What a day of joy today has been. We all left last night uncertain of what the morning would bring - and praying that we would get a chance to hold and love Copeland one more day. However, we have still been praying all along that the Lord would take her if she was hurting at all.
It's been an awesome day to come to the hospital and all day long see Copeland full of color, breathing well, strong heartbeat and as precious as could be. Boothe and Conor have been filled with the joy of the Lord and we have all been able to spend the day smiling, loving the sweetest girl in the world.
At 2:00 today, our closest family and friends gathered with Pastor Don Finto and Pastor Jeff Helton to dedicate Copeland's precious life to the Lord. We all rejoiced in knowing that He has given us another day to love her and spend time getting to know her better. Sis and Conor were encouraged that they have loved her the way the Lord calls parents to love and have done all that is in their power to love her unconditionally. They have shown how much they love their daughter and proven that their desire is for the Lord's will to be done with her little life.
Copeland also had a visit from her favorite NICU nurse, who is in fact off today. Carly brought her husband by simply to see precious Copeland one more time. She was such a breath of fresh air and such a joy to see, as a surprise, one more day.
Today has been filled with surprises, blessings and most of all the joy of the Lord.
What a beautiful thing it is to have another day with our girl.

"His mercies are new each morning." Blessings to you all. Thanks for sharing your hearts. Our prayers are with ya'll.
It is wonderful to see how God loves on those who are faithful to Him. This news makes me so joyful... I can only imagine what it does to you! You all have become so precious to so many people. I pray more and more strength for you all.
To God be the glory! Great things He has done!!!
My prayer tonight is for a peaceful night for Copeland and all her wonderful family. What a wonderful world this would be if all babies would be as loved and cherished as little Copeland. Surrounded in the love of her family and by God's love, mercy and grace. Continue to know that you all are lifted in prayer by countless brothers and sisters in Christ.
I recieved a call from Krista, here in Texas to tell me of your precious Copeland. I am also the mother of a full T18 baby girl named Annabel.She has just turned 30mths. Praise God! I think God has wonderful plans for Copeland and she is here on this earth to touch many lives. Cherish each and every breath and enjoy all the time God gives you. No one gave me hope in the beginning, just that she could not and would not make it. Everyday is such a gift! your family is in our prayers and I will be checking on this Angel's progress.
So happy for you all. What a blessing it is! Great is His faithfulness...

OH MY GOODNESS SO HAVE THEY TRYED TO FEED HER AT ALL? WHAT are the doctors saying about her stickin in there this long? This is just the best news ever... Praise God
Thanks, Chels! I, too, have been watching the blog like a hawk - hoping for an update. I am so moved to think of you all gathered around little Copeland dedicating her to the Lord. This is pretty amazing to feel so connected to so many people who are pulling for her - it's like a little taste of heaven for all of us.
Take care -
Love, Julie
