Tomorrow and thanks!

As I said, please remember to pray tomorrow for the “day 8” tests (actually it is day 7 but they are running them tomorrow)
I just wanted to take some time out and share how blessed our family has been through this time.. First of all, our parents, siblings and extended have been an incredible support, thank you all.


We have been humbled that people all over Orange County, the State, and even the entire country (will other countries for that matter) have been touched by Kaitlyn. Not only have we been humbled by their prayers, but the way they have shared the story and this blog to others, I can’t begin to count the tears and prayers from people that do not even know us.. It blows us away.. seriously!! I can not tell you how many emails and conversations we have had where someone has said “well you have people praying for you here”..

Also our house has been basically cleaned and sanitized with a fine tooth comb (ok maybe they used a rake first, but you get the picture), every ounce of laundry has been taken, washed folded and put away, (dry cleaning as well) . We have groups and people pledging dinners for months out. A young marrieds’ group gathered some $$ and bought not only a brand new twin bed for Kaitlyn to rest her little body on when she comes home, but they also donated enough for Maddie to have the exact same bed, (and full bedding as well). The list is endless.. Thank you all.

Thank you to the ones that have been noticed and thank you to all those “little ol’ ladies” (as we refer to them sometimes in the church) praying their hearts out.. Trust me, the impact of all the prayers is felt every day and is evident in Kaitlyns day to day life and her treatmet.

Thank you all


34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
Matt 25:34-36

Those "little old ladies" are called "Church mothers" by are black friends. I like the term even better. Thanks to Kathy (kagr1001) you now have a lot of folks in Chattanooga, TN praying for you. You will find God awsome in these times. I've been there.

Little Kaitlyn is in my prayers today as well as every other day! I pray that God will keep her body strong and that the test results will be encouraging. She is an amazing strong little girl and God will continue to help her get through this!!!
With Love,

God, I ask that you would lead Kaitlyn and her family through this time writing the testimony of your love and provision. You said you would never leave us nor forsake us and I am holding you to this promise in the name of Holy Jesus. amen

I had a 2 yr old cousin that went through this and only God can keep you strong. I pray that in every moment to come, good & bad, that you will always feel God's hands around you and your family and that you may never falter from your faith - for God knows his plan for you and He will see you through every trial you may face.
