A great afternoon with my parents❤️ Of course, they spoiled the kids and I was able to show them I've become a good cooker (in the words of the kids). Two of my three brothers made a spontaneous stop to see us today also! It was wonderful spending some time with them!
We will be in our pjs all day tomorrow.... The rain and extreme playing has resulted in exhaustion.

Merry Christmas 2015❤️ We had a calm, relaxing, and vivacious day! Our kids are all in the same phase, which made our day perfect! As having three kids so close in age has its challenges today showed us they literally are growing up together! ❤️ Madison's health was the greatest gift to our family this year. We are so thankful to all be together! We pray for our family and friends who all are in the hospital today!
After a heart breaking conversation with my cousin Melissa this morning, I shut the car off, and spent some time with God. Kayley is getting worse. These days aren't easy, we ask questions, we shed tears, and at times are angry. As all the emotions come and go like waves the foundation we have in Christ remains and at the end of the day we may not understand his plan, but we trust it! Our time on earth is temporary and our home in heaven is forever. We will spend eternity in heaven because God sent his son to earth! The real reason we celebrate Christmas! In my prayer time this song came on the radio and tears rolled down my face! A powerful song that explains the foundation of our relationship with God! My prayer for you is that you have excepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,That you have a personal relationship with God, and that God will become your focus in 2016. Merry Christmas Eve family and friends. Enjoy your time with family and remember the reason for the season. Madison seems to be feeling better. We are beyond blessed to have her back in the apartment, and spending the next few days as a family of five. This week has been filled with many emotions and some have been new to me during this season. Please continue to pray for peace and love to all of our family. God has a plan!
Ryan and I have been blessed beyond measure by so many. God knows our needs and has/is using so many people to meet those needs. Thank you to all who have reached out to our family in 2015. Your love, prayers, support, and gifts were given right when we needed them. I love when Ryan and I share moments when God moves in big ways! Ryan and I have been blessed to be apart of several divine interruptions this year! So thankful that God interrupted our plans with his! This season we have learned to long for those divine interruptions and embrace them when they happen. When God called me to do this blog I was concerned I would share too much, but God quickly told me I was to share what he placed on my heart and nothing more or less. There have been far more "God movements" than I have shared on this blog. Sometimes I don't understand why God doesn't want me to share them... then he shows me why. This season and all the others that will come may we all learn to give like Jesus! Then when Jesus gives to us may we receive it as we gave it! Merry Christmas friends and remember God is just lending us our resources! They all belong to him! Madison will be heading home this afternoon. All levels are almost back to normal. Thank you for the love and prayers. Praying the rest of the week is calm!
Madison's med list is intense as I have shared several times. I'm still unsure on how I made the mistake I did this morning, but I did. Madison is suppose to get 30ml of cyclosporine every 12 hours. The way the med comes I throw away 120 mls of extra cyclosporine after every dose. This morning I managed to hook up the med to the wrong pump resulting in her getting 150ml of cyclosporine..... Long story short I rushed her to the emergency room around 11:30am. They have admitted her for overnight observation, but as of now is acting like normal Madison (Thank you God). I, of course; have spent the afternoon in tears and completely upset that I made this mistake! I could make 100 excuses, but the reality is I'm responsible for Madison and any med error is my fault. The responsibility it takes to care for Madison is great and I know that! Praying this is my first and last mistake while caring for Madison medically. Madison has been enjoying herself this evening. I've decided that although she is like me her go with the flow attitude comes from Ryan! I asked Madison, "Do you want to see Elsa?" She of course took off down the hallway. When she seen Elsa she reached for her hand...... God has big plans for these girls! You can feel God's love and presence when they are together! What they share some will never understand. The girls played and of course my heart melted! Madison does love other people and kids! Tonight I'm embracing God's divine interruption! Apparently, my plans to shop and bake today with the kids wasn't what God wanted.... I did find someone's wallet today in the hospital parking lot while taking Madison in! The security guard seemed surprised I turned it in.... Breaks my heart someone would even consider not turning it in.... Either way the owner now has it.
Please pray Madison has no complications while the cyclosporine gets out of her system! |
