Heavy heart

Here are some pictures from today. It is absolutely freezing here. Brrrrr.....

Emery is a big girl now. She has started table food and whole milk this week. We went to the NICU grad clinic this past week and they did her 12 month check up. They did a series of Bayley Tests with her which she did great with. She pointed to the baby, ball and spoon in the pictures when they asked her where they were and when they asked about where the shoe was she looked down at her foot! THATS MY GIRL!!!

She loves her food and milk. She has done great with it and we are weaning her off the bottle too, cold turkey. She has done great. She is my little trooper. She is so smart too. And I am not just saying that because she is mine!

Several things for you all to pray for (and the reason for my heavy heart):

Andrew Reed and his family. They go to our church. Andrew is 15 and has been missing since Wed. Someone thinks they spotted him in the town we live in which is small, so we are on the lookout etc. Please pray God brings this child home safe and that he has a place that he is staying and not on the streets, as it is extremely cold her and in the single digits at night.

Pray for Janessa and her family. This is a friend of mine from Highschool's sister.

She is pregnant and found out she has breast cancer. Here is an update I got from her sister today:

"Thank you so much. She started chemo on Tuesday. She is feeling a little tired but that's it. Her liver and chest scans both came back clear. That means that the cancer has not spread to those organs. Which is AWESOME. They can't can her bones until the baby comes. They said it is unlikely that the cancer is in the bones since it is not in her organs. WHEW! She will do 12 weeks of chemo which will put her 4-6 weeks from her due date. They will decide at that point if HE is strong enough and will take him early. She will then have 12 more weeks of chemo 3 weeks after HE comes. At that point they will decide when to do the double masactomy and remove her ovaries. She's ready. Did you notice that she is having a BOY! "

Please keep her and her husband and their 1 year old daughter in your prayers.

Also, please pray for my dear friend Jacqueline. She is having more tests run as they are trying to determine if she has MS. They also this week got back her blood test results and feel she might along with the other symptoms have Lupus or something in that family. Please pray for her that she will be eased from pain and that the Dr.s will determine all that is wrong and be able to treat it!

Also, if you haven't checked out www.cfhusband.blogspot.com yet, you MUST. You will be truly blessed!

Well, I guess that is about it for now.
