Sweet Heavenly Smiles

Today, Miss Kyla Parker, went to be with our Lord and Savior. She has a new body now, one without CF and with lungs and a liver that work perfectly. We would ask you to continue to pray for The Parker family and for this entire community that was blessed to know Miss Kyla. We feel blessed to have been a part of this journey, if only in prayer. Continue to pray for the Lords hug to be felt by all of the children who will miss Kyla so much. Please also pray for my words tomorrow, as I have been called back to the school that I taught at, for crisis intervention (aka counseling students who I once taught, who are now grieving). My heart is broken for these precious children and my prayer is that they see the Lord through this situation and that anger and bitterness (while appropriate, I am aware) not set in to their little hearts. Thank you to all of you who have prayed for Kyla and her family. Please know that they appreciate it more than you will ever know.

Happy Belated Birthday

With all the madness around here, I forgot to say Happy Birthday to my Papaw! We love you very much! Thank you for all you do!!!

Love,

Thank you Aunt Sue

My great, great Aunt Sue made me the most adorable tobaggan. She had made me one earlier, but she didn't realize how big my brain is, so it was a little too small. My new one is perfect and even has a little room to grow! Thank you so much!!!

Love,

Daddy's Back

I just wanted to update everyone to let you know that my daddy did amazing. His surgery went well and he is already back at home. We were amazed that he got to come home so quickly. I sure was glad, because I have missed him! Luckily, Grammy took me to see Mama and Daddy last night at the hospital. While I was there, I got to see the Aikens and the Stolzfus' too. We had lots of visitors this afternoon. The Livingstons, The Stricklers, Chad Laney, Alissa, and Grammy and Grandpa have been here. We feel so blessed to have everyone supporting our family during this. The Lord is amazing. Daddy is walking better than he has in years and feels okay. He is still having a hard time with staying awake, but I guess that is a good thing. It will be real easy to get bored in bed! He was able to walk around the house for awhile today. Mama is just totally amazed. Thanks again for your prayers and support. We love you!!!

Love,

Lucy McLean

P.S. While Daddy was in the hospital, Grammy and Grandpa took me downtown for my very 1st Halloween Festival. I couldn't miss this Brevard tradition. Here I am, dressed up in my "Pea in the Pod" costume!

Pray for Daddy

Dear Blog Readers,

Tomorrow morning, my daddy is going to have surgery on his back. He and mom are both pretty scared about this. Please pray that the Lord protect him through this and that he gets back to playing with me really soon. It is already breaking his heart not to be able to pick me up. He has been in a lot of pain this week. We pray that this will relieve his pain and that he doesn't have to go through this again. I can't wait to be doing this again...
