Prayers

We are preparing for a fun filled day in Ann Arbor tomorrow. (well, a little sarcasm this time!) This will be Lindsay's first official clinic day post transplant. That means that all testing will be done. Blood, ekg, echo, etc. We also get the joy of getting a swallow study, seeing the neurologist, and opthamologist. First appointment starts at 9am and last one is at 1:45. WHEW! I'm sure with a few visitors along the way. ;-) Yes, nurses, the princess will arrive around 8:45am! ha ha
Please pray that everything goes smoothly and pray that there are no signs of rejection. She hasn't indicated, but we never know.
The main reason that I titled this post "Prayers" is because I am requesting you all send them to a very special heart mom friend of mine, Rebecca Butcher and her husband Scott. Their little miracle, Luke, will make his appearance tomorrow and I cannot even imagine what a roller coaster of a day this will be for them both. So hard to imagine that this baby will not be Annabelle but then again so excited that because of Annabelle, Luke is here. Man, I just don't know what to say. I just shed happy and sad tears all at the same time as I'm sure they will do tomorrow too. I love them both dearly as because of them, I prepared for Lindsay. When they lost their precious baby girl, I fell apart as if she was my own. Now, they will have another beautiful gift from God and I ask that you pray for their strength for tomorrow. Strength to get through all of the emotion and enjoy every minute of what His plan has brought to them.

I know I don't have pictures up as promised (yeah, slacker I know!) but soon! Lots to do!
Love, Suzie
