Our Liliana was sent to the children's hospital to have blood drawn to further explore why her iron was measuring too low. There were hundreds of scenarios as to why this could be the case... some of them alarmingly scary. Fighting tears and worry, we continued to trust in a plan far more perfect than our own for our precious little Lillie. Knowing full well the God of the universe fashioned her in my womb, she is fearfully and wonderfully made, and every blood cell is as it should be according to His Almighty and Sovereign craftsmanship.
"For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb" (Ps. 139:13).
Her hemoglobin level had been just under 10.5, the minimum measurement for her age. After two months on an iron supplement it had fallen to 8.9. However, the extra blood tests would reveal she was actually at a perfect 11.7! The doctor's words, "Miraculously healed" rang true in our hearts, though it is probable the original test was simply wrong. Even so, we know the Lord carries us through these journeys with a purpose. May He be glorified by our lives and faith even when the results aren't pleasant. We praise Him for the blessing and gift of good health, celebrating the fact He knew all along.
