Prayers for Lindsey

We are so thankful for all the prayers that have gone up for Lindsey since her diagnosis of Tay Sachs Disease several years ago, and especially now since her recent admission to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Mission Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina.

I talked to her Daddy (Dan) tonight, and he reports that though Lindsey's condition is still critical, she is stable.  Her temperature is back to normal.  And, the medical providers have decided to try to wean her from the ventilator.  We pray that the weaning is successful, and that she is able to once again breathe on her own.

     None other has ever known.

Though I walked out the door by myself, I was not alone.

"In the multitude of my anxieties within me, (Jesus') comforts delight my soul."

"Grandchildren are the crown of the aged."
     - Proverbs 17: 6

... Lindsey is indeed my crown - but, she is the princess.
