Miracles for Myla, Inc.

My beautiful, tiny baby starts preschool on Thursday.

I can hardly believe I'm typing those words.

She has grown and flourished beyond what I ever fathomed possible as I sat vigil at her bedside at Norton Children's Hospital three years ago. She has overcome so many obstacles and challenges in her little life.

I am so proud of Myla. I am so thankful and grateful to God.

I am so blessed by everyone who has had a hand in helping her thrive and succeed.

Please join me in praying for my sweet baby as she begins a new adventure, with new friends and new surroundings.

Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Hip Hip Hooray! Myla is turning THREE today! (July 1, 2026)

This year, we want to encourage you to share the love in honor of Myla’s birthday by donating directly to MiraclesForMyla.org, (where every donation helps fill a basket for a NICU family facing a longterm stay) donating directly to Norton Children’s Hospital NICU, (they will take directed monetary donations as well as board books, baby blankets/preemie clothing and scrapbooking/craft items for footprint crafts) or donating directly to Louisville, KY Ronald McDonald House, who is an excellent resource for families facing unexpected and/or longterm hospital stays in this region.

I know miracles exist because I gave birth to one.

💜💙

June is PPROM awareness month.

My water broke at 17 weeks with Myla. I never thought something that horrible would happen to me. I was given all kinds of awful things to be prepared for, up to and including her death.

No one told me to prepare for Daytona vacations on the cusp of her turning three years old. No one told me to prepare for the smiles and the giggles and the pure joy; the sandy toes, and the beach-wave curls…

This life is an incredible, beautiful blessing and I am so thankful to God for our outcome, and her fighting spirit.

Today, Miracles for Myla, with the help of our donors and Mt. Zion Baptist Church’s mission team, was able to deliver 12 care packages to Norton Children’s NICU for Mother’s Day!

Thank you to everyone who donated, purchased items, and dedicated your time to helping put these together and deliver!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the strong moms behind their NICU baby’s success! We love you and are praying for you!

Hello, friends!

We had the honor of presenting Miracles for Myla to our church family yesterday at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Elizabethtown. It felt good to share this ministry and how much it means to me and weighs on my heart. I am hopeful that having shared it, we will have an influx of others desiring to help.

That said, we are looking to bless some NICU moms with some care packages this upcoming Mother's Day, and I would love some help getting the word out about who we are and what we are trying to do for families facing longterm NICU stays!

I would also love submissions--real families that you personally know that are experiencing this right now that we can help. We can always have care packages delivered to anonymous/random families, but we also love to have personal recommendations about who we can bless.

Myla will be three years old in less than three months, and it's absolutely blowing my mind to think about it. It seems like both yesterday and forever since we faced our own long NICU stay, and she is just absolutely thriving and loving this wonderful life.

We have an appointment with Neuromuscular at Cincinnati coming up in July, but other than that, no other appointments on the horizon. Her new raspberry-pink glasses should be in this week, so look out for pictures of her rocking those.

Please continue to keep Miracles for Myla covered in prayer, I have really personally been struggling with how difficult it has been to get up and running but am super thankful for anyone and everyone that has prayed, sent items for packages, monetary donations, or words of encouragement our way.
