Humbled

Right now, I am sitting in a chair facing Kadyn who is lying in a hospital bed...again.  I am looking through the texts, emails, and posts people have sent and I am so completely overwhelmed.  I have been trying to type my feelings for over an hour and it is just too hard! There is absolutely no way to express how much we appreciate all of the prayers, thoughts, support, and love.  Kadyn is such a special little girl.  She is stronger and more brave than I could ever be! Her smile and spirit are contagious.  While getting her IV today, more and more nurses kept coming into the treatment room to listen to her.  One nurse finally said, "I guess we know who we need to visit if we are ever having a bad day"

Yes, she was talking about the 3 1/2 year old who was having tremendous stomach pain,  had just been poked and prodded for over an hour without any pain meds,  told she would not be going home as she had planned, but spending the next few nights in the hospital, had not had a piece of food all day, and then taken to the treatment room for an IV where she was able to make numerous people smile.  

God is so great! He made Kadyn exactly as she needs to be for the obstacles she will endure.  

Today has been a very scary and unexpected day.  Each word spoken, typed, and written about Kadyn was felt by her and the rest of our family.  Kadyn was lifted up in prayer by so many people today.  There is nothing more powerful than a group of people praying to God for the same thing.  THANK YOU!

Kadyn will get better.  She has been on a very hard road for a long time.  She is still fighting.  We continue to pray!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Love, 
Katie
