She's coming home finally!!

Makenzie has been in Disney World with her dad, Michael since Aug. 4th. This is the longest she has been away from me, and her birthday was on the 6th. For her special day(that I missed) I completely redecorated her room. She has no idea what her present is, but when she opens up her bedroom door, I think she'll know. I bought all new bedding, lamps, throw blankets, rugs, ect... I also hung stars from the ceiling above her bed. We put huge circles on the walls and painted her initials in them. I hope she likes it. The best part was that I went to Sips n strokes and painted a funky tree for her room. It matches perfectly! Happy Birthday Kenz!!!

Faith

Hi everyone- I need your prayers for my sister Faith. She has been doing so well recently. She just graduated college and is planning to go to grad school in the fall. She moved home for the summer, and somehow developed a sore on her big toe. For those that know her, she has no feeling from her waist down due to her spina bifida. Well, the other night, her dog of 11 years, little bit, started to lick the sore on her toe while she was sleeping. Him being a dog, he didn't know any better, and bit her entire left big toe completely off! She lost alot of blood because she slept right throught the whole thing! When mom found her they rushed her to Children's where they stopped the bleedig and sewed her up. Unfortunately- she will probably require surgery to fix the damage- although she will never get the toe back. That is where she is this morning- at the doctor- seeing what they think. The worst part about all this is the emotional damage this could cause her. Her vulnerability is so evident, and that is hard for her to accept. She has to endure so much, one can only wonder how much is too much? Please pray for her physical healing as well as her spirit. She really needs an uplifting! I'm gong to visit her for the next couple days and take Maddie. Maybe this will help. Also, Makenzie is in Disney World with her dad, Michael. She will be gone for seven days, the longest I've ever let her go with him. Plus, her birthday is tomorrow! I can't believe I won't see her on her 9th birthday! I know she is having a blast and that Michael is keeping her safe- but still, I'm her mom and I worry. She starts 4th grade next Thursday. When she comes home we are gonna do some major mom&Kenz shopping time!

Blessings to all,
Crystal
