Prayer works.

When Hazel was born on August 2, 2013, we both had an infection. After days on antibiotics (for both of us), Hazel ended up staying 1 week in the NICU and underwent a ton of tests, including one for Meningitis. Our families and friends sent up TONS of prayers - one distant family member sent a prayer request at the Carmel Mission, while our traveling cousins in Italy lit a candle for Hazel in a church there. We asked literally everyone we knew for prayers for Hazel, and prayer works. Hazel's tests all came back normal, her infection levels came down, and my heart felt whole again. God is so good.
