I’m so glad you are here!                        
My name is Kimberly Ehlers.  My husband, Randy, and I have a wonderful son, Seth, who was born with Pulmonary Atresia.  Seth had multiple heart defects and needed to have open heart surgery when he was 4 days old.  That surgery saved his life, but only took care of one defect.  The last 11 years have been years of waiting, praying, and   miracles.  You can read more about my family and our story here.

My prayer is that this website will support, encourage, and even challenge parents who have children with serious health issues.     

Support and encouragement are easy to understand, right?  But what do I mean by challenge?   Well, the challenge is really the key.  It’s the key to support and encouragement that truly last.  Those things only come from a deep relationship with our Father.  We have to challenge ourselves to grow our faith by growing in our relationship with Him.  We have to challenge ourselves to not stay in the muck of our child’s illness.  Our fear of the future, the constant worry over the here and now, and the anger over so many things – that’s just part of the muck! 

 The challenge is also to surrender your child to God instead of the medical community or the illness.  In our desire for our children to be well, it’s so easy to grab on to a doctor or a medicine and put our hope in them.  Instead, let’s surrender our children to the Creator who loves them and who still heals.

So, what do you think, are you ready to join this challenge?  Are you ready to know your God and trust in Him completely?  Grab a cup of coffee, dive into the articles, and let’s walk this journey together. 

In His Love,
Kimberly
