AVERY GRAYCE SPEARS - 100% MIRACLE

Avery Grayce is finally here. After 18 hours of labor, she arrived July 25, 2011 at 7:08 pm.  She weighed 6lbs 14 oz and was 19 inches long.  She was taken right away to the NICU because she has some extra skin on the back of her neck as well as fluid filled feet. Both of these indicated that the Turners Syndrome diagnosis was correct.  She spent 4 nights in the NICU so that they could do genetic testing, heart testing, hearing testing, as well as observation.  We were surprised that on Thursday night the preliminary results had already come back with the results of her genetic testing. The doctor took Brent and I into the "parent room" to discuss the results.  He quickly said (in a South African accent that we just loved) "These test say that your baby is perfect!"  NO TURNERS SYNDROME!!!  That means that God 100% healed her.  We didn't believe the doctor and he had to make a copy of the results for us to see and to keep for ourselves.  He said that the extra skin on her neck and the fluid in her feet were just there because of her condition during pregnancy.  She will grow into her skin and the fluid in her feet will go down.  So funny that we ask and pray for God's healing and then when He does it...we doubt and are shocked by it!  He is so good!  Brent and I are so overwhelmed with love and joy and excited.  We are so grateful for all of you who have joined us in prayer during these months and even during the past three years.  We believe that God has such an incredible plan for Avery just as He did for Carter and just as He does for us.  We still would never trade the past three years for anything.  All we can say is...thank you Jesus!  Thank you Jesus! We see your hand and will always trust your heart!


SO...we would like to introduce you to... MISS. AVERY GRAYCE SPEARS!!! OUR MIRACLE!!!!!

Brent, Jenna - I actually went to the high school with your sister, Jenna (and I believe with you as well). I cannot even remember how I came across your blog, but I have been following your journey from afar, praying and sending all my wishes for health, happiness and a perfect baby...and I'm so thrilled to see that your miracle has arrived! I am crying as I write this - she is just so perfect in every single way, and I'm so happy for her that she gets to have two of the most wonderful parents the world could offer. Enjoy every second of this miraculous journey! Hugs from Maryland, Robin (Hammond) Lerner

Jenna-I had heard through our network of friends that your much prayed for miracle baby had arrived and thought to check here for info even though I have pretty much dropped out of the blog world. Believe me when i say how much I rejoice with you both in the birth of your little girl! I know it was a long hard road and God has surely blessed your faithfulness to Him. What a testimony He has given you both and the Kemps couldn't be happier for you. I hope to see her in person some day and can't wait to hear more updates! Hugs and much love!
