I am home now and have one precious day to catch up on housework (laundry, dishes, groceries, cooking, cleaning, dusting, changing sheets, etc) .. work on a garage sale (need to sell some things) .. and join you here on MedHelp later this evening.
Love to you all .. and I've got a lot to share with you on the WL&D information and on my personal weight battle throughout all of this. Oh .. and I have a clown video to make .. more on that soon ...
I sent Kalista a message and I hope that everything is going well for you and yours. Happy Easter! I shall peek in and see how Ms. Kalista is doing today. As always, my prayers and thoughts be with you! ; )
Thank you all so very much. Your thoughts and prayers are upholding us and we are most grateful and blessed. Many, many thanks!
You can see Kalista and keep up with her progress. Kalista's CaringBridge website name is kalistavesely and the web address is: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kalistavesely
JoyRenee - our sincerest thanks and appreciation for your prayers and adding Kalista to your prayer chain. Our family believes in the power of prayer and we are hoping to have Kalista on as many prayer chains as possible.
My husband is a youth pastor, his father the senior pastor of a small inner city church. Our numbers may be few but our prayers are very passionate and strong. We've seen many miracles, specifically with cancer and healing.
So I'm going to put Kalista on our prayer chain and let everyone know. We'll be praying fervently for her. She has such a sweet, strong spirit, just from what I've read. She has a tough road ahead of her.
I hate cancer with a passion. I know God does, too. *HUGS* We'll be praying!!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Ranae! May God watch over Kalista and make her better very soon!
We believe strongly in the power of prayer as well and SOOOOOO appreciate our MedHelp family!
We're heading downstairs in about 15 minutes with surgery in 1 hr 15 minutes. Anxious and most hopeful ..
My prayers are with Kalista and Ranae. May God hold them in his arms and bring strength and healing.
We believe strongly in the power of prayer, and i know that the Lord will help, She is certainly in our prayers
I'm thinking of you and your in my prayers at this time
Magic Wand
I wish I had a magic wand
To make it go away;
I'd wave my wand over you Kalista
Until you were okay.
I'd think good thoughts; I'd send you love;
I'd transmit healing vibes;
My wand and I would surely beat
Whatever the doc prescribes.
But there is no magic wand, so
I cannot cast a spell;
Just know you're often in my thoughts,
And I hope you'll soon be well!
Somehow "thank you" doesn't seem to adequately express the gratitude and warmth in my heart for your thoughts, prayers and friendship. Your best wishes and caring hearts are such a blessing.
Tonight Kalista is feeling much better after receiving 4 units of blood and 1 unit of platelets. Her color is better, her spirits are brighter and she just offered to share her new "tink" (Tinkerbell) blankie with her dad. (A volunteer made it and brought it to the hospital .. it is warm and snuggly).
Her dad just turned off the lights and the TV is on, the laptop illuminates a small corner of the room and one muted spotlight is over my head as I type. Kalista just said, "this is cozy!"
As we sit here amidst iv's, blood transfusing, balloons, stuffed animals and a room decorated with Sponge Bob decorations the social worker helped her siblings do .. there is a warmth and appreciation that she is remarkably better than she was .. and hope for her future. We are blessed!
My prayers to Kalista and Ranae's entire family in this difficult time. I have passed her situation along to all of the mighty prayer warriors that I am in contact with. May swift healing power be with Kalista now and all of the days of her very long life to come.
They are both in my prayers. I will be adding them to our prain chain at church.
She and Ranae will be in my prayers. I know how they all must feel.
(((HUGS)))

Ditto. What a trying time for them all. I will be lifting them up in prayer.
I saw Ranae's post earlier and am definitely praying for Kalista; and for Ranae and her whole family.
