Please Pray!!!

I am reposting this blog entry from my friend, Melissa. Her son, Chase, has be fighting a brain tumor for several years and he (and the family) are needing major prayers once again. Chase is one of Hays's dear friends and I cannot imagine, as a mom, being as strong as Melissa is and has been. So, please read below and please pray and please pass it along to all the prayer warriors you know!!!

Today Chase had another MRI scan and the results were that the tumor had grown yet again, significantly. Chase is facing yet his 3rd surgery in a couple of weeks after an angiogram is completed to see how the vessels and arteries look in his brain. Once the Professor looks over this test he will determine what type of surgery he will perform. Nevertheless, there will be a surgery and many, many prayers are needed for Chase! Right now we are looking at the week of June 28th sometime to do the angiogram and then the following day or two, the surgery. Chase is really worried about going through another surgery - we all are - the older he gets I think the more he "understands" and gets anxious. This morning during the MRI for the first time ever, he was shaking so badly all over that he couldn't stay still for the scan and he ended up throwing up. He was scared out of his mind. We believe that he has probably known for months that something was going on in his body that was "different" yet he never complained or had a bad attitude...he just went with the flow.

Thanks for the continued prayers ~ I apologize that I have not been a faithful "blogger" and know that many of you have been wondering how Chase has been. Chase is still Chase...and forever will be. Nothing can take away his joy and his happiness.

Until later...
Love,
Melissa

They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were...

A Little Bit Of News From The Land Of A Thousand Hills. . .

I heard from Tim, my POA, today. Here is what his email said: We had a brief meeting, superior nun and was busy but favorable to adoption. She is encouraged by your heart especially with a second adoption. We have rescheduled to meet Saturday morning to finalize choice of the child. I shared your preferences and they don't have any issue with it. They told me that I need to proceed carefully especially with regards to other kids staying at the orphanage who may not get the chance of being adopted. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the boy that you may adopt! So. . .I'm assuming that Saturday means tomorrow. I am a little nervous! I am actually a lot nervous, but am trying to minimize that feeling by reminding myself that God knows the perfect child for our family! I'll be praying today!!!!!

Recovering P31

What?  A recovering P31? Proverbs 31 describes the wife of noble character.  This wife gets up early and works hard all day long and isn't even tired when she finally retires from all of her work at night.  She is a servant to her husband and she makes him proud.  She is a fantastic mom and I'm sure, if there was Pinterest in the day, she would be the Pinterest-y-est of the moms.  She isn't afraid of hard work and she has the pantry stocked in the case of an emergency and she has her family ready for cold winters, famine and hard times.  She helps strangers and loved ones alike and she has her sights set beyond herself.  Her husband praises her and her children are grateful for her and call her blessed. Oh my gosh!  What a great lady!  I want to be like her!  So why am I a recovering P31 and why am I writing about it now when I'm not even a wife? (For starters, I think this kind of noble woman is a goal regardless of any woman's marital ...
