2 Months Today

Two months ago today I lost my Dad.  It seems like just yesterday.  I've been thinking about him quite a bit today, I also found some old photos of Daddy when I was cleaning up my bookshelf.  There he was in his ski suit about 9 years ago on top of the Rocky Mountains snow skiing.  I can't even begin to tell you how much he loved skiing.  Daddy was always athletic and enjoyed a challenge.  So when I first went skiing with the church youth group with I was a freshman in high school and came back telling he and Mom how much fun it was, he decided right then and there he wanted to give it a go.  So he and Mom ended up chaperoning every ski trip from that point on.  They absolutely adored Colorado.  My Dad was like a kid in the candy store every time he popped those boots into his skis.  I wish so much I could see him coming down those slopes one more time, but I can't.  As of 2 months ago, I will never see my Dad alive on this earth again, but I will see him in our heavenly home.  So today, I can only stay here on Earth and finish the mission God gave me and look forward to the day that I see my Daddy again.

Rainy Saturday!

Thought I'd jump on here in the middle of the day since J and I aren't doing much since it keeps raining and storming off and on all day long.  Some times we all need lazy rainy days at home just to do nothing.   I appreciate days like this, just so long as there aren't too many of them.  I get a little antsy after a while in the house and then I get really goofy.  

Ok enough about me, I do have an update on little Mr. Stellan.  He was had it rough he last couple of days, in and out of v-tach, having a central line put in and fairly constant SVT when he's not in v-tach.  We are still needing to pray for Stellan so that the Lord heals his heart fully.  Thanks for all you've done for Stellan.  

Blessings,

Stellan Update

Stellan's heart is still in SVT.  He and his Mom have had a very crazy day, everything from them not being able to get an IV in to a central line being put in, to another episode of v-tach to Stellan finally getting some rest.  Please continue to pray for Stellan, that his heart returns to a normal rhythm soon.

No Change

Just thought that I would update on Stellan.  There is no good news to report, Stellan has been in V-tach and SVT all day and they can't seem to get his heart to break out of these rhythms.  The Drs are surprised that he has tolerated these heart rates for as long as he has.  Please let's pray for Stellan.  Thank you in advance for your prayers!

Love & Blessings & Thanks,

Prayers Are Needed NOW!

Please pray for Stellan (McMiracles Blogspot on the Sidebar).  He has been in SVT for the last several days and nothing the doctors are doing can get his heart to slow down for any length of time.  Please, please, please pray for Stellan and his family.  And if you are so inclined, go to Jennifer's blog (MckMama) and read her latest post on miracles and God's will.  It is so true about God's presence, I felt it when my Dad passed away, it is a feeling that can not be described but you definitely feel it and know it's God, no doubt.  Again, please pray for Stellan to be healed.

Thanks and Prayers,

Magnolia

Wordless Wednesday!

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail!

Can you tell that I changed my blog again!  That's because Easter's coming!!!  My favorite time of the year.  There's a lot of reasons for it being my favorite, #1. My birthday is around Easter, #2. My Anniversary is around Easter and the day my Savior died is Easter.  Of course the last one is the the biggest on the list.  I am in awe of knowing that someone thousands of years ago was loving and brave enough to die for my shortcomings, is that not astounding???  I try to think about what was going through his mind and the minds of his loved ones here on Earth on that day, but I just can't even get my brain around it.  I suppose it'll be one of the many questions that I'll have when I have my chat with the Lord when my time on this planet is done (I wish I could take a list with me, I just know that I'm going to forget most of them!). Anyway tonight think about how grateful we should all be that Jesus saw fit that we were worth the sacrifice.  I know that I am so unworthy of his sacrifice, but I also know that I'll keep trying.

Love & Many Prayers,

Magnolia

Update on Gracie

It is with tears in my eyes that I tell you that Gracie has gone to be with God.  She was so sick, the transplant didn't work, she was too sick for a Berlin Heart and not a candidate for another transplant and was on ECMO.  Please pray for her family and know that she is healed completely now and having a great time in Heaven with my Dad.

Blessings & Tears of Joy & Pain,
