God's Boxes I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold. He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be!" He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child, they're all here with me.." I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go." We should consider all of our friends a blessing. Send this to a friend today just to let them know you are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life. A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end. It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends. But the treasure inside for you to see, is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.

After 3 weeks in hospital, my daddy is finally coming home today. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you, for all your kind thoughts, prayers and pm's, through this difficult time for my family.
My dad is now getting better, but we still have a long way to go, but is allowed home, on one condition, that he doesnt go near a golf course for about 6 months lol.
Groucho: It makes ya stop, and think how fast loved ones can be taken. Living in NY my first thought was we were under attack again. So i'm going to ask God to Bless All Troops and say Thank You for serving our country.
prettymama: Your welcome and you know you can always come here for comfort.Or you can always write in Angels Are Amoung Us.There;s extra boards i put in the f/s.
PegasusInAR: I read about this on GC too. Thanks for sharing it here. We will definately keep your granddaughter in our prayers. That's a lot to deal with! May God's grace be with you and your family. May God's healing power be upon your Granddaughter.
I probably will not get any further information until Monday or so since that is probably the day that my son's significant other will get out of the hospital she is in and will move into the Ronald McDonald House that is attached to the hospital that Vanessa Nicole, my granddaughter is in. Only Vanessa's parents are allowed to visit and/or call in to get information about Vanessa. Therefore, I will probably not be posting updates until then.
I was not aware of this board since had not scrolled down far enough to see it so I am just now posting this here.
She was born today at 6 pounds 11 ounces. I do not know her length. She was born by C-section today. That was the good news part of this message.
Now, for the bad news part. She has only 2 sections instead of 4 sections to her heart and her heart, spleen and liver are on the wrong side and there is also something going on with her kidneys. When my father told me this, he also told me that Andy (my son) mentioned that there might be a chance that the heart could be fixed with or without a heart transplant - not sure about this, needless to say, I will be doing a bit of research on the Internet today about this.
Gentlegiant101: Your in our thoughts and prayers.A special prayer for your mother to guide her from further abusing you.Please know you can always come to this board for support.
Pray that I may be lucky enough to avoid future abuse. Was abused emotionally/psychologically growing up. Have come a ways since than. In light of receiving services from institutionalised organisation need for a name of person in case of major medical decision. Only person...my abuser. My decisions are not accepted legally and thus those of abuser (Mother) take more importance. I do see myself winding up in her care/abuse if the worst case scenerio presents itself. Have talked to the secretary of the deputy who represents me provincially because the Provincial government is the employer of this organisation. She says sending me to be abused is not tolerable. Thanks in advance.
Groucho: It does make you wonder doesn't it.I feel for those parents and the children that we'll be tramatized for years to come.Let's say a prayer for all.
baddessi: Thanks Do and Bad.. I knew something about that, but appreciate the link.. Hopefully if they go to Denver they can be accomadated.. I am not sure about what Utah has.. I am thinking more though that they would go to the Childrens Hosp. in Denver.
ScarletRose: sorry to hear about all your losses. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I think what Dolittle posted is right, and there is a Ronald McDonald house in Denver nearby Children's Hospital for families with situtations like this. It's worth checking out.
Thanks everyone.. I haven't had a year of bad news since 1980.. and it just seems this year has been extremely testing..
everytime my phone rings I get sweaty palms..
Foxy.. thanks for the link.. I have another Friend, Helen.. who also has one of those.. the other night we all met at my brothers cafe after learning about Carol and when we mentioned how Trudy had died Helen told us about hers.. said if it comes out she has to get to the Hospital..
ScarletRose: Sorry to hear of your losses and I pray for you and your Mom. The family in the accident have my sympathies as well. If they take the little girl to a big city hospital, they usually have housing for the family of a child patient very inexpensive and sometimes at no charge if they are unable to pay. They just need to ask at the hospital! Hope this helps MsScarlet!!
prettymama: I will say a prayer tonight for your family during this difficult time. I am sorry to read such sad news and hope your family can become strong again soon..

My mom and I both have lost 2 very dear friends of ours this past week..
Trudy died on Saturday night after her Cather ?? came out.. A tube into her heart.. (I am still confused on what the proper name of the procedure was).
Carol died of a heart attack earlier this week.
These are both sudden losses and have really shaken up our small towns.
We also had a family of 5 get hit with a car in front of the Court House yesterday evening.. we knew this family very well.. the baby and mother escaped without injury, the father ended up with scrapes and bruises.. the 2 year old ended up completely under the car and managed to just have bruises and scrapes as well.. but, the 4 year old has a broken pelvis and a broken femur. She is going to be in the hospital for quite some time. They are still uncertain about her growth plate. She will also be moved to a larger city hospital such as Childrens in Denver, or maybe one in Utah.
This family needs your prayers due to the long distance which can't be avoided. The family is not that financially set to get a home in the new area.. so let's pray for temporary housing to which the mother and other children can reside during the time her 4 year old daughter is being medically treated.
Thankyou..
Also.. Elaine is a liver transplant survivor.. she is over her first 3 years from surgery.. she ended up getting Strep throat and is having difficulty fighting it off. She is limited with intake of antibiotics. And was put into the hospital this morning. Let's pray for her to become strong enough to fight off the strep and allow her to heal quickly.
