Friday March 12
Lailah just got out of surgery. Today she had a MRI and a port installed for the chemo and other meds. No more IV's and no more gas to knock her out! Yay! She did perfectly fine through everything today and woke up mad, hungry, and ready for lunch. Heather's sister, aunt, mom, and dad made it in yesterday. It's great to have them here to help out with the Bug. Heather and I got out of the hospital grounds last night for the first time since our arrival 4 days ago. Mommy and Daddy got to go on a hot date to Wal-Mart! Since Heather is staying in Memphis near the hospital, we had to get all her toiletries and some grub for the room. We are at the Grizzly house now, but will be moved to the Target or Ronald McDonald house Monday. Grizzly house is for short term, 7 days, and is set up more like a hotel. RMH or Target House is setup for longer stays, more like an apartment. If all goes well with her first hit of chemo Monday I hope to return to Mobile Wednesday and get back to work Thursday. I want to work through the next week and get caught up on everything that is undoubtedly lagging behind, being as I am the only one in the store that does what I do. I must say that Lowe's has been terrific in supporting us, both personally and professionally. A few key people have stepped up to the plate in a HUGE way, to whom I will be eternally grateful. Lots of fundraising ideas are coming to life as we speak, and much effort is going into the planning of those events. Anything raised will be greatly appreciated. A separate account has been established at Wachovia Bank and every dime will be spent on Lailah's care or given back to St. Jude's. I have always heard about the good work done here and provided at no charge, but the scale and scope of what all they do and offer must be experienced to be believed. Everyone we have met here has been great, and I encourage you to support them whenever the chance occurs. Thanks again for all the prayers, God is hearing you and is giving us supernatural peace in the midst of this storm.

Heather and Dwayne,
ReplyDeleteYou are in our prayers and we are really praying for that precious baby girl. Isn't it great that God does not change, what he did in the past he will do now all we have to do is BELIEVE, which is the hard part. We are praying God will increase your faith. Oh by the way I am Linda's sister in Virginia. Linda is forwarding all the pictures and we really enjoy getting them. Love to you all. God bless and keep you strong in your faith. Tell Vicky, Hamp, HOlly and Nancy hello and we love them too. Sue Simmons Thompson
P.S. I forgot to tell you I placed her name a littel bit about her on The Pentecostal Meeting Place prayer request and already there was a prayer for her by someone. Love ya'll
