lesson, we learned that even though the storms of life are somewhat inevitable, God is still watching over us and protecting us. We are grateful.

Reagan did very well today. I am so thankful for the fact that she had a great day and I have faith that she will continue with more great days ahead. She is such a precious little girl and I am so thankful to be her daddy. Someone actually said that they thought they got a glimpse of me in her today. I wasn't sure whether that was a good thing or not as my wife is much better looking than I am, but I was proud none the less:) The intricacies of her little body are nothing short of amazing. She is covered with the fingerprints of God from her round little head to her perfect little (and I mean really little) toes. She has the cutest little nose and chin that you will ever see as well as the ability to tap her foot to the beat of the ventilator according to Uncle Michael. I wish that you all could see the little life that you are praying for daily. Pictures don't do justice to what God has created in Baby Reagan. She is a blessed child of God and that gives me great hope and comfort knowing that He is watching over her every minute!

Thanks again for writing to us. I check this blog several times a day for new encouragement. If you would prefer to send an email, and receive email updates about Reagan, you may email me at robert@winslows.org. We love you all and are very thankful for your kindness and support. Your prayers and support have brought me to tears several times and there is no way that I could express my heartfelt gratitude to you all. Thank you so very much, and please continue to pray!!!

Love,

Robert and Amy
