I am...


1. Tired- emotionally, physically... just tired.
2. Depressed- mind & body.
3. Worried- about my baby girl & my finances
4. Hurting- my back is killing me & fibromyalga is acting up severely
5. Hopeful- that my sweet little girl will get better
6. Praying- that with all the prayers going around that our family will be okay
7. Believing- in our Heavenly Father- that he will care for all of us & our finances.
8. In Awe- of the community that has rallied around us
9. In Love- with each and ever one of you who have prayed for us, given time to us or given a donation to us.

10. Last but not least- If you read this- please leave a comment letting me know how you are feeling today. Your comments make me feel better- I read them to Cami- so please, if you read this- leave a comment.

Someone emailed and asked how much we needed to save our house. The total needed is $6,567.89 we have a total of about $1900.00 after paypal fees in my chip in. (that could be a little off because I don't have a calculator in front of me and I already transferred some to our savings account) I deposited $400.00 in checks that were sent to me so- we have about $2300.00 right now. Which leaves us $4267.89 in the hole. Kevin and I can come up with a thousand of that- so we need $3,267.89 to keep our home. We don't have a problem making our monthly payments- we just got behind because of the thousands of dollars that we had to pay for Cami to see her specialists and for her Mri's that were mandatory- we were threatened with cps being called on us if she didn't go to all of those appointments- so we paid for them so that we didn't have to deal with social services while we were between insurance companies. That is what happens when you lose an insurance company because it goes from $600 a month to $1400 a month. Had I known that it would have cost a ton more than $1400 in a few weeks- I would have paid cobra- but hindsight is 20/20.

Love you all,
Kevin, Christy, Cody, & Cami

    I am feeling tired from a long weekend of visiting my brother and his family. But, I'm very grateful for my little family and I gave my 2 weeks notice today to be a stay-at-home mommy so that brightens my day.

    We are praying for you and your family!!! Much love and hugs from Ohio!!!

    I am feeling tired. Ready for the work day to be over so I can go home to see my husband and daughter. The weather is getting bad here so I worry about the drive home. May God continue to lay his healing hands on Cami.

    Christy,
    I feel grateful that your Faith in God is helping you through this fight. I am praying for you and your family whenever you cross my mind and keeping up with your blog so I know what specifically I can pray for you. Nothing is too hard for our God, everything is possible with his love!

    I will continue to pray for your baby girl, it just breaks my heart that a little baby should have to go through such pain. God works miracles every day, He must have a plan for your little angel.

    Praying for you and your entire family. I can't even imagine how exhausted you must be, in every way, and yet your strength does shine through, even when I know you can't be feeling strong. Know so many are praying for you and your family.

    I feel nostalgic as I look over the list of how YOU'RE feeling...totally different circumstances, but I have definitely been where you are in the areas of physical exhaustion and depression just one year ago after a devastating failed adoption and a near-death experience with my mom. I also feel hopeful for you as I look at my own life and see how far God has brought me and how He NEVER left my side through those horrific events. He has you and Cami in His arms right now...and He will never let go! Praying for you tonight!

    When I see the name Cami, it makes me think of the little girl I was anxiously awaiting during my delivery. But to our surprise, out popped a baby boy! I had dreamed of putting Cami's hair in a bow, dressing her in pink skulls and rocker t shirts and watching her grow up as daddys little girl, just as I was. When I found out I was pregnant, I was actually pregnant with twins, but one of them never developed. I guess that was Cami...she wasnt ready to be in my life yet.
    So our little boy went 2 hours without a name and we finally decided on Chase. He is my life, my love, and my happiness and everything I wanted for Cami has been happening just the same for Chase...well minus the pink bows. I am so grateful to have become a mother. Your daughter is beautiful and my prayers go out to you and your family. Hang in there. God does work miracles.

    I hope camryn will feel better. I have a 5 month old of my own. So I know how much pain you are in when you look at your little one on the hospital bed. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Christy, you have a beautiful family and a beautiful soul. You and your family are in my family's thoughts and prayers constantly. Stay strong and keep fighting, little Cami!

    I am feeling so thankful and lucky for my husband and our little daughter. We had a miscarriage when we first tried, I was in my second trimester and it was a huge shock. We had no idea anything was wrong... Then we found out we were both getting laid off as we worked for the same company, and within a few days found out we were pregnant. Our daughter is a blessing, and really, nothing else matters outside of family now. Hubby is going back to school and I'm at home with her while looking for work-which is frustrating as I can't find anything for over a year now. I keep you all in my thoughts and hope that Cami will get better one step at a time.

    Found you through her womb, our hearts...been reading for a few weeks now and have been praying for your family. I am feeling thankful, for my family, guilty for not going to church, and worried because my little girl has yet to arrive (33wks) and I can't even imagine what you are your family are going through. Thank you for sharing your story you and Cami are an inspiration!

    Tonight I am feeling lucky. I am so lucky to have a beautiful daughter and a wonderful boyfriend, and a loving, supportive family. When I see her big toothless grin, I tear up. I wanted to tell you that Cami is SO beautiful, and you are such an amazing and strong mother. My heart aches for you, and I hope that you can hold your baby in your arms again someday soon. Cody is adorable too!

    You said you read this to Cami - so this is for Cami - Hang in there baby girl. Your momma and daddy and brother are being so strong for you as well as your extended family. You are tough and you are strong and you can pull through this! Rest your sweet little head and let God heal you and take care of you! Let the love of all the people praying for you wrap around your tiny little body and keep you warm. Lots of love from Germany.

    I was just looking at your pictures and thinking that Cami has absolutely beautiful eyes. Her eyelashes are so long and just gorgeous! We are praying for you, Cami, and for your family. You are an angel, and just like every little one on earth, you come from God to do His will in your own little way.
