Special People need Special Prayers

I know I don't have a big readership on this blog; my readers may be small but they are big in heart. I am asking all my readers to pray for some special people.

Please pray for Aiden and his family. I have talked about Aiden before on this blog, so his story should not be new to my readers here. However, to give a quick background on Aiden; he is a cute little guy who received a liver transplant as a baby due to the same disease that is attacking Ashley. Although, Aiden's transplant was a success he has been diagnosed with another rare disease called Dysautonomia. Right now, Aiden and his family are miles from their home in Ohio from St. Petersburg, Florida trying to find medical treatment for Aiden. Right now, Aiden's family is not having a good day. Aiden's daddy is sick; throwing up and just feeling like crud. No one likes to be sick miles from home, but a parent especially doesn't like to be sick when you are trying to take care of some very special little people. Aiden and his family need your prayers. You can read about Aiden and learn about Dysautonomia by visiting his website here.

Please pray for MckMama's MckMuffin, Stellan. Stellan is a beautiful 5 month old baby boy. He is such a miracle from God in every true meaning of the word. However, Stellan, has been in the hospital for a couple weeks dealing with a very fast heart rate of about 300. Stellan's doctors are trying very hard to keep Stellan from going into heart failure. Stellan needs your prayers. Stellan's mom is amazing and at testament to God's love, please visit her blog at My Charming Kids.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I know both of these families truly appreciate them.

Living through Dance

In just about six weeks Ashley will dance, not just any dance; she will be competing in a big regional dance competition by dancing her very first solo.  It's completely amazing, seeing Ashley dance, watching her live through dance.  When Ashley was born almost 11 1/2 years ago, I never ever thought, we never thought Ashley would live to dance much else do her first solo.  I can't believe I am crying as I type this.  I didn't think I would get emotional.  It's just amazing!  When I put her in dance at age 3, I did it because I knew I needed to stop sheltering her.  She needed to be around other children.  She needed to feel normal despite what is trying to zap the life out of her; despite her disease.  Honestly I never thought Ashley would be a good dancer or even a great dancer, I just knew dancing was safe; it was the one activity the doctors felt didn't put Ashley's life at risk.  Little did I know how much dancing did and still d...

ALF vs COTA - Loosing Sleep

What would keep a person up past 3:30 am? Decisions... As most of you know we have been using ALF (American Liver Foundation) for Ashley's Liver Transplant Fund. However, in the past year, we have found that ALF is not offering us what we need among a few other reasons which I will not blog about. When we opened Ashley's account with ALF we did so quickly after the death of my dad during Christmas 2006 and New Year 2007, we did not have time to research the best fundraising organizations. There are so many organizations out there from ALF , COTA , NTAF . But because of my dad's untimely death and because his dying wish was that friends, family, etc. donate to Ashley to help defray our medical costs, the first organization that came to mind was the American Liver Foundation. After all, Ashley does have a liver disease. Now, both my husband and I are wondering if we should have used COTA. We have also thought and inquired about opening up a local trust fund for Ashley. Howeve...

Answers lead to more Questions

In great Ashley fashion, she did very well with her trip to the hospital and recovered well from the procedure. Right now, Ashley is off with her Grammie getting spoiled by shopping. With no one in the house but me and the pets, I am off to my own devices which usually means I have to much time to think, to research, to worry, to vent, to hope and to pray. Today Ashley had a broncioscope to find out why she has been coughing for six months. After getting up at 4:30 am and at the hospital at 6 am, the scope began at approximately 7:30 am. The procedure itself took less than 30 minutes. The outcome of the procedure left me with more questions than answers. We do know why Ashley is coughing, Ashley has a vocal cord dysfunction, enlarged adnenoids and tonsils. Finding out why Ashley is coughing is good news, however, we also learned that Ashley may have other issues involving her lungs. There was 60mL of fluid in her lungs. Some samples of her lungs were sent for a cell count, bacterial cu...
