Dear Madi, You are so dear to me. Four years ago, God gave you to me. You reflect his love in your eyes. I have grown to love you so much. Today I thought I might lose you. I thought Jesus was taking you home. I don't know what I would do without you. You have been a blessing to me and so many other people. I pray that you will bring glory to God no matter what happens. I pray each day that you will desire to know Jesus with all your heart and that your life will reflect the heart of the Almighty God. I love you, Madi. Love, Mommy

Camping


We decided to get away and do some camping. Was I crazy? On August 17th, we packed up the Motorhome with supplies to change Madi's central line dressing and end caps. We also had shots in the refigerator that she needed each day to build up her white blood cells. This was fun for her, but stressful for all of the adults. It was an enjoyable two days. She played and rode her bike. We stayed far away from any swimming pools, since she couldn't get her line wet. We arrived back home late August 18th and woke up early the next morning to go in for a doctors appointment. The doctor wasn't overly excited that we went camping and she rode her bike, but he knew we wanted her to be a kid and have fun no matter what was happening inside her body. God is in control.

Romans 12:12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
