I just had a question. If it's not too difficult, I was wondering what happened to your baby girl. I know she died from a seizure but couldn't find any post about a seizure disorder or anything. I guess I just wondered if she had been sick previously or if it happened suddenly for no apparent reason. If you don't want to talk about it just tell me to mind my own business! :) She is so beautiful and I am so happy for you with the coming of your baby boy. I can't wait to see how his room turns out! Anyway, I will be praying for your hubby's quick and complete recovery...........https://www.blogger.com/profile/00302366839601711160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854822966178949982.post-29598241163842626692009-04-14T14:49:00.000-04:002009-04-14T14:49:00.000-04:00As I was reading 1 Peter 1:3-9 this morning I thou...As I was reading 1 Peter 1:3-9 this morning I thought of you and how you have both walked WITH the Lord this past year. We are blessed to call you friends and brother/sister in Christ. <br /><br />1 Peter 1:3-9 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. <br /><br />We also know an excellent Occupational Therapist who is very skilled with Play-doh. He is available most days and already LOVES the patient. Let us know if his services will be needed :-)<br /><br />Love ya both!Colesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854822966178949982.post-82968816743024988962009-04-14T14:15:00.000-04:002009-04-14T14:15:00.000-04:00Some fool said that real men don't cry.

Praying for patience and I'm going to specifically pray about all the speech stuff. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be! <br />My husband is an athletic guy. Always into sports. Enjoys working out, etc. He became a bone marrow donor last fall. He went into the surgery perfectly fine and came out with some severe nerve damage in his leg. It has been very frustrating for him (frustrating would be an understatement). His neurologist told him it would probably take 2 yrs to heal and lots of physical therapy. The pain, the medication(he was on some major stuff) and the prognosis became very depressing for him. It was frustrating for me to see him like that and I struggled to know what I could do. But through lots of encouragement, patience, and great hard work he has made amazing progress in just 6 months. He's off all meds except over the counter stuff! Proof that Jesus our healer! Just encourage Andy and push him to do those exercises even when he's tired. You are his greatest cheerleader! I'm praying for you too! It's hard to see your healthy, strong husband go through something like this but I know that God is doing a great work in you too through all of this!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224428660851832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854822966178949982.post-21172397492503883272009-04-14T11:45:00.000-04:002009-04-14T11:45:00.000-04:00YAHOO!!!

I know that Andy is so appreciative of you! Keep up the great work, and we'll keep praying! So great to hear how well he's doing just days after such a major surgery.

It is really weird, but my best friends husband had seizure the day before your husband, and was also diagnosed with a brain tumor. She is also pregnant just like you. I found it to be so ironic that yall were going through the same thing at the exact same time. <br /><br />So, I have been praying for you guys along with my friend. I am very happy that his surgery went well, you have no idea. I didnt want you to think it was weird that I was writing, I just wanted you to know that yall have been in my prayers.

A few days ago when I read that Andy was going into the hospital for brain surgery I could have never imagined that he would be home and doing this well, this fast! You are so right to be praising God right now! I know that it is still difficult, but I'm just so happy for you both! I went back and read a ton of your posts, so I guess you could say you're a blog I've been stalking a lot lately! :) I feel like I've gotten to know you... and it has been a joy.
