My thoughts and prayers are with you and Big Kid. I know he feels your love and that is giving him strength. When I gave birth to a sick baby, the nurse brought me from my room and made sure that I had plenty of loving and touching time with my daughter. She told me that science and medicine could only do so much...but a mother's love could do wonders. And you know what? Between that and prayers from others....she was right!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556013197827296506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-31046652443110106542009-11-02T03:48:28.691-07:002009-11-02T03:48:28.691-07:00I've been gone, so haven't been keeping up...I've been gone, so haven't been keeping up until now, however,you've been in my prayers every day and will continue to be.

And if you’ve reverted to childhood books as a distraction (excellent idea) re-read the Narnia series.<br />Still thinking & praying for you all.

I work with children, deaf, hard of hearing and special needs. I have watched one of these children, and never has there been one closer to my heart, he gave me my sign name, he always seemed to need to touch me when he was playing, he couldn't see from the side of his eyes. <br /><br />I watched him become sick, sick from something common to his condition. Common should never happen to anyone, least of all those who are truly uncommon. I cried my eyes out, I begged, pleaded and bargained with God to save this boy. I never accepted any alternative than that he would get better.<br /><br />And then I did. I faced that yes, something could happen, it would break many many hearts, and yet, this child whom we all loved would be whole. No g-tube, he would see the clouds and hear the birds in a place where he would be able to explain everying that was in his amazing little mind. I threw myself to God. I said, you know best lord, you know how to care for him. I trust you.<br /><br />And I cried, for a very long time. But I no longer feared the news that would come, I no longer paced the halls when the doctors came with progress reports. I was still terrified that we would loose him, but I knew, should God call him home he would be at peace.<br /><br />I would say throw yourself to God, acknowledge what could happen and pray for what will. <br /><br />And check out the Red Tent it's an amazingly good book that will suck you into it and keep you busy!! :)<br /><br />Praying for you and yours,<br />AmyAmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-59985355816678792932009-11-01T11:11:25.257-07:002009-11-01T11:11:25.257-07:00I feel what Alix said above.

May the Divine and Glorious Physician Himself, our dear Lord, your Son, lay His hands upon him and upon all the health care workers diligently working to save his life. I also ask that you provide the comfort Attila and her family needs to get through each and every moment during this difficult and trying time. Amen<br /><br />I'm off to Mass now: your intentions will be my intentions. God bless you all and know that I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.<br /><br />Thank you Willoughby for sending me this link.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169693305157071792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-82291527963008428462009-11-01T07:48:53.701-07:002009-11-01T07:48:53.701-07:00My heart just breaks for you.

My heart understands the torture you are enduring and feels compassion for your pain and fear. And in my mind, I have joined hands with you and am in your circle. I don't know your face or how old you are. I don't know what you do or where you live specifically. I don't know if we would agree on politics, or if we would agree on religion, or if we would even enjoy spending time together if we were neighbors. But what I do know is that right now I am your sister and you are my sister and we are praying for Big Kid and lifting him up and lifting up hope and we are unified in a common purpose - to get Big Kid well.<br /><br />And there are so many me's out here, feeling the same feelings and doing the same things. We may never meet face to face, but the power of our prayer and positive energy is joining together like a giant missile going straight to our Heavenly Father where it will do the most good. <br /><br />Even though you don't see me, us... we're here. And you can count on us for as long as you need us.Boozy Toothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765083787738573580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-7490637872201156372009-11-01T06:25:34.054-07:002009-11-01T06:25:34.054-07:00I know what you mean about the telephone when some...I know what you mean about the telephone when someone dear is gravely ill.
