Memories To Last a Lifetime.....

Happy Saturday, Blog Friends!

Baby Kinley continues to improve everyday.

She will continue her IV antibiotics for another

week and they have set a target discharge date of Christmas Eve.

That means, she'll be home just in time for Santa's visit.

=)

Thank you all for praying for this sweet baby.

God continues to answer prayers on her behalf.

Ok, I told you in my last post I had a road trip to tell you about.

Those of you who know Hayden, the cutest 6 year-old ever, 

know the #1 reason he is an Auburn fan is because of this guy......

Aubie

He's been to many a football games just to see Aubie.

We've waited at countless Tiger Walks to

see Aubie and give him a High-Five as he went by.

BUT....

We've never gotten a picture with him.....

Never been close to him for more than mere seconds.....

Never spent time with him.....

Until Wednesday night.

=)

Haley, Kylee, Lois, Hayden, and myself loaded

up and went to Auburn to watch the Women's Basketball game.

Haley loves basketball and actually went to watch the game.

Kylee loves road trips and just went to be going somewhere.

Hayden, however, went with one purpose 

in mind and one purpose only.....

 to see Aubie.

Lois and I have been to a basketball game

before so we knew we would get to see Aubie.

He's generally all over the Auburn Arena

entertaining the crowd, and getting everybody fired up.

We just didn't know how amazing

the night would be for a certain 6 year-old.

I am confident there are not enough words

in my vocabulary to adequately describe it to you.

So, maybe these will help.....

Not only did he see Aubie, he spent time with Aubie.

He sat with Aubie.

He watched the game with Aubie.

He was on the sidelines with Aubie.

He cheered with Aubie.

He played with Aubie.

Most of all, he was loved on by Aubie.

Each and every minute was PRICELESS.

I confess, I cried.

It was so magical and so sweet.

If you only knew how much Hayden loves

him and how long he has wanted to meet him.

He said, "I've waited 6 years for this; It's the best day EVER!"

Oh, and for the record, I wasn't alone, Cousin cried too.

I am confident we were the only 2

people crying at the basketball game.

 It didn't matter.

My girls were laughing us.

We didn't care.

This smile.....  

Made EVERYTHING worth it. 

It was worth getting off work early.

It was worth the 2 hour trip to get there.

It was worth every penny spent.

It was worth not getting home until Midnight.

It was worth being tired the next day.

It. Was. So. Worth. It.

It was a perfect day filled
with memories that will last him a lifetime.

=)

Here are a few of my personal favorites.....

In case you were wondering, Auburn beat South Florida 62-45.

War Eagle!

Have a wonderful weekend, Blog Friends!

Mine is off to a great start.

It's Noon and I am still in my pj's.

I have nowhere to be until a Christmas Party tonight at 7.

Love you MUCH!

Kinley Update.....

Yesterday was a rough day for baby Kinley and her Family.

They fought her fever all day long.

Her feet were purple, her respirations

were in the 60's and they called in a special team.

Imagine how hopeless you would feel watching your baby

suffer with a 104-105 degree fever while Nurses packed ice all around her.

They decided to do a 2nd spinal tap yesterday.

Kinley is being treated for meningitis and is now on heavy duty IV antibiotics.

Here's all good news.

Yep, it's a bunch.

Temp right now is 98.3.

Yes, you read that right 98.3!

Sounds to me like someone is responding quite nicely to her antibiotics.

=)

Brain swelling has gone down.

Can we say, Thank you, Jesus!

=)

=)

Barring any further complications, she will be home for Christmas.

=)

Remember that verse I shared with you yesterday?

It is so fitting I believe I will share it again.

Thank you all for your prayers for this sweet baby girl and her family.

They are very good friends of mine and are near and dear to my heart.

I will have another post for you later on tonight or tomorrow.

I CAN'T WAIT to share our road trip last night with you.

It was so exciting!

Have a great day, Blog Friends!

Love you MUCH!

Sweet Baby Kinley.....

Good Morning, Friends!



Tis the Season to be EXTREMELY busy.

I finally bought my first Christmas present last week.

Needless to say, I am way behind, and have a lot of catching up to do.

Somehow, in the next 10 days, it will get done.

It always does.

I say 10 days because Santa comes to our house Christmas Eve.

I will have to explain that later.

This morning I have a special prayer request for you.

Kinley, the 7 month-old daughter of my very good friend,

Candace, was transferred to Children's Hospital in Birmingham last night.

They had to call an ambulance Monday after she had a seizure.

They admitted her to our local hospital and diagnosed her with pneumonia.

Despite IV antibiotics and other treatment,

she has continued to run an extremely high fever.

Last night, she developed swelling on her brain

and the decision was made to transfer her to Children's.

Last update, they were doing a spinal tap.

Please pray for this sweet baby girl.

Pray for her Mommy and Daddy that they will

have comfort and peace during this terrifying time.

Also, pray for those caring for her to have wisdom and compassion.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all

we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us

~Ephesians 3:20~

I will update you as soon as I know something.

Have a great day, Blog Friends!

Love you MUCH!
