Thought I was going to have to kill some doctors this morning. Crisis averted and Erik is NOT in jail. This picture is Lucy smiling when I told her how many birthday wishes she had received. Thanks to everyone who has sent birthday wishes. Now....just waiting on the magic wand to make this all go away.

ReplyDeleteKate,
I have been following Lucy's story ever since I read Erik's status about Lucy's surgery last Saturday. I went to high school with Erik and from time to time I run with Kasey (Blankenship) Stokes. I pray that each day will bring more and more good news and more and more healing. I have a daughter who will be 5 this month and every time I look at her I think of Lucy. God bless you all!

ReplyDeleteKate, It is a shame that it takes something so unbelievable to bring a community together. I hope that you will be able to get to Covington to see all of the "Lucy bows". Your sweet little angel has made a HUGE impact in Covington and even people around the world! She is an inspiration to everyone and so is your family. I cannot even imagine how you all are so strong during this nightmare. There are so many people that know Lucy and your family, and some people you don't even know that are lifting little Lucy up in prayer. She is such a little trooper and we all need to be taking notes from her and her courage. I know you have been angry,heart broken, and a multitude of other emotions. God never places more on us than we can handle and He will get all of you through this. He created us to be able to get through things that are tragic. Tears and a sense of shock will get all of you through this and help you to heal. I believe that this is one of those times that you will look back and see only one set of footprints. I think of you, Lucy and your entire family and pray for you all everyday. Your child has made a lot of us put things into perspective. Lucy is teaching all of us great life lessons and she doesn't even know it. God has had a plan for Lucy since before she was born. We all have to trust in God's will. You WILL, you will, you will get through this. Let God carry you.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you all,
Wendy Butler
