Thank you so much for checking in on Raphael!&nbsp;

Raphael was spoken into my spirit in January 2019. At the time I had an IUD and 5 other children. 4 of them biologically (We're blended)! So I had no intention of getting pregnant. However, the Lord told me I would have a son and I were to name him Raphael. This was strange yet refreshing news because I DID want one more baby. I looked this name up and found out that in Hebrew, Raphael means- the LORD has healed. It is a derivative of one of God's many names, Jehovah Rapha- the LORD of healing. 

I journeyed through this pregnancy receiving many revelations of what Raphael would become. The time came for me to go into labor, and everything was normal until it wasn't...

After several hours of labor, my dilation went backward. I went from 8cm to 6cm for several hours. My doctor realized something was wrong and ordered an ultrasound. I later found out that what was displayed on the ultrasound were the baby's limbs protruding out of my uterus. An emergency c-section was ordered that resulted in an unresponsive Raphael and a partial hysterectomy for me.

Raphael was stabilized and put on life support initiating only a few breaths per minute. He was later diagnosed with a severe brain injury called Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, also referred to as HIE. It's when the brain loses oxygen and blood flow and in our case, due to a uterine rupture.&nbsp;

Raphael lost his ability to function as a typical infant. All the things he learned in my womb were lost, but God restores.

So we spent 3 months in the NICU and I lost a lot of time with my other family members but I saw them several times a week. The quality was not strong though and that is being restored as well. 

The LORD put it on our hearts to get a tracheostomy for Raphael. At the time it did not make sense because the idea of a trach isn't sexy. You just want your child to pull through. It just didn't make sense but I knew just as well as my husband knew, the tracheostomy was what God said. We obeyed. He also had a feeding tube surgically placed.

Now that we've been home, Raphael receives several therapy services and &nbsp;Early Intervention. We'd love for you to check in to see how the LORD is fulfilling what HE spoke into my spirit! Raphael- the LORD has healed!&nbsp;

Bearaby's Weighted Blanket for Kids is made with nothing but layer upon layer of soft, organic cotton.
Highly breathable, wonderfully cozy, and utterly calming. 
Let's look at how the sleep-loving, kid hugging weighted blanket for kids, the Nappling can help your child:
<ul>
<li>Better sleep: If your child has trouble calming down at nap or bedtime, a Nappling could be just what they need. Weighted blankets provide a natural, soothing tool to help kids settle to sleep easier and bring about deeper, better sleep.</li>
<li>Better focus: A child who is well-rested finds it easier to stay on-task. A weighted blanket can help kids stay focused, which helps them flourish in their academic and social development.</li>
<li>Calmer hearts, minds, and bodies: A weighted blanket can help ease child anxiety. It's a simple, drug-free method that calms a child's anxious thoughts, feelings, and that growing little body.</li>
<li>Treats symptoms of autism and ADHD: Weighted blankets can help children (and adults) with autism or ADHD cope with symptoms of sensory overload and hyperactivity.</li>
</ul>
Why We Love It: We love this gift because, during times of grief or anxiety, a weighted blanket can provide a biological cue for children to relax. The feeling of a weighted blanket "hug" signals to the brain that it's time to quiet their thoughts and slide into sleep - making it a fantastic gift to parents with children of any age.
What To Express In Your Card: I know how stressful things have been for you and the little one(s). I hope this blanket offers them some solace during times of stress. Please, call me if you need anything else - I love you!

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

ULTA Beauty is the largest beauty retailer in the United States and the premier beauty destination for makeup, fragrance, skin, hair care products, and salon services.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers an indulgence. It pampers those who need a little extra love and attention. When a person is ill sometimes a little pampering can actually be helpful than we know.
When unexpected medical costs mount, little indulgences can fall by the wayside. Prevent this from happening. (A gift card is preferable to a gift basket because heavily scented items can make people in treatment feel very nauseous so it is best for the recipient to choose their preferred items).
Or, help a newly separated person to move back out into the dating world at a pace that is comfortable. Remind them of how attractive they are. Or, bolster their interview spirits as they wait for their opportunity. Help a loved one to stay ready to interview at the drop of a hat when the default has become dry shampoo and yoga pants. Help them stay refreshed and ready to seize any professional opportunity. Enable them to be make-up ready for the interview.
What To Express In Your Card: I saw this and I just thought that you might like to choose a little something for you. Something you don't need. Please choose something you want. I am thinking lots about you.
