Just Thinking

Up late ... again.

We had a great day at home & spent time visiting Hannah's best friends, Arielle & Moriah. Hannah was so happy & did not want to leave but I have promised a sleepover very soon! Lily, of course, was her precious perfect little self even though she was tired by the time we left.

This evening, Jim talked with Dr. David Margolis in Milwaukee,WI. He is the leading expert on Bone Marrow Transplants for Pediatric Aplastic Anemia patients. We are processing a lot of information right now about the next step for Hannah's treatment. Truly, it is just so hard to hear things like "60 - 85% chance for a good outcome".

My heart just seems to hear the other side: 40 - 15% chance for not a good outcome.

Kevin, Kim's husband, said the other day, and it is so true: there are no odds with God.

So true. So true.

All of our days are planned. The One who created Hannah knows exactly how many days she will bless me on this earth. I could be gone long before her. No one knows when will be their last breath. The mortality rate for humans is still 10 out of 10. No changing that statistic.

We are trusting the Lord to direct our steps for which route to take for Hannah's treatment and we know He will give us His peace & strength as we continue through this journey ...

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9

"The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace." Psalm 29:11


All God's best from HOME --
