Update on Matthew

Things are still bad for Matthew. He did make it through the night last night, but his lungs are worse today, and he is so medicated that he thinks he is better and going home soon. I know this is so very hard on his mom. Please continue the prayers for healing and comfort for hims, and strength and comfort for his family.
God Bless the Litchfield family! Please!

My friend is having a hard time.

Please, if you read this, say a prayer for Matthew and his mom. The doctors are worried now, and he has been vomiting blood, has fluid around his lungs, and is just a step from going to PICU. The doctors have even said that it is one day at a time, and that he wouldn't survive his transplant that he needs, I don't know the whole story, but I do know that things are not looking good right now. So please pray that God heals this young man here on earth so that his mom doesn't have to feel like I do. It is so hard surviving the death of a child, it is a fate I wouldn't wish on any woman. Today is a really yucky day, worrying about him, and remembering that feeling of the worse fear, and the hard decisions, and just being at a total loss of what to do and how to be, and wondering how to handle every minute of the day. It just isn't right for a mom to have to give up her child in such a hard battle like FA, or Cancer or any other illness that can take the life of the ones we cherish. FA sucks, Cancer sucks and I pray that one day the doctors will find the way to save all of our loved ones that deal with these issues.
May God bless us all,
And comfort those who need it,

Praise the Lord!

Hello my friends, just a little post with good news! The boy that I spoke about a couple posts ago has had an improvement! His counts have finally started coming up, not much but a little. I read his post at his site , and his mom's post tells all. Just wanted to let you know that the Lord has answered more prayers!
Thank You Lord!

Well, yesterday was John's birthday. He would have been 13 years old, had he made it through transplant. The day went okay, good moments and bad, but we had a cake last night at supper and wished him a happy birthday in heaven. And of course we think of him always, but especially last night when we all were laughing, and thinking how John must be just rolling on the clouds laughing at us. He had such a good sense of humor. Yes, I am missing him a lot today. But he is in a much better place, and I know that. I just can't help but be lonely without him sometimes since I spent so much time just taking care of him. Sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself without him and his medical things to deal with. So what do I do to try to make it easier? I stay busy! Between my mom, a friend named Dinah, and myself, we have completed 110 bookmarks for our Ladies Day at Church , and I gave them to the ministers wife yesterday so that nobody had to worry about that any more. I have been asked to make one for a friend of mine and will do that later today. Other than that, I am printing pictures for a new picture frame my loving husband gave to me, and also crocheting angel Christmas ornaments. So basically, besides housework, I craft a lot and do things for my family and friends. So, now you know how I deal with some of the issues that I have since loosing my son. So that about does it for now, until next time, may God bless you all.
