Monday, Monday

Dancing with the wind, Sara took a walk today.  Well, I think it was just in circles around the ICU - so she finds her self quite sore this evening.  She didn't get moved because they didn't have a room to move her into - so tomorrow is the game plan.

Ron has been blessed by his visits with The Transplant House staff.  He has gotten to know Grandma - a heart recipient, who has really opened her heart to support him.  A sister in Christ to love on him. 

This blog is about Sara so I don't really want to mention me - but it's also about God during all this time, so I think I have to mention me.  We are all a family and I cannot say what the others are going through explicitly because I'm not them.  This morning I had a minor melt-down.  And, the scary part is I saw it coming, but just kinda' sat there & watched it. Intense stress does that to me - usually about a week into the "crisis" - and that's almost where we are.  So, when this happened, I pulled out the tools of Christ that I have.  Without thinking about it, knowing I needed some help, I could do what I needed to to get through the moment and back on an even keel. I chose some of my strongest prayingest Christian friends.  I sent them my sappy, venting email requesting honest suggestions.  I knew what the answer was, but I guess I needed to hear it.  I was inundated with scripture, support, prayers and advice. God sent them to me to lift me up & support me & get this derailed back on track. So, once again, I say Thank You God! Amen :o)

    Mary,

    You are entitled to a breakdown.  If the steam doesn't escape from the kettle once in a while....well we all know what happens.  You did the right thing.  You reached out for help.  That's not easy for some people.  I'm glad you felt safe doing that.  It says a lot about how God's love is surrounding you.  I know that God will work out all the details for what's to come.  He promises to turn all to good for those who love Him.  I know YOU love Him.  It will be OK.
