Our daughter has ongoing medical needs and has gotten a great deal of care from them. She always looked forward to all the fish....although I am not sure if there is a purpose or if it is just a fun theme....but she couldn't wait to see them when we were there. :-) <br /><br />Lucy continues to be in our prayers. What a blessing to see that sweet smile on her face after all she's been through! If we still lived there, we would "be there" for you, but for now, we will keep on prayin'!Jeannie Bryantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-30343800830784658792012-06-25T00:14:03.415-05:002012-06-25T00:14:03.415-05:00Kate, Lucy looks amazing!!!!!!

I know my granddaughter who is 7 would love to make a card for her also. I guess if I send the cards to CHOA addressed to Lucy she will receive them. I don't want to invade your privacy but I think I would need your last name in order to do this. Also, would love to send some crafts to Lucy. I will continue to pray, especially for all of you during this difficult time of separation.Mary DeGennaronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-68288825751539538412012-06-24T20:37:35.616-05:002012-06-24T20:37:35.616-05:00Kate, thank you for all those wonderful pictures- ...Kate, thank you for all those wonderful pictures- my favorite is the one of Lucy and Erik Kissing. I am so glad y'all made it safely to Atlanta and I hope the rehab is all you wished and have been praying for. I am truly amazed at Lucy's progress and will continue to pray for more miracles for your family. I hope that you and Erik will have some peaceful moments as Lucy gets stronger. Also praying for strength and endurance for Lucy as she starts on this rehab journey; what a special family you are and I am so honored to be able to read your posts and keep your sweet family in my prayers.Catheynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-73681422704243606212012-06-24T20:33:26.852-05:002012-06-24T20:33:26.852-05:00I am thrilled to see Lucy well enough to enjoy the...I am thrilled to see Lucy well enough to enjoy the activities available to her in her new home away from home.

My home AND office is within 2 miles of CHOA-SR campus. Even though we don't know each other, I would love to bring a meal to you. I know you can only eat hospital food and takeout so many times. Or, if you need anything in Atlanta, I would be glad to help. ehearon@gmail.com Praying for your Lucy!!!

We loved all of our nurses and doctors there. Are you staying on the Aflac floor? I'm not sure if too many of our favorite nurses are still there since it's been 2 years since we've been there but I do know that Sara B. and Andrea (Andy) are both still there and we absolutely loved them!! They are so sweet and warm and loving. Elise was the child specialist there when we were there and if she's still there, I know that Lucy will love her! She would always come and paint or color with Elizabeth. She's great with crafts!! She did a fantastic job at making Elizabeth feel very special. <br /><br />Glad that you guys have gotten settled in. We're praying for you and please let us know if we can help you in any way. I know we're strangers to you but we're family in Christ and we would be happy to bring you a home cooked meal! <br /><br />Speaking of which, if you are on the Aflac floor, they have different restaurants from the area provide dinner for the families every Thursday night and I think sometimes on Tuesday's for lunch, too. <br /><br />Let me know if I can do anything at all for you!
