The Card Fairy
When my husband and I were dating we frequently left cards for each other….the "Card Fairy" would visit often 🙂 Sometimes she would leave a note on a car windshield or would magically appear in a college textbook. You never knew where or when she would leave a sweet...
Lucky Number “6”
Port #6 has arrived and is 10 days old! Friday my husband accessed it for the first time and he said it was impossible to miss. What a relief! We have had so many problems with "Christian's" port and the fact that he struggles with a...
Hypocrite? I Don’t Think So…..
When I was younger I would have won an award for worrying. I was great at it! I would lose sleep, overeat, panic, and even had the beginnings of serious anxiety before I even knew what it was. As my journey with Christ became more solid and meaningful I began to...
Sunday Morning
Most Sunday mornings you will find me in church…but not today. My husband and I were not able to access "Christian's" port on Saturday evening and when we spoke to the doctor on call, we decided to skip his dose of FEIBA. He was not bleeding and not in a...
Surrender
Surrender has been on my heart. The first thing that comes to my mind is when I watch an old movie and see someone waving a white flag and surrendering to the enemy. I surrender to the One who knows my every thought. I wake up each morning and before my feet even...
Are You Enough?
I believe the world would be a much different place if each of us believed in ourselves wholeheartedly. Not just sometimes, but all of the time (maybe even just "most" of the time). Don't get me wrong. I am not talking about perfection, because no one is perfect,...
Where I Need To Be
I love to plan. Checklists, schedules, plan A & B…… I like to be prepared. The last two weeks were an opportunity for God to get a good chuckle as my "plans" changed at the drop of a hat. Instead of attending a business trip in California, I became ill with strict...
Tangible
When you can touch something it's real and reassuring. Not everything is tangible, but it is nice when it is. Children who are in and out of the hospital with chronic illnesses only know their illness as a way of life. What most of us know to be true is...
In An Instant
My sweet "Christian" was admitted to the hospital Sunday night because his Dad and I just could not access his port. The next couple of days were filled with IV's and a port that had a nasty rash on the outside. Last night the IV infiltrated the muscle in...
Another good month
To battle my "Christian's" allergy to factor VIII, we are slowly increasing his dosage each month (in addition to 300 mgs. of Xolair every other week).Yesterday was another big day….he tolerated 750 units of factor VIII! It sure is a slow process, but things are...
