Two new angels

Two sweet girls became angels this week: Alexia on Wednesday night and Ashleigh on Thursday night. Please pray for these families as they say goodbye and celebrate their daughters' lives through services this weekend and on Monday. Click on their names to see their websites. I couldn't find a picture of me with Ashleigh, but found one of me with Alexia and thought I'd post it. This picture is from when she was leaving to return to Argentina after her first transplant at Duke.

Prayers for Alexia

Please pray for one of my patients, Alexia, who is fighting for her life in the PICU right now. Her Daddy had just gone home to Argentina because she was doing so much better. He is desperately trying to get back to Duke and Mommy, Ursula, is having to be strong for her little princess warrior. Pray that they will be re-united soon and that Alexia can hang on.

November Road

Thought I would post a few pictures of some November happenings. Christopher and I were saying last night how fast this month seems to be going. Reminds me of the line from my new favorite song "So Small" by Carrie Underwood:

While you're sittin' 'round thinking 'bout what you can't change

and worrying about all the wrong things

Time's flyin by

Movin' so fast

You better make it count

'cause you can't get it back...

When you figure out love is all that matters after all

It sure makes everything else seems so small.

Happy 28th birthday!

Thanksgiving Feast at Elias' school

We hope everyone has a peaceful thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for...our friends and family included!
