I hope today was a day full of rest and progress and healing and wowing the dr's who are 'out of ideas'. One of my repeating prayers for you and for your family is that God use this situation and experience to undeniably show that HE is in control and that there are some things ONLY He can do. In the meantime I pray that y'all are comfortable, supported, healthy, rested, and at peace.<br />Hope today was miraculous - and that tomorrow surpasses all imagination because HE is and HE DOES.<br /><br />Lauren Betchan in Spring, TX ( a momma in sprng)<br /><br />And if you were wondering what we did this weekend we went to the Houston Greek festival and ate too much food. We went to church and fed the ducks and cooked Cauliflower Soup and Sowthwestern Chowder. I'm about to go dig up some pumpkin shaped sugar cookies if my girlies left any and then I'm going to take a shower and pack for a business trip. UGH.

It's a fountain to the right of the castle and it has Snow White and the 7 Dwarves in white stone. It's very lush and peaceful. I made a wish for you, bet you can guess!! I was looking forward to reading your Daddy's blog. I started with today and was happy to hear you had a good day.<br /><br />You have such devoted parents and such a fan club. Most of us can not imagine what your family is going through on a daily basis. You are such a lucky little girl that God gave you such amazing parents and sister. <br /><br />I know inside your little body is the MOST amazing spirit that is just busy as can be healing your body. You are doing great Bella. <br /><br />Tomorrow my little boy and I are going to church in the evening and I will be focusing my prayers on you and your family.<br /><br />Hey!

Miss Bella I put you in the church prayer book again tonight, like I do each weekend and I know many people in my church and many of my facebook friends are cheering you on and praying for you sweet girl. You have to keep moving step by step forward to getting better and stronger. So glad Friday was a stable day for you and SUPER excited to hear that mom & dad have removed a layer of bandages on your leg. Your skin does look awesome!<br /><br />We did a bunch of yard work here in NJ today. It was such a pretty day and we cut all the dried up summer flowers down (that made me sad to do), but my butterfly bush is still blooming and it had a ton of small whitish yellow butterflies having a picnic! Of course I thought of you and the day you will say: " I had this rare skin condition, but when they brought me home from the hospital, it went away."<br /><br />I am also sending positive energey, strength and prayers to Mommy, Daddy and Ali.<br /><br />ALl our prayers - Tina in NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-89375459785824922352010-10-09T16:11:06.376-07:002010-10-09T16:11:06.376-07:00Dear Bella,
