As a nurse I am so glad that medicine has come so far. When I first started working in 1972, we did not have these machines to keep babies alive. Babies like Azariah. Would not have survived. So glad he is doing so well. You have been a strong mamma.
Just wonderful news with Azariah! My 8 month old great nephew had (3) open heart procedures. After the initial surgery, 2 additional surgeries were needed due to complications. He's at home, now, in Chicago, but, still a feeding tube and oxygen, if needed. He is such a happy baby but behind in his normal baby milestones. He still cannot sit up on his own. He does tummy time and can turn over and grasp toys! He is our miracle. Praying for baby Asariah 🩵🙏🏻🙏🏻
God is so good and so happy your baby is ok. I had colon cancer and yes later I found out that only 35 percent of folks survive this surgery but God was in control of my surgery just like he is in control of Arabiah. Continued prayers
Oh Momma Bear i am so thankful that your precios baby is doing so well. I will keep praying for heaing and strength for baby Azariah. Always praying and always will for your whole family. God is so good
Thank you Lord for your amazing blessings for Azariah and his family. Thank you for blessing the Surgeon’s hands as he operated on sweet little Azariah. We pray Lord Jesus that you will continue to heal Azariah and help him to recover so that he can have whatever medical assistance is needed next so he may continue to be blessed and healthy enough to come home and be with his family in your name we pray Lord. ❤❤❤
Before my 9th child was born we were told the baby had severe heart issues and suspected Trisomy 18. I was devastated at the thought of my baby needing major surgery……until we were told it was possible she would be too sick to be a candidate for surgery. After weeks of scans we were finally told that Down Syndrome was the most likely diagnosis and that her complete AV Canal defect was operable. The worst news suddenly became the best news. My daughter had surgery at 2 1/2 months then again at 8 years of age. The results both times has been remarkable and we thank God for guiding the surgeon’s hands. I’ve been praying for precious Azariah and all your family! 🙏🙏🙏

Oh Mommabear! Heart surgery is amazing. I’m so happy for all of you! Baby Azariah is truly a miracle!❤ praying for all of you that the good news continues.
I’m so glad his surgery went so well…We are continuing to pray for this Special Boy and his Sweet Momma and Daddy for Strength in the coming weeks 🙏🙏🙏❤️
So thankful Azariah did so well. Thank God for his Doctor, and all those caring for him. I know you all have to feel some relief. If I haven't told you today, you're a Wonderful Mama. From one Mama to another...God Bless you.
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for directing this amazing medical team that are taking care of this precious little boy. I am crying tears of joy for you all. This is wonderful, I am sincerely so happy that all of this is going so well. Continued prayers for Azariah and all of your family. I hope that your journey will be an encouragement to other families facing similar situations. May God continue to bless and bring you all sustenance, courage and strength to navigate through all of the days ahead. You are a real delight, and an awesome wife, mom, Christian lady, and I feel like you are our friend as well, Mamma Bear. I certainly have you and your family in my constant prayers and I am sending you love as a sister in Christ. 🙏✝🤗🫂🧡💛💚💙💜💝
I too was raised as a Jehovah Witness, no longer, but I too could not imagine letting a loved one die because I would not give them blood! Wish you and your family the very best!
That's wonderful! What a strong little man Azariah is! You are right about the heart & lung machine. I needed a heart & lung machine during a surgery on myself when I was 15 yrs old at Mass General Hospital. That freaked me out, but it would be more difficult if it were one of my children now. I panic over minor surgeries my children have had. I hope you all can breathe easier through Christmas, and Azariah has a very smooth recovery. ❤❤
Oh Mama I use to work as an OR nurse back in the 80’s and early ‘90’s. I did Open Hearts but only did a couple of Peds cases. Those cases were so hard personally for me. Most of the peds teams are so special. I didn’t mind adult things but those babies and peds cases were so tough for me. I continue to pray for sweet Azariah and you all. It is scary knowing your child needs blood but, I’m thankful God has put us in this time so our children can have the care they need. Continued prayers for sweet baby and you all!
Great news! Hope you feel OK with spending more time with all 15 children and less time on here. I'm sure your family needs your full attention at this stage!!!! God bless you all ❤
Hey my friend I am so glad and happy for your news . I have been so worried . But now relived a little once u see your sweet smile . Give baby boy a sweet kiss from me and I am praying for you all . Sweet pea bless her heart. I hope she is okay . Well I know you are tired just wanted to thank you for the update and love to you . Stay safe and God Bless
'Home' is wherever your family is. Glad to hear Sweet Pea and Azaraiah are ok. That must've been reassuring to know they were going to call at those specific points. My dad had quadruple bypass surgery and was on bypass machine, so I can relate.
Such wonderful update news on Azariah, You and Pappa had to be a ball of emotions through this surgery! Can see the relief and happiness on your face! 🤗 Continued prayers for you and your family 🤗🙏
Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus🙏 What a mighty God we serve, What a mighty God we serve, Angels bow before Him, Heaven and earth adore Him, What a mighty God we serve!💕
Thank you for the update on your youngest son Azariah. Stay strong mama bear ,sending lots of ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 to you and your family especially to your son. We are praying for all of you. Try to get some rest my loved. God bless you.
What wonderful news! God was directing everything including the surgeons hands during surgery. Azariah has already touched soo many souls and will continue to do so to the glory of God! I am continually praying for him and the entire family Mammabear. ❤
I worked as a nurse in pediatric cardiology, and I had open heart surgery myself. All these scary things are common or routine with this surgery, but in such a tiny baby it is so scary. I am so glad he came through that important first day! It seems he has a good chance of recovery. He will thrive much better with his heart repaired.
I am so, so pleased to hear this wonderful news - you're all fighters. You look like you've slept too, the extreme worry has left your face which I am so glad to see. Onwards and upwards momma Bear one step at a time always x
Oh Mama Bear stopping the heart is a big big deal ( miracle ). We should be so thankful for all the advancements in medicine. He is a strong little guy and we are so proud of him and all of you for your strength and faith in God. Prayers and love from Wyoming.❤️🩹this little heart is mending.
The Power of Prayer always prevails! You’ve cultivated and grown (and continue to grow) a wonderful community of people to support you, love you and pray for your family. I’ve continued to pray for Azzy, the Doctors, Surgeons , Nurses and the Family. Let’s also remember to give thanks for modern medicine and for those that continue to test and make additional medications and medical support supplies and equipment to improve the quality of life for those in need. I’m so glad to hear the surgery was a success with no complications, thus far. Prayer warriors, continue to pray for healing! ❤️🩹 🙏🏼
As a nurse I am so glad that medicine has come so far. When I first started working in 1972, we did not have these machines to keep babies alive. Babies like Azariah. Would not have survived. So glad he is doing so well. You have been a strong mamma.
