Jackson had his MRI today and not only did our pediatrician call from out of the office to get the results but they were completely Unremarkable. Translation - big smart brain and nothing extra! :) Yeah!!! God is Good!!!!! Thank you Thank you for all of your prayers, I know that is why things turned out as well as they did.
God was in the details in this procedure as well - We got excellent treatment and care at All Children's and our pediatrician was keeping tabs on Jackson during the day so she would have the results asap. Not to mention the results were provided within a couple of hours of completion of the procedure. Did I mention All Children's was GREAT! They took such great care of Jackson and really catered to his being a toddler. So many little things just fell right in line. Thank you Lord!!
No pictures this time, I just didn't have the composure to bring my camera. :)
Love to all!

One more little hurdle
Hi everyone,
You know, God doesn't promise us an easy life! He does promise to provide us strength when we don't have any, peace in an unsettling situation and love unconditionally! The beauty of children is that through their struggles we are given the OPPOTUNITY to experience that more so than a lot of people get to in life. The Bible says that we are to give Thanks in everything.
1 Thessalonians 17-18 ... pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Tonight I am giving thanks that my child has been a miracle in so many ways and he's only 16 months old. He was given to Stuart and I after basically realizing we might not have kids of our own, he was unphased by an abruption of his lifeline at birth, he had a cranial helmet to reshape his head and got it off in record 3 months, had surgery at 15 months old with no complications and wonderful healing and is now facing an issue that requires us to have an MRI of his head.
As his mommy, I know this MRI is just going to be a confirmation that everything is just fine. I do not believe there is anything significantly wrong with him and I claim in the precious healing blood of Jesus that whatever is causing his symptoms are easily fixed and we will have one more major miracle to add to his list! If you will, please pray for Jackson that God's hedge of protection be over him tomorrow and every day, that the anesthesia for tomorrow will go without a hitch and that the results will show nothing other than a very smart brain! :)
The hurt I feel for him having to have endured so much in such a short period of time makes me wonder how Mary bore the Son of Man knowing that he would save us all. I cannot imagine the pain she endured when he was brutalized and died for us all, including her. I just give Thanks to God for allowing me to experience his love, peace and strength one more time in a big way. God is good all the time, and all the time HE is good!
Thanks for your prayers!! Love to all!

Feed the Bay
On Nov. 23 our church along with 20 other churches in the Brandon area worked together to purchase enough food for 14 food pantries in the area in hopes we'd stock their shelves for 6 months. The goal was 250,000 pounds of food. It was a family affair. All 6 of us went to the grocery story and got items. We had a budget and a list so it was an exercise in math, giving, service and God's blessings to us! It was a wonderful experience!
Happy Thanksgiving!
A couple of cute snaps from Thanksgiving! The food was yummy, the company unbeatable and the day - perfect!
