Vanderbilt visit

Hello all,
As you can see I'm still up 12:24 at night, I guess I will pay for this on Wed. morning:) LOL
Christy, Dave, Hayden and Mason made a trip to Nashville to Vanderbilt today to have a swallow study done because they could not get it scheduled before surgery in Little Rock hospital. So Hayden did ok which is a surprise because he is so picky about what he eats. They of course have to give the usual graham crackers, applesauce mixed with the barrium which tastes yukky to say the least. But praise God the therapist said he was doing great and that his swallowing was great. They will fax a report to Little Rock so Dr. AlMefty will have a baseline for follow up after surgery. We thank you for the prayers being lifted on Hayden and familys behalf.

Donita, Terry and Family;
There are no words to express how heavy my heart is to the ordeal you are going through. I have been praying and will continue to pray for Hayden and the entire family.

Donita, Terry, Christy, and David,
We love you all! Our hearts and prayers go with you to Arkansas. We know what God did in Hayden's life before, so we know He can do the same and more.

My faith is often wimpy, but our God is not. So you don't have to have strong faith, just weak faith in an ALL-POWERFUL GOD. I'm praying He will do abundantly above all we can ask or even think.

Donita and All,
I did not realize you were leaving so soon. I must have missed the memo, I thought it was later in the month. I wanted to do something for Hayden. Can you send me a address to mail a card to? I am praying for Hayden and his doctors all the time, as well as his Mom and Dad and you and Terry. Please feel our prayers. I love this blog.

Dear Friends,
Alisa is right, homecoming was just not homecoming without you!
I am so sad and so sorry you are facing the days ahead. But please know for sure you are being prayed for by many and you are loved!

We miss you already, but we know you are in the arms of our Father. We are praying for your safe trip to Little Rock today, and hope to hear from you soon!

A Christian writer friend of mine in Chattanooga knows a couple expecting twins, and one was diagnosed in utero with a chordoma. Maybe your family will have the opportunity to minister to them in the future. Praying about the MRI. AND, of course, the surgery.
