I thi...Hi Deanna,<BR/>I just can't agree with you more. I think that people have forgotten that these children are the Lords first. He has a plan for each and everyone of them. I have no doubt that their mother loves each one of them with everything in her. A trait that many women lack these days. We don't know all of the paticulars and probably never will. But the fact remains that they are wonderfully made children of God. And for all those people who can't get past the fact that she isn't married, Mary wasn't married either. That did not stop the Lord from choosing her. He is God and could have found a married virgin if he had wanted to. They are here. The world is a blessed place because of it. God will provide. He always does. I remember a wonderful Godly Aunt telling me when I was young that "If I waited until I thought I could afford children I would never have them. It was up for God to decide not me." I believe that if the Lord did not want these children here, they would not be here. They are not anyless valuable due to there origins. Sorry I am on your soap box. I tend to be pretty opionated too.<BR/>In Christ<BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372011910315338200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-71864157241350692862009-02-09T11:46:00.000-06:002009-02-09T11:46:00.000-06:00I never would have thought to use grow lights.

My only bili baby was years ago...we just left her lying on a blanket in the warmth of a sunny window.<BR/>LOL...now I feel rather old :o)<BR/><BR/>Right now, that's what our living room /dining room looks like...a cramped mini greenhouse. It will look more like it once the plants are all started!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip!<BR/>DeannaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315996496008524220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-87463180776803446782009-02-09T11:08:00.000-06:002009-02-09T11:08:00.000-06:00You asked about a different use for those UV grow ...You asked about a different use for those UV grow lights, and I have a story to share: When my mom moved up to WA from CA, she had a collection of some 100 different cacti. Knowing that the WA weather would not provide adequate sunlight so she purchased (tons) of lights and metal shelving. Eventually, they all made their way into the "office" which, though it held a computer, really looked more like a greenhouse. <BR/><BR/>Then my son was born 2 weeks early. Not too bad, but there had been a lot of pregnancy complications and the last thing I wanted was to stay longer in the hospital. My poor son was just plain tired and refused to eat and therefore developed a case of jaundice. His levels remained barely safe enough to go home, but we were required to come back to have blood work done every day. My mom suggested we use the lights, so we made a cradle out of an old cardboard box and set my son close to the lights. The first day we didn't notice much change, so my mom moved some plants and we placed my son (with a mask) directly under those lights wearing only a diaper. His bilirubin count had gone down substantially the next day and after one more night under those lights his count was doing well enough that we didn't need to come in for monitoring anymore!!!<BR/><BR/>So, there is a somewhat random and possibly completely unhelpful reason to keep those lights around! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
