later painted a picture and wanted me to write "I love St. Jude" at the bottom. Bless her sweet heart.
We haven't heard from any doctors but really didn't expect to tonight. We should have a pretty good pow wow by tomorrow afternoon I suspect. I am all at once scared, thankful, restless, peaceful, sad and happy. Mainly, right now, I am utterly exhausted. So are my two traveling companions.
Nothing could have been sweeter than holding my babies tonight. All three of them. I've missed them so much.
So glad you guys made it safe and sound. Praying. Praying. Praying.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it back to St. Jude!

Sleep tight, sweet Lucy... You look beautiful and healthy. If I could paint a pretty picture, it would say, "I love Lucy Hannah!".
ReplyDeletePraying for the pow-wow with the doctors, & trusting that our God will be seen throughout the coming days.
I was so happy to see your posting; the title was a relief. Hold tight to Him. Tomorrow is a new day, & His mericies are new every morning.
Praying, sending hugs, & loving your sweet family.
Sincerely,
Selena Bragg

I'm praying for and thinking of your family constantly and I pray for peace and rest for you all and I'm hopeful for good news from the doctors. I hope you were able to rest last night because I know today will be daunting. Please know that we are all here, thinking of you, praying for you and that our Amazing Father has you right in his arms. I know its hard to see what his plan might be, but I know he has amazing things in store for Lucy. How could he not? she has touch so many lives already.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see ya'll back into Memphis, have been checking everyday and making sure that you guys are okay. Glad to see Lucy and Ella together. They are the sweeties pies. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. You and your family have a very special place in my heart. Love you guys.
ReplyDeleteKate--continued prayers for you and your family for peace and for answers soon. I know how much you want to understand the reason for all of this struggle and turmoil your family is going through; finding a greater good for it all is the only way we can make sense of it. Although I fully believe there is a purpose to it all, sometimes the reason does not become clear until much much later. Perhaps in over analyzing it while still in the moment we make more stress for ourselves. When I find myself doing that in my own life I ask God to take away my worries and my analyzing because i can't handle it, but I know He can. By turning it over to Him the burden of having to figure it all out is lifted and I can be more present to deal with the matters at hand and live in the moment. I know how badly you want a reason for Lucy's suffering, and so do I. It's' torture not knowing. But I know God will give us the answers when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteI pray for comfort and divine guidance for your family all the time. (((HUGS)))))
Thanks for the update Kate. Please keep us posted. Still praying for a complete healing for Lucy.

Kate & family, Glad to have you back in surroundings of home. Lucy looks great and Ella is just glowing. God is sooo good. May you get answers, rest,understanding and or peace very soon. Praying constantly.
ReplyDeleteDear Kate,I've been praying for you & your family & will continue to do so. Specifically I prayed for His Grace to give you endurance & "staying power" to walk thru what your in right now & for your sleep at night to be restful,regenerative & undisturbed. Psalm 127:2 For so He gives His beloved sleep.
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers and rest for your family. So happy you are together again. There is strength in numbers. Please know there are so many praying for you everywhere. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteWe are so thankful that you guys are back at St. Jude. We so appreciate every update that we get and are continuing to pray for your sweet Lucy and the rest of you guys.
Welcome home. You are always in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteSweet Ella got her braces off! She looks so grown up!
ReplyDeleteElla looks SOOOOO happy to have her sister back. You can tell it was hard for her to be so far away! I pray that good news comes out of your "pow wow" today! I'm SO glad you made it back to St. Jude :)
ReplyDeleteAs strange as it may sound, I am so glad Lucy is back at St Jude's with the people who can best care of her. It makes me feel better knowing that you all will be surrounded by family, loved ones, and the best medical staff ever!
ReplyDeleteMany prayers sweet Lucy!!!!!
xxxooo
So happy for you that you are back on familiar round, surrounded by family and freinds.
ReplyDeleteElla is on happy girl to have her sister and parents back in town. I hope you receive some good news today.
ReplyDeleteMore prayers from GRANDMAPATTI...
I have granddaughters Ella and Lucy (same family--ages 8 and 6)...
Lucy's are always special!
So glad you all made it safely to St.Judes and are feeling the comfort of familar surroundings, doctors & family ; ) The pic of your girls together is just too cute (boy does Ella look just like you!) Lots of continued prayers for Lucy, so so many prayers..
ReplyDeleteHi Kate....
ReplyDeleteI have been a "lurker" for a really long time. I found out about you guys and Lucy because both of our blogs are on 'And then there were seven's blog as needing prayer! I have been praying for you guys almost everyday. I wanted to write to tell you that God is using you and Lucy as a daily encouragement to me. I have a daughter with a heart condition, a daughter with a blood disorder and a son who is in the process of being diagnosed with a retinal dystrophy and may lose his sight. There is so much I want to write about how God is using you and yet it is hard to put into words. Our journeys are different but I see you grappling, wrestling and being so real before God and everyone and it is such an encouragement to me. It is so hard to walk everyday in watching my kids struggle and so many try to encourage me by making light of things...seeing the beauty in Lucy and her courage mirrors so much of what I see in my kids and reading as you pour out your heart reminds me that what God wants from me is not to blindly walk but to pour out my heart, to grieve and be weak when I need to.
I guess I want to write to say that your journey has changed mine for the better, Lucy has helped me to trust in the strength deep inside of my kids and it has all helped me to feel like I am not so alone.
Please know that I am praying!
Shannon
Praying for good news! GO LUCY GO!
ReplyDeletePraying.
ReplyDeletePraying for good news today! I love the pic of Ella and Lucy....
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see smiles on the girls faces! I pry that all scans are clear of cancer and that she is well on her way to recovery. She has blessed my heart in so many ways. You, Kate, are a strong and courageous mother and I applaud you as you walk through this ever mindful of the needs of all 3 of your babies. I pray for your strength and wisdom. God Bless you!
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet child. Being "home" at St. Jude and near her family (and her St. Jude family) will certainly be good medicine! I hope you can all get some rest and pray for good news when you meet with the doctors.
ReplyDeletePraying as ever for your family, Kate! Thank you for posting updates for your internet family!
ReplyDeletePraying for you all day. Ella is beautiful with her braces off (she was beautiful with them on too though)
ReplyDeleteI've been praying for good news as alwsys! Ella looks beautiful with her braces off! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate -- I continue to pray for Lucy & your family on a daily basis. I hope being "home" brings you all comfort, but most importantly, more answers. Your family has a strong following filled with family, friends & strangers (I am one of the strangers). Lots of positive thoughts and love to your family.
ReplyDeleteLucy = Hope!!
P.S. -- Look at Ella ... no more braces! She looks fantastic! She looked beautiful with them on, but I remember how fun it is to get them off!!
I've been reading your blog for a while and have been cheering Lucy on since the beginning. I just wanted to let you know my family and I have yours in our constant prayers. Praying for answers and a sense of comfort as you are with ALL of your family again! Your thoughts and words touch so many so wanted you all to know that prayers are going strong in PA!
ReplyDeleteThankful you are at St Jude - my stepdaughter was there back in 1983 when she was 4 years old and diagnosed with ALL. She is now 34 years old and doing wonderful! Praying that God is already beginning the mighty healing work in Lucy and that He will get ALL the glory when the manifestation of His miracle is evident!
