I received the following email from our Preschool Department at church. If you feel led to contribute then there is information to do so. I know that many of you know how difficult it can be to care for any child, having to give up everything for a sick child has to be twice the stress.
Linda was born with cystic fibrosis and has been in our ministry since she was a baby. Her mother, Patty, has raised Linda and her two older sisters (Diana and Josy) as a single parent. Now Linda is in kindergarten, and she needs a lung transplant. Patty and Linda have to move to Houston to be ready for the transplant as soon as a lung becomes available. Diana and Josy must move to Tennessee to live with their father. Patty cannot work in Houston because she must care for Linda and be ready at moment's notice for the lung transplant. This puts a major stress on their family, not only emotionally and physically, but especially financially.
The Preschool Ministry has the opportunity to donate money to a Benevolence Fund for Linda and her family. If you would like to contribute to the fund, contact the Preschool Ministry at 214.969.2432 or any Preschool staff member that you see at FBC. Checks can be made out to FBC Benevolence with "preschool VBS offering" in the memo. Linda's website is http://www.caringbridge.org/la/linda/ if you want to check it out!Please spread the word, keep them in your prayers!
Head Update
Ella talked to the neurologist yesterday...okay, I really talked to him, but she tried. The doc said she is improving. He made a comment that kind of made Joe and I roll our eyes "gross motor again seems to be the biggest problem"...ummm, could I have saved our money and just called that in?!?! We are going to another (either 4th or 5th) MRI/MRA/MRV next Friday. They will have to sedate her, but I feel like we've done this enough times that it's just like another trip to the doctor. She does pretty well with anesthesia...I can't even count how many times she's been "under" in the last 14 months.
Oh, yeah, and can you believe she's 14 months old now...CRAZY. Yeah, I know, crazier that we'll have another one in 6 month...or a little more. Oh, and the popular question lately is how am I feeling...like I have really bad morning sickness...2 weeks till the end of the trimester.
God is good...that's my constant right now.
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving thanks.
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
