Who's kids are these, anyway?
The moment Emily was born, I had an overwhelming knowledge deep in my heart that she did not belong to me or to Jason. We may have been used in the process, but I knew in my heart that she belonged to God and that my role was to love her, teach her and trust God with her life. Nothing is different with Noah. I know he isn't mine and I know that somehow God loves him more than Jason, Em or I ever could. I am sad for any parent on earth who has tried to control their children's lives in any way because I am sure they have strained relationships in one way or another. Emily and Noah are God's kids. Jason and I are simply some extremely blessed parents being graced with their lives intertwined in ours. I am truly humbled by this and am so grateful to God for this truth. Just some stuff for you all to chew on... Posted by Picasa

    thanks ade, shared that with my mom today and it made her cry. It's so true how our lives are not our own. My brother is in ICU too right now kinda new for us going on day 4 only and it's a crazy time, it's hard to see your loved ones hurt. Esp. big brothers you always thought were stronger than you and now you have to be strong for them. I'm praying for your family, remember day by day girl.
    love Trish Cooley

    Boo,
    Leave it to the people who talk medical words all day (me and Danar, etc) to say that no news is good news at this point! I've noticed that Noah is very photogenic - he obviously takes after his parents. By the way, you and Noah are never far from my thoughts.
    Love to all of you.

    Emily,
    You're an awesome BIG SISTER! You are so cute holding your little brother so gently. I'm proud of you, Emily. Love, Meredith :- )

  10. I'm 55-year-old from Paris, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months.
