God answers prayers!

I got a call from my Dr. earlier this evening to let me know the blood test for toxemia came back negative, Praise God for answering our prayers once again!

Memorial Fund

For those of you that want to help us but don't know what to do to help we opened up a Memorial Fund for Paige at our bank to help with medical bills and funeral costs so in lieu of flowers you can donate to any US Bank to "The Paige Miracle Mapas Donation Acct."

Thanks!

I just want to thank everyone that has been praying for us this whole pregnancy and since we found out about Paiges diagnosis. We appreciate your prayers and support and everything you have done for us already, to every person that has asked us what they could help us with or offered to watch Leilani for us we appreciate your kindness so much. I don't know what you can do for us but continue to pray for a short and easy labor and delivery, for a live birth, to get some quality time with Paige and our family at the hospital and to always help us to never forget her!

Today was my second to last Dr. Appt and I got some good news and bad news. The bad news was that my blood pressure was higher than normal so they did a blood test to check for Toxemia and are going to let me know what the resluts are as soon as they get them back so please keep me in your prayers once again, if I have it I would have to deliver earlier to prevent having issues with my liver, as far as symptoms go besides the high blood pressure I haven't had any so I'm sure God will work it all out. Just last week I found out my Strep B test came back positive so they are going to have to give me antibiotics when I'm in labor to keep Paige from getting an infection so also keep me in your prayers for that situation because if she gets an infection she wouldn't be healthy enough for organ donation. We are also asking for prayers for a live birth because she needs to be alive even if its for 1 minute to donate her heart valves and liver to save a total of 4 babies lives and we would love to hold her and meet her alive knowing she was alive for the last 9 months and she was able to make it through the birth canal alive. If she gets distressed during labor my dr has agreed to let us have a c-section to give her a greater chance for a live birth. The good news we got yesterday was that when the dr checked me Paige was down really low in position and I was 1 cm dialated which I was told would most likely not happen on its own so thank God for answering our prayers once again and starting labor for us to make the inducing earlier.

Today my best friend treated me to lunch ( guess where we went) Paiges favorite place Red Robin hehe! It was so nice to sit down with her and just be able to talk without any interruptions and catch up. It had been way to long since we had hung out. I went back to her house for about an hour and she was able to help me with a few questions I had about Paige's Memorial Service we are going to have! Thanks to my sister who watched Leilani for me!

We had our second 3d/4d ultrasound today in Aurora with Joyce! My mom was able to go with us which was wonderful for her to experience the memory of Paige with us. We totally got to see Paiges personality today during the ultrasound. She was moving her mouth like crazy like she was trying to have a conversation with us and then all of a sudden she would turn her head like to look at us, it was so precious. Joyce is going to send us a dvd of it which will be so wonderful to have to always remember her personality. I'm sure she was going to be a comedian like her Dad and Big Sister! We love her so much already and our love will continue to grow more and more everyday. I'm so glad I have had 9 full months to enjoy her every kick and flip they have been so memorable memories. Leilani never really moved around to much so it has been extra special with Paige. I still remember when Leilani first saw and feel her move she laughed and then cried it was so touching to see her reaction to her baby sister!

A friend I haven't seen in probably 5 or 6 years came and picked me up today to take me to lunch so we could catch up. We used to work together at Sears, she was always so sweet to me and we would always talk when I came into the office where she was working. She had me pick where to go for lunch so I picked Red Robin because Paige loves french fries hehe! We had a wonderful visit and I got to meet her beautiful 4 month old daughter too! She treated me to lunch which was a wonderful blessing and such a sweet thing to do and she brought us a gift that I'm sure she put alot of effort and time into finding for us. One of them was a little statue of a teddy bear and this particular bears name was Paige ( how perfect is that) and the other thing was a guy and a girl holding a baby and it said Bless this Miracle, Bless this Circle of Love which she bought because our babys name is Paige Miracle because she is truly a miracle from God to us! So thankful for wonderful friends that I can be an inspiration to during this trial!
