Holly and Maya,
I love your web page! Just the way it is--the ups and downs, the tears and laughter. That IS life with children like ours and YES people see Maya for the beautiful little girl she is. You have a gifted way of putting it all together. I rejoice with you as you go exploring and I pray with you when the difficult days come. Always love the photos!! You are both in our heart and prayers!!

Hi Mayafly, Hello Holly,
Oh I hope you DO get to add the Library back into your schedule! What a GRAND place it is!
I went to ours a couple of weeks ago and noticed that, not to far away, there's a circle of benches for folks to eat lunch outside...and you guessed it: There are all sorts of lil bronze children reading, laughing and playing. Not nearly as big as your two, but I bet you'd all be friends in just a minute (these are almost fair people, coming up to about your knee).
Of COURSE you came to mind right away.
It was pouring down rain, so I didn't stop to visit with them, but plan to do so soon.
I'm lucky to be friends with one of the Librarians...and she's coming by for coffee tomorrow. Now how cool is that?!
Since we've been snowed/iced in (doesn't take much to shut our lil city down), I've LOVED having a BUNCH of books to read.
Holly, have always loved what you've shared here. I see this site as a place to Celebrate Maya's life and your journey together; a place to laugh and cry and simply KNOW how valuable life is and that each moment is a treasure worthy of thrilling & exhaulting in......and as a place to let you know you don't travel alone.
You BOTH are remarkable.
Thanks for allowing us to glimpse your heart(s) and walk beside you albeit in tiny ways.
Caring about you always,
Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi guys! We have had a snow day from school today. It should have been just a delay, though. The roads weren't bad at all, and in fact we went skiing. :) The boys had a great time racing down the mountain while mom slowly meandered down. Hope you gals are doing well!

Hi Holly, Hello Mayafly!
Happy New Year to both of you.
Sorry, my Internet crashed Christmas night, and haven't been able to get on since then. Two loving folks from church meandered on over today and fixed it.(The snow made roads impossible, so the city's shut down and nobody's able to work--our snow is NOTHING compared to yours, grin, but we don't have the road equipment to set things to rights....so it's all closed down until things warm up and melt it all...praying for a wind, then, to dry it all up so it doesn't re-freeze.)
Prayers have been without ceasing tho.

I saw millions of pretty little snowflakes from the 17th floor - then I looked down at snowy topped trees that looked like puffs on a tree trunk. This snow was a pretty one because it wasn't overwhelming. I know you've gotten several of those flurry of snowflakes in your area too. But every year I still think it is so pretty - that is until I have to shovel it!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I know you all have seen a lot of snowflakes this year too.
For some reason I have a picture in my mind of Maya sitting in a window watching the snowflakes falling.

Glad you've been able to spend the day together in your wonderful lil nest.
Hi Mayafly,
Glad you're home....I know Santa found his way to your place....bet the word discharged" went to him by special fax, grin.

Hi Mom,
Gracious, that's a LOT of Tweaking/Adjusting/Adding/Shifting! Bless you.
Praying you all find the right combination of EVERYTHING and in the best possible balance, so our Princess is feeling better quickly(and far less puffy).
If Maya were Christmas Lights on a Christmas Tree....I'd say you'd have multiple strands (at LEAST a dozen), all blinking to different tunes (and each strand playing a symphony of parts), with Mama constantly making sure all the connections are correct and current and flowing freely, instraments are tuned......and understanding when it's time to call in the conductor (medical team)....you get the drift....hey, you LIVE it. And I know much of it is not nearly as lovely as Christmas lights, grin....but all worth it for Mayafly's magnificent GLOW!
Lifting you up.

Bless you.
Praying you're able to beat the clock and get home in time for Christmas.
Am confident Pookie is NOT opening the advent calander without Maya.....he'd find a way to make reports on what he discovered, if he was.
Am confident if blanket wasn't packed, someone will bring one, if they haven't already.
Santa ALWAYS knows where kids are! If he knows when you're sleeping and when you're awake, then he knows what bed you're in and where it's located! It's all part of the Christmas magic (that starts with the special birth we celebrate).

Keeper of the parade-goddess and her wise voice of the animals and overall source of interesting (often brilliant) perspective: aka Mayafly, grin.
YOU are the one who "grew" our girl into the awesome Princess that she is. She didn't become who she is in a bubble. She's had an Awesome Mom to guide her thru the storms.....ever teaching her they are NOT the end of the world....but rather different notes to be drawn into harmony and danced to! And my how you two dance! What a Celebration of Life you live!
Definitely rooting for 3-years-in-a-row OUT of club-med for the Holidays AND first Christmas in your new home! Praying it'll be so.

Wow Mayafly!
You're almost 12. WaHoo Princess! Way to go!
Sometimes I think you and Mocha share the same middle name: Elianna/God heard and answered.
God knew of my own need when Pandy died, and Mocha was born BEFORE that, so she'd be ready for me.
In your case I think God heard/answered your connection with Holly as your Mama. He knew you both, from the inside out. Knew what you both were needing, (then AND in the future), and knew you'd be a PERFECT match. And indeed you have been.
You've each enriched the other's life...and along the way you've enriched countelss others. So many people know and celebrate you, that you've NEVER even heard of. (Like the man from India across the street that owns Firehouse subs. His daughter's your age and so his entire family celebrates you. I popped in there the other day and he said: Isn't Maya due for another birthday soon? Give her our love.
My entire church celebrates you. And you've given hope and courage to one of our church families when they were in an auto-wreck, that's changed one of their children's life forever. YOU are part of the reason they celebrate each moment and each day.
People here in my building know about you and ask how you are....so 200 families of elderly and disabled think about you, pray for you, and take their cue from you and venture forth. (None of these folks know your last name or where you live, as we preserve your privacy)....but they know your essence, and celebrate your indomidable spirit, AND your brave, courageous and outstanding Mama.
All this to say, m'dear, that you touch more lives than you could ever possibly know. YOU make a difference. YOU send ripples of love, laughter an hope out into the world...simply by being yourself, and thru your Mama's willingess to share lil bits of your journey with us.
Heart-to-heart, surrounding you with Love, and Celebrating all of who you are.....on your Birthday and always.

Hi Maya, Hi Mom,
FANTABULOUS Pictures. Look like LOTS of giggly, sparkling fun!
GREAT Birdhouse. Can't wait to see how you decide to paint it!
Well, you've got me beat (Christmas Decorations) but not by much! I got out all my Holiday mugs, glasses and dishes today....and tomorrow my Aide and I will dig out all the boxes of decorations from under my bed (and wash the floor under there while we're at it, and send all the dust-bunnies outside). We'll put up my Winter-Theme'd shower curtain, back up my everyday nic-nacs (to make ROOM for all the Holiday stuff, grin) and hopefully have enough time to put away Summer clothes and pull out winter ones. Thennnnnn will get my Christmas Tree next week.

Hope a melody's been added to your fabulous inching, and soon you're in full song (ie as healthy as possible AND feeling good too).
Hope you have a splendid, sparkling time with those you love. Sounds like a living-hug to me!
Grateful for the two of you, and for every breath you take.
Grateful for Hello Kitty and all your fluff pals, and Pookie too. Grateful you've got plenty of colorful things to sort and a really REALLY good medical team.
Grateful for sight and being able to see color, for Mocha and my birds and plants. Grateful for my family, no matter how far away they are and how rarely we see eachother. Grateful for cell phones and internet so we can chat and explore the world from our homes.
Grateful for life.
Sending oodles of love your way.

These verses are so comforting. Continuing to pray!!!!!!!!!
Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Sounds like Miss Piggy has taken up residence with you too...I guess it could be worse "animal" could have moved in and really caused some problems! I loved the muppets when I was a kid too!

Hi Mayafly, Hello Mom,
Definitely sounds like you're BOTH feeling better than a couple of weeks ago!
Praying you both continue to be on the mend....and that you find exactly the right med that Maya's body can "work well" with! Praying too, that the discovery of this med will be smooth and easy and uncomplicated!!!
I LOVE November and always think of it as a month full of Thank You's. Today I'm grateful for the crisp cool weather, computers and internet so hugs can be given long-distance and otherwise strangers can come together in loving support. I'm grateful for an amazing church who's spent hours and money fixing up the apartment of someone they've never met, simply because I asked for help....so I'm grateful that God allows others, including me, to be His hands and feet sometimes. I'm grateful for ParaTransit (w.chair accessable public transportation) and the ability to use it, so I can go visit my friend in rehab....so, like you, I'm grateful for friends...and how they sometimes become the family we don't have near us.
I'm grateful for the two of you. For your indomidable spirits, your sense of fun, your desire to embrace life and squeeze every good bit out of it.
Praying you're feeling more and more "a part of" the new community you live in. That there are things that are becoming familiar and feel welcoming when you see them as you drive hither and yon.
Lifting you up in a g'zillion ways, at all times of day and night.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Much Love & Warm Support, and yup, Prayer-Songs (grin)

You make a splendid mermaid! Just lovely.
Looks like you had lots of fun.
Aren't hayrides great? (they make me sneeze, but I still LOVE them).
Glad you all have had extra help and also been up to doing extra things (huge smile). Am sure there are behind-the-scene-snafu's you're not sharing.....rooting for you thru them all.
That Lion-pumpkin is awesome. WOW!
NEVER occured to me to do anything other than smiley faces, back when I was still carving them. So many amazing ideas these days....but golly, that Lion beats them all. Imagine you so lots of creatively carved ones. Glad you got to go.
Yes, I'd giggle too, if I looked in the mirror and saw myself with pointed teeth. And Mocha'd probably try to steal them, lol.

I LOVE how frogs go from pollywogs to tadpoles to frogs. Amazing stuff. How awesme must be the Mind of God, to think up such amazing things as Frogs, Buterflies, Penguins and Weeping Willow Trees (and a host of other awe-filled creations). Hope you enjoy science.
I love looking under a microscope, looking thru binoculers and thru a telescope......do you like those things, Maya?
Lifting you up as you travel thru your zillion taxing (and often fun) therapies, not-so-fun medical appointments, treatments and etc.
Oh, are Wednesdays still spa day? Wednesday's always make me smile and think of you.
Hope it's a week filled with exciting wonders and good things (and some respit-breaks for Mama, so you can restore/renew your spirit as well.....so you're ready for the next adventure.

So glad the infection is clearing up and you have found a neat walking path. Alicia sleeps a lot also and when she is having a good day we make the best of it.
Alicia just finished up two years of Forteo injections for her bones . We see Endo on Tue to follow up and see what is next.

Hello Ladies,
Happy Saturday!
Oooo Glad you've discovered a good area for long walks! That certainly makes for some lovely outings (not many of those available here in our big city).
Glad the infection's on it's way O-U-T! Hope energy-levels are soon back up a bit.
Delighted to hear music therapy's finally back on the schedule. Hope it's a Perrrrrfect match!
Thinking of you and hoping you have a wonder-filled weekend.

Both of you continually change, rearrange and alter the lives of others, simply by being your amazing, awesome selves, and traveling thru each day. You have an incredible way of taking things as they are, and squeezing the best bits right out of any situation.....bits that others wouldn't even dream are there waiting for them.
Lifting you up in the dark times, the lost times, the waiting times, the squeezing times, and the good times.
And joining you up on the ceiling for laughter-filld tea-parties (complimens of Mary Poppins) and simply Celebrating the inspiring, sprited team you are.
Soooo glad you're H-O-M-E. Glad, too, that you didn't have that looong drive and car-rental-exchange at the end of your trip, so you could consentrate on nestling in.
Yes, aren't art and music amazing, in their ability to help lock in other concepts?
Sending a zillion cheers your way, and oodles of lots of loving support as well.
Hugs,

When I adopted Alicia I was told she had Lissencephaly. Most parents of kids with Liss think it is the worse thing that can happen.
When we consulted with the world expert doctor on Liss brcause Alicia was doing poorly , had lots of pain , stomach no longer worked , too weak to walk any more, etc he informed us her Liss was really so mild that she would function normally like anyone else . Then he dropped the bomb! He said she has Mito! I felt like we were slammed up against a brick wall at 50 mph!
This is not a nice disease it slowly or in some cases like you pointed out steals life from out kiddos. Some die very young and others live to be adults with things and bits and pieces being taken away as they age.
Alicia like Maya is a gift and the spirit these girls exhude is awesome.
I am so happy you have Maya. She is a beautiful butterfly and you have given her a great life.

Hi Mayafly,
A Ranbow Rocketship. How GRAND. And just think, I know a pilot/astronaught (you). Now how cool is that?!
Wonder if it could travel to visit all the CB folks that sign here? Maybe we could have a teaparty? (Maybe we could use those calculators you use during YOUR teaparties, to count the stars?!)
Hmmmm I wonder why leaves turn their underside UP when it rains? Is that the side they drink from?
I wonder why those lil inchworms never use their string to go sideways? Is it because of gravity or maybe cause they can INCH sideways, but not inch up and down?
I wonder why dew-drops stay a perfect circle on furry leaves, and run off of shiny ones?
I wonder how Mayfly got to be soooo smart and inquisitive?

Hi Mayafly, Mommy-Holly, Hello Kitty, Greetings Pookie & Fluff pals,
Sounds like a lovely time. (And yes, the pictures are awesome)
Really, REALLY hate that it comes with such a high price, yet I understand....in my own life, everything is about balance, and trading this for that....wise choices that are well worth it (as you say: Most of the time).
Hope that's all this is, and there's no nasty bug lurking.
I love how both of you grab life, embrace it and conciosly create good things.
I spent the week house-sitting and they had a lovely garden. There were two hummingbirds that took my breath away, and were only an arm's length away.
It was well worth the week ahead of squirrling in and resting, grin. Counted 10 other spieces of birds. Great stuff. And the night sky was incredible (away from all the city lights).
Here's a poem/prayer for both of you.
May your day be happy
May your day be blessed
May your day be filled
with graciousness
May your soul hum a tune
to carry you along
As you travel this day
with an inner song
Thru the ups and the downs
the mountains or stumps
May this song and the love
carry you over the humps
May joy be the sweetener
in your lemonade
May His presence and strength
be your constant Aide.
And as this day
draws to a conclusion
May His healing balm
be your infusion.
Thinking of you and surrounding you with Loving Support & Prayer-Songs.

Holly, I am glad you had a good time in St Louis. We took a trip there when the kids were younger (Sam was about 15 months) as my sister lived there at the time. We loved it too. Abby is actually narrowing down her college search and St Louis is pretty high up on her list. I am glad, also, that your house is starting to feel like home. You'll have to tell me where you live. Is it delafield or oconomowoc? I am out that way all the time these days which is funny because you're probably spending most days heading east.
Funny about "You'd marry me if I told you to." I wish I had that confidence!!!! May she never lose it!

Glad to hear that things are continueing to go well for the two of you! Hopefully you've been able to deal with the rediculous heat that has taken up residence in Wisconsin this summer...I know that I'm looking forward to the fall and cooler temperatures so the outdoors is a bit more enjoyable. Sounds like the power chair is a big hit and lots of fun.

That picture of you in the water fountain (or whatever it is) is precious. I can just know you were laughing in delight. I am hoping that sore throat went away and all those symptoms.

Good Morning Mademoiselle Presidenté Maya,
Is Press Secretary Pookie taking notes on all your summer activities? Or is it Petite Hello Kitty doing those honors, grin.
I bet it was lots of fun to sit in the Oval Office.
What would your first new laws be?
What would be your first assignment for the American public?
Who would you choose as your close circle of advisors? I know you'd pick a GREAT group of folks.
An interactive garden....I wonder what in the world that would be? Fairy's inviting you to tea? A Fairy Fashion show to show off your wings? Trees that bow down and let you sit on a limb and then it stands tall and shows you bird's nests? Grass that talks and asks you to please use the sidewalk? Sidewalk that says it's sooo hot and would you please cool it off with some water, lol?
Or.....maybe a garden where you get to make and put out feeders? Fill pinecones with peanutbutter and roll it in seeds and hang it from a bough? Or a fountain where you get to feed the goldfish? Or push a pump from a well and have cold water splashing out (to give the flowers a drink), that's been deep in the earth??? (always wondered why it doesn't smell and taste like dirt and isn't all muddy.....how does it stay crystal clear like that?)
Whatever an interactive garden is, sounds like LOTS of fun. Glad you've got neat places to go on your new patch of earth.
Sorry to hear about your hives (well, glad to hear so I could pray, but sorry you've GOT them)!
Lifting you up, with LOTS of love,

Good Afternoon, Mayafly, Howdy Holly,
Love your floral dress m'dear. Very swish.
Ahhh, packing....wouldn't it be nice if those elves that made shoes (childhood story) also packed suitcases and med-cases? Now THAT would be a supreme gift (not to mention time saver).
Hmmm there are hire-a-maid and hire-a-driver, maybe there could be hire-a-suitcase-packer???? Or how about hire-a-medbox-packer, and there could be a special list, and everything on the list could be color-coded, so they could get it all into one place, and all you'd need to do is puruse it to make sure nothing was left out?
Orrrr wouldn't it be cool if you could go to sleep thinking about it, and when you woke up it would be done?
Alas, sounds like none of these ideas will help today.
Will be thinking of you as you prepare.
Hope you both have Lots of fun!

Hi Holly,
Your Maya-funny had me belly-laughing. LOVE our gal!
Have you tried a gel-vest or ice-vest to help keep cool? Gel-vest is better, lasts longer and is easier to re-cool, but harder to find. It comes in a light color that's also easier in the heat, where the other comes only in black (could tell the inventor lived INSIDE, lol). I thought it was fun to discover that a lot of the time, Santa wears them under his suit...not so much for his incredible trip on Christmas eve, but definitely in the malls!
Hope you're able to save this line AND do so pain/infection free!

Good Afternoon, Mayafly,
These wings are my most favorite. And they fit you perfectly! Looks like you were born with them, grin.
Yes, isn't The Secret Garden a lovely story? I especially like the part about friendship.
I had a Secret Garden about 10 years ago. I found a deserted patch of earth in our city, that folks had turned into a rubbish area....so slowly, day by day, little bit by little bit, I picked up and threw out the trash, swept the sidewalk, and planted flowers underneath the tree. I went early in the morning or late at night, so nobody knew who was fixing it up. It was a bit like having a secret project between God and I. And the neat thing is, folks responded to the changes, and didn't leave rubish there any more. Later I moved and then the space was used for an apartment complex....but I took great joy for that year...sometimes good secrets like that fuel us and keep us going thru rough patches...and it's extra when it also blesses the hearts of others.
Glad you've found at least one favorite spot to visit in your new lil bit of earth...hope there will be LOTS more special places in the days, months and years ahead.
Hi Momma,
Hope you, too, find lil blessings tucked into your new town....and that they add up, bring warmth to your heart, so you can feel hugged and at home, in your new lil nest/neighborhood.
Hope you both have a splendid, star-spangled 4th!
Much Love & Warm Support flowing steadily as always,

Hi Holly, Hello Mayafly,
I'm glad you've got such a fantastic Dad/Papa in your lives! THAT'S Awesome!
I daresay some of the Firefighters that stop by are Dads, too!
Glad your week's gone relatively smoothly (in the overall scheme of things). Am excited that YOU'RE excited, about revamping and getting things squared away into a more user-friendly, homey form. Glad too, that you've got some support in that realm. Looking forward to your pics!
Well, my youngin's politely (albeit impatiently) letting me know my services are needed, so I gotta run.

Hi There, Ladies,
Just popping in to say I hope you've hadthe low-key week you were looking for, and have had a chance to recover from all the visiting and galavanting around.
So, Mayafly, instead of a horse-whisperer, you're a peacock whisperer, eh? How neat.
Hope your new city has fun things to have your picture taken with....tho I doubt you can beat having it taken with Clifford! I think you and he are related.....the more love you receive, the more love you pour forth and the more you shine!
Well m'dears, gotta run, laundry's calling me to tend to it.

Hello Mayafly, Hi There Holly,
Oh I love, love, LOVE all the new pictures! (Glad you've left the one of the two of you together up, that's my favorite above all).
Delighted to hear you had such a splendid visit. Soooo glad health and weather mostly cooperated! (I'm sure there were a zillion small and not so small snafu's that got thrown in there that you didn't mention). You two are just amazingly wonderful. Nope, not nominating you for sainthood, you're too wonderfully real for that. But golly how you both shine and you dance (and sometimes struggle) thru life.
Love you dearly.
Hope you have a good rest-of-the-week. (Wish I could bottle some of our heat and send it to you.....93 is definitely hot enough to share without any chance what-so-ever of getting cold, Lol).

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I have been following this site for a while. Maya is such an interesting child with her elaborate imagination and love of animals. When I was her age, I spent many hours with my stuffed animals (mostly cats) and loved to play pretend. My best friend at that age was my orange tabby, Clide. I am so sorry to hear her health isn't good and that her disease is progressing. From reading all the previous updates, it looks like you and your little girl have had many happy and fun times. She must be a joy to raise despite all the hard moments.

Hello Holly,
Delighted you are home. Just wish our Princess felt better! Hopefully, recoverin at home will be good for both of you.
Glad that coming here still feels supportive and meets a need in the two of you.....if that ever changes or you're needing to do it differently, I'm confident you'll know both the timing and the direction you want to go in. You knew those things for your house-move, so I'm trusting you will for this as well.
Hope you know you are dearly loved....and I realize that could feel sorta impossible, when we've never met. but when one prayer-sings for someone EVERY day of the year, and often more than once, an invisible sort of connection forms....and, that'll remain, as will the prayer-singing, no matter where you go or what you choose.
You both have touched my life. You and your journey matter. And, having some rather serious health issues of my own, that constantly interplay with one another in not so user-friendly ways, I have a tiny, tiny clue about what you don't write about as well. So there's a LOT of prayers going up, diverse & detaled or sometimes simply your names whispered up.
Celebrating the zillion tiny victories (sometimes simply getting up fits that bill) and rejoicing in the lives you two share.
NEVER want to be intruding, trespassing or make you uncomfortable in any way, ever. I'd rather not come here than do that.
So, you lead the way, say what you want, and it's what we'll do.
Have puppy-tails to regail you with, but she's up from her nap which means I'm down off the computer.
Much Love & Warm Support,
Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

If folks had known they could turn mundane-bumper-to-bumper-traffic into a fun parade for Maya, you know they'd have done so in a flash! I can picture it now, as folks scrambled to turn whatever they had into banners for Maya. Back-packs suddenly becoming flags, books becoming cymbals and angry, frustrated faces turned into smiles and voices lifted up in song!

Certainly hope things have warmed up a bit, and that you and your visiting Mom/Grandma & Sister/Aunt have found a zillion new (and old) ways to enjoy one another's company and say "I love you".
Praying Tuesday's CVL surgery goes smooth-as-silk and you're back home in your comfy nest in no time!
I know it might be awhile before the strangeness of your new place wears off...but hope the edges are getting a bit softer, and that your "nice lil piece of earth" is nicer still!
Much Love & Warm Support,
Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

This passage is so very special. We have such assurance of our salvation! Eyewitness testimony! Praying!
I John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.

You have been busy. To hear you are fully unpacked is a feat in itself. Sorry to hear Maya continues to progress . I really hate mito! I was so afraid last week that we would lose Alicia. She seems to have a different form of mito than Maya. It is slowly taking her away and it stinks. You walk a fine like between hope and dispair!
I am so glad you like it there. It is wonderful to be close to the Zoo and fun things. You will have to let us know when you go to the domes.
I am so happy you may have found a good fit in a church.
We had a caringbridge site at one time and I found it hard to keep up as things with Alicia changed so I totally understand your feelings.
Praying for more good days than bad.

Hello Holly, Hi Mayafly,
I'm confident you WILL know what meets YOUR needs best (not ours)....and whatever that turns out to be.....supporting you in it, and on your life-journey a zillion percent.
For me, I guess coming here is a bit like having a special prayer-meeting for someone...like we've had for a lil girl in our church with a head injury. We can gather together as a body, in a place she is well known. Being together and being in His presence....and lifting her up, together.
Coming here is that kind of sacred space...it offers a specail way to both reach out to you and up o Him...to be able to more fully lift you both up... AND if you need to do something different, the prayers will continue. His link is always enough anyway. It is my humanness that likes to see and be with you in this small way. The lil things you share are like mini windows into knowing how to direct the prayers and loving thoughts....but those can continue without that, too. Whatever YOU all need, ...whatever unfolds for you....well, taking care of you is paramount. May His light shine clarity for you.
You Matter.
Much Love & Warm Support,
Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Good morning Maya & Holly,
Oh darn, I should have wished you a happy "May Day" on Saturday. I was studying my silly head off. But I was thinking back when I was a kid and the traiditon in May was to drop by your friends house unexpectedly, put a container of goodies, knock on the door and say "May Day" and to take off running so they wouldn't get caught - I think the punishment of getting caught was to be kissed :-). Silly, right! But fun little tradition. I wonder if that was just a Wisconsin May Day tradition.
Sending lots of love to your girls,

These verses are so comforting. Continuing to pray!
Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Remember the story of the elves that made shoes-in-secret, in the middle of the night in the cobbler's shop? Welllll I wish you equally thrifty un-packing elves! Wake up one morning and behold: EVERYTHING is in it's place, and the boxes are all broken down as well. Now wouldn't that be nifty?!
Hope you've discovered the perfect snuggle-spots to galvanize your energies and recoup it when it's dwindled down to those wee lil tendrals.

Hi there Holly and Maya!! I'm sorry that Maya hasn't been feeling all that great, but so happy to hear that you're out and about exploring your new hometown. I don't know how you do it with only the little bit of nursing you get. Sergio gets 20 hours a day! Granted if all of those were RN (like Maya would need) it would be very hard to find nurses to fill the hours, but I would give it one heck of a try! LOL
Thanks for the wonderful ideas on the Lactic Acid. The doctor was very intrigued about how I came about such an idea for acetazolamide (on my own - wink wink). However, in the end, they wanted to try one other theory first before trying the Diamox. They are suspicious that he has restrictive lung disease and isn't profusing his organs well, thus the higher lactic acid but normal CO2 and ion gap. So we redrew the LA yesterday after being on high flow O2 for his current (RSV and Parainfluenza illness) and lo and behold, it dropped to almost normal range. He is now O2 dependent. They are suspecting, as am I, he has MPS, most likely Hunter Syndrome. I'm sad, frustrated, but relieved we have some answers. We now have the long wait for the test results to confirm what we suspect.
Praying for you both every day!

You have done a lot with unpacking. Glad you moved the bed into the living room. That is one of the reasons we got a recliner for Alicia that goes completely flat and got flotation alternating mattress built into it. We had to have an apholster build wings on it to keep her from sliding sideways but it has been a blessing for those days she doesn't feel well enough to be up. I too hated it that she was in her room and away from us.
So glad you ventured out to church. In no time you will be one or the oldsters there.

Hi Mayafly, Hello Holly-Mommy,
I see Pookie is front and center on your home page, and purrring-ruler-of-the-roost, grin.
Since LOTS of people spend months and even YEARS living out of boxes when they move, I think you all are doing a Super-Duper job of getting things unpacked, sorted and settled into exactly the right place! You deserve a standing ovation, actually. Hey, not only did you have a household to move, you had a medical-supply station too! Hope you reach Thursday's goal, just so it's not staring at you and nagging "unpack me, unpack me" Lol. THAT can be exhausting all by itself.
Hate to hear the line needs replacing...and so glad you won't be light-years from home when it does! (Tho I know, sometimes it's still bound to feel like you ARE light-years from home NOW. Bless you. Hope that changes swiftly)
Delighted you made that big advenurous and brave church outing. Being the new-gals isn't exactly fun. But sooner than you think, you'll be less new, and less new, until you'll be old hat like the rest of folks....and someone else will be new, and you'll be able to reach out, remembering what it was like. I know that doesn't take away from the discomfort of the moment. They will soon love you for the amazing people you are.
OK, since I'm not supposed to be writing a book, lol, guess I'll close.
Luv Ya Lots,
Ms Lu

Actually, you are doing quite amazing regarding the unpacking - considering you have an in-house pharmacy, on-site medical supply storage, home school and normal apartment "stuff." Here's hoping that you will be unpacked completely by Thursday so you can do some fun stuff!! (I did not realize that Maya is getting her line replaced earlier when I talked to you.)

Hi Maya, Hello Holly,
I had the silliest picture pop up in my head....all your stuff in HUGE plastic eggs, so unpacking was it's own sort of Easter-egg hunt, lol. Favorite blanket in this egg, crack it open and voila: instant hug-wrap, open this tiny egg, favorite mug....then saw your new place filled with plastic-egg halves....and pictured THOSE becoming sort-holders.....instead of a zillion boxes and newspapers there was colorful mayhem instead!
Soooo needed to share that silly picture, just to let you know you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and are carried in my heart as I travel thru my everyday life, thinking of you as you embark on this new adventure.
May additional stressors be few and far between and may melt-downs and exhaustion be minimal (TALL orders, I know).
Luv Ya Lots!
Happy first Easter in your new place. Next year you'll have soooo much to talk about. So many ways to say: Remember LAST year when we'd just moved and didn't know where anything was and EVERYTHING around us was brand-new?
Yup, you'll get thru this.
Love ya More.

Ooooo look at all your boxes, with a zillion treasures nestled safely inside! Bless your hearts.
LOVE all the pictures....but then, you've yet to ever post a picture that wasn't splendid, with a story right there for all to see.
Delighted you both felt up to a "See Ya Later, Love you tons" Celebration!
Would love to be on the other end with everything turned on, main furniture moved in, table set and a pot of hot coffee waiting, as well as a couple of snuggle-spots all ready for you to slip in and go Ahhhhhhh.
Alas, cyberspace allows for prayers, heart-hugs and the sharing of wishes.
Hope in your dreams you're seeing yourself already making friends, putting out nic-nacs, meeting new music teachers with new and old songs to sing.
And Caringbridge....well we all fall under the "stays the same" catagory.
Safe travels!

Hi Holly, Hi Maya,
Love your new picture, Mayafly. You look lovely in your dress from India m'dear. And just LOVE your splash of purple! Pure Maya!
Hope you and your precious Mama had a lovely Gotcha Day! Thought about you all day long, and had a smile a mile wide every time I did.
Folks kept asking me about it, and I just said....."Oh, a really remarkable family are Celebrating their lives together today, and I'm just tickled pink (and purple, giggle) that these two remarkable folks are Blessing the world by with their joy and love of life and one another. Their love shines-forth brilliantly. They remind me how truly blessed we all are, beyond our wildest imaginings, even on our very worst days."
So of course they then wanted to know more about you...and without using any names, I told them your story. Shared about your seeking out and taking pictures with all the city's Birds, about your "Things I'm planning on doing" list and how you keep knocking things off of it, about your love of the color purple and music and other special things.
Then I ended it by saying: Keep them in their prayers: They've got a new home waiting for them and a zillion new friends they haven't met yet....but even good change can be a bit daunting.....
So, you've got more folks loving you and lifting you up.
Golly, this turned into a rather long chat, didn't it?!
Love You lots! Hope tomorrow's a VERY GOOD day!
Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs,

Moving!!!! I can totally understand how you came to this decission. When Alicia was doing so poorly we were traveling between Richland Center and LaCrosse and RC and Madison 2-3 days a week and it was taking it's toll on Alicia. I think being closer to her doctors has made all the difference . It is a hard one to make and I know your mothers heart was totally in it.
I am sorry I never got to meet you formally and visit but glad you and I have gotten to share our children with mito. It is not a nice disease at all and so many types and things affected by it. Maya has truly been such a joy to get to know. Please keep the site up so we can chat and you know you can always e mail.
Maya, you will find Milwaukee to be a great place with lots to do and Build a Bear so near! You will make friends easily and no longer have to take so many long rides. Hugs and prayers to both of you.

Hi Holly,
Since Maya loves the folks at the Fire Dept, and they love her....I was wondering if they could make some intro calls and have someone on that end ready to meet our Mayafly...different faces but at the same time a bit familiar?
Can only imagine the zillion nightmarish legistics that need to be handled ahead of time, so everything goes smoothly and is already in place when you arrive. Bless you as you sort, pack and move. And as you say Good-bye to treasured friends. Hope everyone will help you make a scrapbook of love and memories to take with you.
Maybe someone on the other end can take "Hello we're waiting for you" pictures so you'd have them to look over thru the month of March?
If you haven't already, hope you find exactly the perrrrfect place.
I see you as two butterflies heading off to explore new lands.....with new landmarks to visit (where you are now had birds, here we have crazily decorated cows, wonder what your new town will hold?....am sure there are some GREAT pictures just waiting for your arrival so they can be snapped and put into your journal!
Will be lifting you up "extra much" in the hours, days, weeks and even months ahead. As change, even needed/welcomed/wanted changes can be stressful and exhausting. Sounds like it'll be TONS of work, but will relieve TONS of worry down the road.
Bless you Mama Bear.
Don't forget to keep H&H posted when the time comes, so we can all keep that Happy Mail flowing.
Hugs,
Lu

Wondering how today's scope(s)went and if any results have come back from other, earlier testing. Hope you CAN get to the bottom of this PRONTO. Don't want our gal feeling all draggy and in so much pain and discomfort. That's hard on BOTH our gals!
Glad you had nice, safe wheels-of-blue to carry you safely thru all the weather.
Holly, particularly lifting you up. Child life and all sorts of folks address Maya's needs when in Club Med...it's YOU I'm concerned about. Our mostly silent jewel who shines forth....I know there must be a zillion things going on in your heart. Just know you're being lifted up, as of course is Mayafly and her medical team.
You both matter sooooo very much.
May healing balm melt into every cell of your being this night and give you comfort, strength and peace.
Luv Ya
Ms Lu

Whew - these snowflakes are something else. They kept getting in my eyes as I looked up to admire how pretty they were falling down :-) One of the girls I work with called them "Smack Flakes". I think she was right - they kept smacking me in the eye.
I'm not sure why I didn't bring my camera in my bag today - those flakes would have made for some pretty pictures.
Have a good day!!!

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

That was cool to find a sandbox with mulch. I have to say I still enjoy playing in a sandbox. Maybe because I had 2 sisters and I never got enough car/truck time when I was a little girl :-)

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I hope you get to go play in the snow. We got about 17 inches here yesterday, so today we went skiing. It was fun but very crowded, since everyone else had the same idea we did to take advantage of all that fresh snow. We are supposed to get another 12-18 inches this week again. I think that will be a record for us since we've lived here in Pennsylvania. The boys want that mid-week snow so they can get an extra day off, even though they already have a 4 day weekend off for President's Day. How nice that Valentine's day falls in there this year as well! Glad you are enjoying the new van, and I'm sure it will be nicer for that winter weather driving if you have to go out in the snow! Hope everything continues to go well for you in snowy Wisconsin!

Thanks for the comments on the van. I can't wait to be able to go visit the girls God Parents in Richland Center. Haven't trusted the old van to make that trip!
Sorry that game won't work for her but do have the Nintendo Dogs if that would work. I was so happy for you getting the newer van. Mine just happened to be my all time favorite color too. British Racing Green! How cool is that! Greg was so nice. He even did not charge extra for the raising the roof. We had to do that because we can't lower the floor due to structural support beams in the front and back. I'm used to a raised roof so that is fine with me. So funny that our big girls will be able to ride up front. Alicia is so thrilled . Now she won't have to look at the back of my seat! I will have to put a lid over the VCR as I can just see miss Mikayla-Elspeth dropping things into it!

Hi Mayafly, Hello Holly,
Sounds like you've had a good albeit challenging week. (not sure you all know HOW to have a week without challenges, grin, with the zillion and one health issues to tend to!).
We'll definitely "take" a GOOD week over the rougher ones. What's amazing to me is that, no matter what kind of week you're having, the two of you continue to triumph over all that comes your way, no matter how big or small.
Hey, they concept of "waiting for" and "working towards" and "letting go of in order to make room for new" are all very important concepts.
Yup, only someone who doesn't eat food would think THAT could wait, lol. But it's a neat insight into how your lil brain is ticking away in there, Mayafly!
So thrilled you've got safe wheels. Sorry there are a few kinks to work out with it, but how very neat you've got the time/are in town at the moment to do that very thing.
Hope the rest of your week/weekend goes well.
Yup, lifting up all your friends and others that you love. And lifting up YOU as well.
Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs,

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I am so excited for both of you. That is so wonderful!
We are getting a newer van sometime in March after we get all the financing figured out. Mom got to see it today and was just thrilled. We will have to do some modifications to it before we bring it home and leave our 17 year old van but it like yours will be worth waiting for! Plus it will be nice to be in a smaller newer van. Alicia is thrilled that as the big sister she will be able to ride up front like Maya. Me I am thrilled because it has a TV and VCR! I will ride in the middle near the window and my new sister will ride in the back behind the lift and if we have a carer with us she will ride in a bucket seat next to my new sister.
But most of all I am so very happy for you . You both deserve all the help and fun you will have in this van. It is also a very nice color!

Hi Mama Bear,
Sounds like the grizzly pain -n- growly bears may have invaded your household. NOT what's supposed to happen during wonderfuly snuggly-hybernating Winters. Yikes. Bless you.
Knowing you understate things HUGELY my guess is it's mighty rough for a zillion reasons over in your wee lil den.....and it's not feeling much like a comfy-nest/den at the moment, unless it's a bee hive.
All those evaluations thrown into the mix don't sound very timely either.
I'm glad your cub is able to relax enough to slip SOME snuggly-Mommy time in there. I know you both need that.
Sounds like all 4 of your maccasins are not too comfortable to be walking in these days. Bless both of you amazing, wonder-filled gals TONS!
Sorry you're BOTH needing OT.....and glad services are still running as they need to.
Mostly, just wanted to stop in and let you know loving support continues to flow steadily your way, and prayer-songs flow continually on your behalf.
Love you both dearly. Hang in there!

I totally love the sleeping mask! Too cute! I use one a lot when I get a migraine although Maya's is much more stylish. :)
Glad to hear she had a great Christmas. Been thinking of you guys alot. I was thinking of the time we were both at Mayo and Caden was getting his G tube. I remember seeing Maya (and a picc line for the 1st time). I couldn't get that picture out of my head for a long time. At that time, the line looked SO big! :) I imagined she was in agony from having it. Now, after being through it with Carsen and having one myself I feel a lot better about it. :) I also remember thinking, "I'll never get the hang of this pump bag stuff". It was all so overwhelming but I remember thinking how together you had it. It's been a long, hard, crazy road but in all of our journey, I am so glad you have been part of it. you know, Maya was just a little bity thing when we met in Cleveland. Carsen... was a BABY. Wow, I'm feeling old!
Love you guys,

Hi Mayafly, Hello Holly,
Delighted your Firefighter buddies have an inside track with Santa! Sounds like neat gifts to help take an edge off this monster pain you've been having.
You'd have LOVED our church service this morning.
Our pastor became the inn keeper and told what it was like the day Mary & Joseph came to his inn....he pictured for us what the layout was (all the rooms surrounded the center-stable where the all-important animals stayed)...and how dumbfounded he was when the shepherds came to visit, and then the rich Wisemen, and how befuddled he was when they brought gifts, not for a baby, but for a king.
And he shared how the message was for all people...and we have people from all over the world (really) in our church...so they each spoke up....it was really, REALLY neat.
Well ladies, I hope you're able to get to the bottom of this pain issue and gain relief pronto....followed by some much needed sleep.
As always, lifting you up, with love.
Ms Lu

When everyone's remembering good friends and loved ones too - so naturally, the warmest thoughts and wishes go to you. May your home be filled with happiness, your hearts with love, and your days with joy - at Christmas and always! Friendship is a promise strengthened by each smile, each teardrop, and each treasure of life that’s shared. We share so much as friends — thanks for being a very special part of our lives. Merry Christmas.

Matthew 1:20-23 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Colossians 3:14-17 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Good morning!
Thanks again for coming to visit on Monday. Was great to see you again and what a great Christmas song you had for us. I think if your mama gave you all those things you'd need to live on the roof because there would be no room for anything else in the house! I wish for you a very happy Holiday Season and have hear that you have been a pretty darn good girl this past year (with the exception of your mommy songs!) so I hope that you're able to see Santa again. I hope to see you around Christmas again too so you can tell me all about the things you're up to and maybe about some of the stuff you got. Take care kiddo

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Hi Mayafly, Hello Holly,
Happy day to you from the rainy south!
I DO love your sense of style, kiddo! Smashing outfit, grin. Great looking cookies, too. Glad you had the energy for a fun day! And I think your movie-thon is a pretty cool idea too. I daresay there are a LOT of versions of that show out there. How smart of you to hunt them out on the internet.
I think the Countdown-Gratitude-Chain is an AWESOME idea! Do you mind if I borrow it for my great niece and some of the kids at church?
You two are the greatest....all the wonder-filled things you dream up together. What an incredible Team-Life you make!
Continuing to root for that upcoming new van of yours. Maybe whomever's spear-heading that could check into the local Firehouse-Subs. They often make donations for things like this.
Take Good Care, and I'll see you next time.
Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs still flowing steadily,

Hi Girls!
Hope the turkey walked past your window on Thanksgiving and did a Happy Thanksgiving jig to entertain you. I hear your Xmas tree is already up. I've read about a Thanksgiving tree where a family wrote things they were thankful for and hung them on a Charlie Brown type tree. I liked that idea. If I could ever get this schooling done I would have time to do those things. But for now I'll keep sliding thru life by the seat of my pants :=)
Sending lots of love to Wisconsin,

The things that matter most of all are often close at hand — A touch, a hug, a gentle look that says, “I understand.” The smile that inspires us, the words that let us know the way our hearts are leading is the way that we should go — These right-before-us, simple things may seem to be so small, but they’re what life is made of, and they matter most of all. May you find time this Thanksgiving to enjoy the things you hold closest to your heart. Thoughts of you at Thanksgiving are also heartfelt prayers that you and your family be blessed with much happiness, and that all of you will always know how very special you are.

Maya and Holly,
Wishing you both a very happy Thanksgiving. We too, will be at home and both Alicia and Makayla are not eaters either. Mom will give /alicia a bite or two of pumpkin pie and me Makayla won't have anything except my J tube feed as I only like to chew on things.
That being said we will crank up the music sing and dance all around and decorate the Christmas tree while smelling a small turkey roasting because mom likes the left overs and soup she will make later in the week. We are going to party hearty. I bet you both will be having fun like that too! I am glad you are home and not in a hospital.
My doctor said when I saw her Tue that I cannot go back to school because my immune system cannot handle it. So now on I will be home schooled. I will miss my friends and mom the break but, mom is happy because I won't be sick so much and I won't have to have breating treatments around the clock all the time!
Have fun my friend and I hope your tummy isn't bothering you.

Hate to hear you're having tummy pains and the zillion things that go with those. That's NOT nice, ESPECIALLY for the Holidays! Darn.
Hope things'll get figured out soon and you'll be feeling better.
Music therapy, how fun! I use music to help me deal with my pain, too! It's really neat stuff. Delighted to know you've found someone who'll come to your house! Par Excellent!

I told him "about 40". He said "you counted them?" And I told him that I had read it on your caringbridge. He said "Maya....isn't she that REALLY pretty girl who I saw on the computer?" I told him that indeed, that's exactly who I was talking about! I really hope that you get to spend the holidays at home this year, and I'm so happy to hear that you are already enjoying the season!

Hi Princess Gabriel-Mayafly, Hello Mama Mary-Holly,
I'm smiling ear-to-ear as I type those salutations! I LOVE that Gabriel proclaimed gifts for Mama, too. I'm sure Mary was VERY tired after riding all that way on a donkey and then nesting up in a barn! We've needed YOU to be part of more Nativity scenes, kiddo! Then they'd be done up right.
Like you, in this Season-of-Giving Thanks, I tend to strive "live" it year round. The very fact that we breathe in air astounds me. To see the amazing vast expanse of blue sky up here from my 8th floor window, to see the million moods of that sky: WOW. That my plants are flourishing, that we've got books to read....those all count as blessings in my book. Then we've got internet, electricity to run it, and sockets to plug our w.chairs into! Yup, mighty fine stuff!
Mostly wanted to just stop in and let you know you matter and are loved. Not that that's news to you, grin....but figure it never hurts to be reminded.
Hugs to both of you, to Pookie, Hello Kitty and your vast menagery of fluff-pals,

So glad to hear all is well there. I love the imagination on that girl. She is very creative.We will put up our tree on Thanksgiving as we have no family near and both girls do not eat either. Alicia has been having a rough go of it lately and Mikayla is doing much better health wise on home bound school. Mikayla does see the eye doctor on Wed as she has been poking her right eye and covering it and her liver problems can affect the eyes.
Keep well and out of Club med this year. What a great thing that would be!

Now I love the sound of a rainbow turkey, and can conjur up all sorts of things in my head, lol. I can't wait to see what's coming up for the two of you on this latest project.
Glad you're both enjoying books, movies and stickers, as well as comfy covers and eachother's company.
Here's rooting for comfort and stability, giggles and smiles and as always, insasiable curiosity and unquenchable love (and I probably need to go to "spelling school").
Take Good Care.
Luv Ya LOTS,
Ms Lu

Maya & Holly,
I went to the mailbox and picked up my Woman's World magazine only to see that it had cupcakes with Rainbow turkeys sitting plumply on top of them.
Thought of you two and smiled,

Hello Holly and Maya!
Glad to hear that you're back home and resting...it's always nice to just relax and read some books. I can completely relate to the whole sticker thing as my little boy loves to put stickers on anything and his thing with any sort of tape is a whole different story! (we personally keep the tape company running) I can't wait to see the rainbow turkey too...take care

Psalm 116:5-9 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

Life for us has been unusually busy with hospital appoint ments. Plus we found a lovely bungalow we fell in love with while out for an Autum drive!! Getting our home ready to sell, going to view new place/town & needing to be away from home meant minimal computer time.
Rest assured you have remained in our thoughts & prayers.

After only sitting with her a few wonderful moments; she shared a few of her loves. She shared in a group of strangers some of her strengths & loves. Her family and her love of animals. She to is someone that her family, friends and all of us can admire. I am so happy to meet Mrs. Owens. Before we parted, she gave Maya's personal card. This site is very lovely and informative. My wish is for the healing of all our hearts and minds by LOVE & BUTTERFLIES.

Hi Mayafly, Hi Holly,
Sorry to learn you've been sick (well, I'm GLAD to KNOW how you're feeling, and sad/sorry you've been feeling yucky and out-of-sorts). Bless you.
Fiddlel-Drat.....LOVED that "roll" you were on for a bit and hope you're back on it quicker-than-quick.
Sorry you got stuck in the rain when your van went kapooey, and glad it's running again for now (and stays that way until the new van arrives--which I hope won't be too very long from now).
Sorry Poppy caught your cold....wonder why they named it that? Cold---when usually it makes you feel all hot and bothered!
It's 2:45am here and we've got construction going on outside....they're digging up the road and trying to put it back together again before 5am when traffic starts! At least 5 BIG trucks, 3 small lil 1-man trucks AND men on-the-groud out there with LOUD beeps and whistles! Dump-trucks making crashing noises as they dump their load, chunks being scrapped up, water being sprayed, other stuff being laid.....you are VERY glad you're not sleeping HERE tonight, lol. I "drove" past all of it earlier (9:30pm) in my w.chair when I came back from church....all sorts of bright lights, orange cones, men in orange vests, blinking signs...almost looked like daytime it was soooo bright!
Good thing I've got ear-plugs!
Luv Ya Lots, ladies. Hope you're feeling better soon (and Mom: No fair catching that ole cold, ok?!)

Hey girls,
I have to tell you a funny about our Dog, Marshmallow, going to church last week. The pastor is an animal lover. So he prepared to have a blessings of the animals ceremony. There were dogs, cats, gerabils etc. (I scanned the crowd for snakes before I went in -there were none!!!) Pastor went around the circle of animals and said a prayer for them and sprinkled them. Marshmallow just looked up at him as if to say. "Hey Pastor - What do you think you're doing? You know I don't like rain."
Hope you have been blessed this week also!!!

Good morning little Octoberfester! Wow looks like you had lots of fun going on the carnival rides this week...I'm glad you had a chance to get there on Tuesday because it's been pretty crummy outside lately? Things at the firehouse have gotten pretty busy with October being fire prevention week/month. Lots of kids coming by to visit. The open house is Saturday from 10-1pm if you can make it, Corey Y. will be there but Cory T and I will be in Minneapolis as Cory is running his first marathon...I'm going as a spectator and to cheer him on! I hope the rest of you week goes well and we'll see you soon!

Hi Holly, Hello Mayafly,
I think all the additions and changes to your site are "just right", grin....and boy does it look like you were having fun. I see you discovered another motorcycle to ride, grin. Well done m'dear!
I LOVE the picture of you at the ocean. ahhh, it's my most favorite place in all the world, and I'm soooooo very glad you got to enjoy some time there at water's edge. I think the wheel-tracks are pretty cool.
Yup, please let us know more about those arm-bands, OK?
Well, ladies, just wanted to stop in before calling it a night.
I do hope the new med will be the perrrrrrfect augmentation to what you're already taking, and helps to make a BIG difference.
Hope those modifications come thru. There's NOTHING like being uncomfortable all day. NOT fun. Really wearing on the spirit, not to mention the body! Bless you.
Sending lots of love and warm support your way, and lifting you up in Prayer-Songs, as always.
Hugs,

I saw the article in the Holmen Courier about Maya and the fundraiser. The article was great. It looks like Maya enjoyed her motorcycle ride. That is another thing from her list. She is doing well with her list. Good luck in Milwaukee. Have fun at the Octoberfest. It is great to see all of the entries about Maya.

Hi Mayafly, Hello HollyBear, (as in Mama-Bear, grin)
Glad you two are resting up this weekend!
That was an AWESOME article, by-the-way. I sent it to some of my biker buddies here in Georgia. Ya never know, maybe they'll want to dream up a way they can help (either with your van, or some child here in Atlanta).
LOVE your list and hope you get to mark a LOT more of the things you've got on it, so many that you'll have to make a NEW list!
If you lived nearby, we could drop water-balloons from my 8th floor window and see how big a splat we could make down below, lol.
Hope there's a HOT AIR BALOON convention/race near you sometime soon. We have them periodically here in Atlanta, and we can't possilby be the only place!
Hope you all are snuggling in and getting plenty of R&R.
Luv Ya,

Sorry you have had a rough week. Hope you will be at Special Festers! I don't think my sister will be there this time. She just got her cast off and the one bone is not fully healed so is in a brace. But , she also has Mito and today she had a shower and shampoo for the first time in two months and was so very happy about it. Mom got her up in her recliner and put on her favorite video of the Gaithers and she slept most of the afternoon. She tires out so easy. I love that you will get some help with your van. Mom worry's about ours as it too is 11 years old. Fortunately , we don't have as many out of town trips as you do and that would be worrisome.
So will be praying for you to get a newer van and soon. You certainly deserve it.

Ohhhh, how fun to ride a motorcycle. It is one of my most favorite things to do!! My husband and I have a motorcycle and we ride it as much as we can. How special to share that with Megan. Isn't God good? I am praying for you that you will be feeling better very soon and get all of your energy back.

I think it's fantastic that Maya has a list and that you're always on the lookout for ways to help her do them. As I was reading I thought you were going to say that someone had a trike. That would have been easier for Maya to ride on but a sidecar works, too! What a blessing for you both!
These verses are so comforting. Continuing to pray!!!!!!!!!
Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Hi Maya, Hello Holly,Ohhh I'm so DELIGHTED to hear you were able to visit with your beloved Firefighters. That's MAJORLY cool!
Mama you must be SOOOO relieved, to be having some Brighter days again at last!
Lol: That's a pretty neat trick, to be able to stay dry on a rainy-picture day! You must have carried a rain-magnet, Holly, and got both your share AND Mayafly's! Bless you. I finally learned to carry a towel in my backpack for just such occassions!
We've got rain today, and Pandy thought we should go out in it anyway. She was only SORTA convinced not to, when we wnet to the door and couldn't see out, lol. I do believe she'd have gone without me if I'd let her, giggle.
Well ladies, hope you have a splendid weekend and that school gets of to a roaringly good start.
Luv Ya Lots!

Good morning Maya and Holly,
So I hear that the one day I leave the station for the day with Chief Gudie we had a special visitor!?!? Corey and Cory said that you were pretty excited to be at the station and that you were full of energy! That's great to hear. I'm sorry I missed your visit but I'm definately looking forward to seeing you on the 6th if you can make it. Sounds like your spa days are a real treat! Tonight we get to meet Gavin's new 1st grade teacher so he's excited to start school. I bet you're excited to start a new school year too! Hope to see you again soon kiddo...

DEAR HOLLY AND MAYA
Glad there are some good days for you right now.
You are both so strong!
I would like to send Maya some postcards,
but I am not sure what address you want them mailed too.
I see a Hospital address as well as a trust fund address.
Is there another PO Box that you like to receive postcards in? Hang in there and stay strong!

Hi Holly, Hi Mayafly,
I LOVE ALL THE PICTURES! Thanks for sharing them! Holly, looks like you had the hard part when it came to that bridge, lol, but I can just hear you cheering Mom on, Maya! Looks like it was a splendid weather-day.
A fifth grader, eh? Now exactly when was it that you grew up on us? MUST have been between eye-blinks! Oh, yes, I've witnessed the absolutley stunning young woman you've been growing into all along the way.....but somehow I had a brain-glitch because it just didn't register: 5th grade. now how marvelous is that?! I hope you have a stupendous year!
Now, speaking directly to your UTI infection: Vamoose. Not only do we NOT want you, we really, REALLY, REALLY don't want you. We're going to fight you, punch you and send you running.....so you might as well high tail it now and skip all the trouble! No more havoc for our amazing Maya. No sireee. So here's rooting and cheering that antibiotic on. Work well, work. Work, work, work and OUST that darn infection qucker than a wink and faster than a flash.
And dear Mom, hope that tooth/lack there of, gets handled soon so you're back to tip-top yourself. Sounds like Maya's got too many plans for you to have time to be out sick.
Saluting and and wishing you a dynamite week,
Ms Lu
PS My older brother's coming to visit tomorrow. I haven't seen him since the first of the year and he hasn't seen my new place or new furniture (It's been over 2 years since he was up here)....so I've been busy making things sparkle...then I'm headed to join you for that nap grin. Pandy's beat me to it. She had a bath and it wore her out. Now that everything's clean, it's my turn for a soak and a snooze.
Hope you have a GREAT week, kiddo. See ya soon.

Hi Guys!
It looks like you had a great time at the show and on the bridge! I am so glad that you could enjoy some "normalcy" for once. I am always thinking and praying for you both! Maya, I hope you have fun when you go back to school. Wow, 5th grade? I don't remember much about 5th grade except that I got my braces that year. Here's hoping you learn a lot, and are able to avoid hospital stays.

Blizzards are neat. Alicia used to be able to tolerate a few bites of them but no longer even one bite. It was a sad day when she could no longer even tolerate even one bite. She used to love eating . Her favorite was chili cheese fries!
But, I digress. It is good to hear good news from both of you and Spa day sounds great. Please don't cut off too much of that beautiful hair.

I'm sorry you've been earning so many frequent-flyer-miles there at club med. We want you home and in tip top shape. And we realize that sometimes club med is who can get you there. Hope this latest infection ceases and desists asap and you're soon home among your furry/fluff friends and surrounded by all your wonderful stuff.
I'm glad they know you well at club med and can fine-tune the healing. I'm glad there are folks there that love you and gird you up.
Out here in cyberspace, we're gathered round about you as well.
Team-O, you are the tops in my book. Rooting for you and cheering you thru these latest hard times.
Holly, hope you'll get a bit of the break you're needing, as I imagine care at home is 24/7 and hard to shoulder alone. Glad you've got such an excellent medical team behind you.
Luv Ya Lots dear family.
Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs,

Praying right now!
Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Hi Mayafly, Hello Holly,
Stopping in to give you two a standing ovation!
You BOTH are amazing and wonderful ladies, incredible HEROs who fight fights each day that most of us could never fathom.
How victorious you are. How valiant. How brave. How spectacularly marvelous!
Your vibrant personalities personify the very essence of what life's all about: Living each moment to the fullest, and sharing the joy anyone who cares to partake and see that life is indeed very, very good. (now if it weren't so hurrendously HARD and if you could get longer breaks now and then, from all your fierce battles, THAT would be VERY nice).
Just stopping in to say I love you and that you matter.
Always, allways.
Hope tonight's a good night and tomorrow's a good day.
Hugs,

I think I'm going to ask God for a driver for you - wouldn't that be nice? You could just sit in the back and tell the driver "Milwaukee Please!" and off you'd go.

Hi Daisy Mayafly. Hi Holly,
Special Day Greetings to you!
Ahhh yes, we had a cool, breezy day yesterday which was a MAJOR surprise (we've had high 90s-102 temps). Pandy and I took advantage and loaded up my w.chair with picnic stuff. Complete with rainbow quilt, food for both of us, a good book (that never got opened) and doggie-toys (that, you guessed it, never got played with, grin).
We were busy watching a Hawk soar on the thermals, then entranced with a squirrels antics (Pandy's favorite part, she was just quivering with excitment)and then simply lost in the beauty of sparkling green leaves dancing against a colbalt sky. What a great life-moment.
After 2 hours we both came in and promptly took a 3 hour nap, lol. It was GREAT, and of course, thought of you and wondering if you were able to take in a breath of fresh air on your end of things.
Luv Ya Lots.

May God continue to bless you and Maya in your journey ahead. If there is ever any thing I can do to help, you know where to find me.
I love the part on Maya's profile that say's she has never met a person whom she was not able to make smile. When I see you guy's I always have to come and chat, she just brightens my day. She's such a little bundle of courage!

We see the neuro surgeon July21st for Alicia We suspect her baclophen is not agreening with her and she is getting very tight. We have tried to increase in the past with incre\ased seizures. So they want to put in a Baclophen pump for better absorption in greatly smaller doses. I am sure she will not like this.

Been very busy here this summer going here and there. I can't believe it's already July! Fall will be here before you know it. I hope that you're able to get better soon so you can come back home. Take care kiddo and we'll keep checking up on you.

She wants fireworks, they're still going off around here!
Glad some things are going better!
Know that the Lord is always with you, wrapping His loving arms around you and holding on tight! Praying!
Psalms 18:2-6 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

What It Means to Be an American
To believe in the promise of a better tomorrow, and stand united in our efforts
to give a peaceful nation to our children...
To honor each other's differences and cherish the richness of our history, even as it continues to unfold from sea to shining sea...
To love deeply our friends and family, day by day, and never take for granted
the privilege of calling ourselves American. America — we are more than a people, we are a family.
Happy 4th of July

Hi Holly and Maya!
You guys don't know us, but we've heard about you quite a bit through another mommy we both know and I've been reading your caringbridge. My daughter Megan (11) also has a mitochondrial disease (Complex IV), and we pretty much live here. In fact, we are in 522 right now. Megan and Maya seem to have similar issues, and Megan just got an ileostomy in January. It has been Wonderful for her. Tiny bit gross, perhaps, but overall it has been terrific. It has cut down on her pain considerably. She still has baseline pain, but we don't lay on the PCA button like we used to. I hope Maya recovers super quick, and I hope this is truly an answer for her! We are actually hoping to go home tomorrow, but feel free to stop by if you'd like. I won't come by so I don't disturb Maya if she is resting.

I love reading your site and seeing Maya doing fun things--it just shows you that the "little things" in life, the fun little activities like seeing friends, going to the zoo, are so important and are not little at all. You are a great mommy for finding time for those things among all the medical stuff.
I'm thinking of and praying for you and Maya for tomorrow. Sending healing vibes!!!! I hope her recovery is as pain free as possible.

Hi Maya and Holly,
I just heard from my friend Michael in Ethiopia. He said he sent you a postcard at the same time he sent me mine. He said he was praying for you and was glad you've got the amazing Mom that you do.
Have no idea what the picture will be...might be fun or it might seem a bit odd by our standards, since cultures are sooo very different. Mine had a lovely African woman on it, wearing some bright beads (and nothing else). I know he was sending me "the best of the best" in his mind, so hope you're able to recieve whatever he sends in the loving spirit it is intended.
He lives in a monastary, and so you have become part of all of their daily prayers now.
When they offered running water and electricty for his hut, he said "No thanks, I don't want it to change me"...so you KNOW he's got a good heart. He's been my friend for over 12 years.
Lifting you up as your big surgery day approaches.
Much Love and Warm Support,
Ms Lu

Dear Maya, Hello. You probably don't even remember me but I'm one of your teachers from when you lived in Michigan. It's been sooooo long since I've talked to your mom or you. I've just spent time reading journal entries your mom has made and hope surgery goes well in the next couple of days. I'll keep checking in with you. Well mom, I've officially retired from teaching last year at this time. It seems weird not to be working with kids. I did go back just one day a week doing the same thing as before and actually had two little students at Northside this year. I saw Mrs. Dawn once a week. Holly, I've enjoyed reading all your entries and catching up on Maya's progress and issues she's still dealing with on a daily basis. I'll give you a call soon. Give Maya a hug from me.

Hi Mayafly, Hi There Hello Kitty, Fluff & Fur Pals and Good Queen Mommy!
Just popping in to let you know you're in my thoughts "extra much" these days!
I have a top shelf all across one wall of my bedroom, and on it are all sorts of Special Barbies: There's the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, and The Scare Crow, There's a Sci-Fi Queen, and there are some from China, Japan, England, Spain, Germany, France, Norway, Africa, There's a Native American one and one dancing ballet and another playing a violin....and there's a note in front of them that says: Pray for Mayafly and Mommy!
Then over on my prayer-song board there's your wonderful picture in your dress from India....So I start and end every day lifting you up. And every time I enter or leave my apartment, there's a reminder to lift you up (as if I could ever forget! grin).
And every time I lay down to rest, again you're lifted up. Anytime anyone comes into my home, they see the note and add you to their list.
You ARE part of the fabric of our lives, woven into our every day....not just me, but soooo many other folks. Whole Fire Departments lift you up, An entire Base of soldiers in Iraq lift you up, whole churches, all the folks at Dabbles&Doodles, all our Parent-Pals, folks at the International Gratefulness.org site....WOW: You touch SO MANY people! You are important. You matter!
And we are ALL rooting for you. Maybe in your dreams tonight you will be able to hear all of us cheering you onward thru these rough days and on to the otherside to sunshine, rainbows, awesome bird-statue, fun-loving happy days!
Much Love & Warm Support,

PS when I was taking Pandy for an early morning run, our asphault was covered with sparkles. Do you think fairy's came down and danced for us last night? Would have LOVED to have been able to peak in and see them. Bet they had lovely gowns and the loveliest hats and tiniest shoes!

Glad you're home!
Hope you've had time to recover a bit (It's VERY exhausting to be in the hospital. No matter how helpful everyone is, it still means folks coming in all night long, thus limited sleep. Add to that the drive there and back and all the energy that's gone into trouble-shooting the problems, the fears and anxieties and sheesh......bet your own beds feel MIGHT FINE!)

Hi Ya Ladies. Hi There Hello Kitty....(trust you're back home keeping Pookie company)!
Just wanted to pop in and let you know I'm thinking of you. I'm almost asleep in my chair, giggle, so hope my fingers are hitting the right keys, laugh. But you're sooooooooo important, just HAD to stop by before hitting the hay (wonder where that phrase originally came from? grin)
Sending lots and lots and LOTS of extra love your way......cause isolations can get rather claustrophobic.
Well m'dears, I'm headed off to bed.
Thanks for keeping us posted.

I wanted to let you know that my friend Allison is going to visit Maine this summer, and will be sending you a postcard. Maybe from Vermont and New Hampshire too!

She was just so inspired by you're little butterfly. And Maya they think your hair is sooooooooooooo beautiful. My neice is really into gardening now and was looking for some garden spikes to decorate her garden. Do yo U think she'll get butterfly garden stakes? If she does, I think everytime she looks at them she'll think about you, Maya.

I swear with Maya up on her tippy toes like that, it looks like she's going to fly right off any moment! Those wings have a way of tricking your brain into thinking she really can fly.......maybe she can???? :) She sure has flown right into my heart. I think about your little Miss alot. She is absolutely beautiful AND funny! I've always said, "If nothing else, I have my humor". I love to laugh and make others laugh. It's been a long time trait of mine but lately it's been a little work. I feel it coming back though. Just wanted to say hi. I almost miss our Mayo/Cleveland traveling days. We sometimes accidently caught up which was always a treat.

Hi Mayafly,
Love the picture of you standing on your toes....looks like you're ready to take flight, kiddo.
Sorry you're just not feeling well these days. (Stinks that they weren't more helpful at the hospital) Hmmm meds just sitting there, may help explain why they're not helping her to feel better. Ahhh sweet Princess, what a delicate body you've got....with several minds of it's own. Bless you. I think you and Mom do a stellar job of dancing with it.
Glad you got to see Snickerdoodle. He's a winner in my book, and I'm glad you've got him in your corner!
Hope you ARE able to run in and see your school pals before things close out for the summer.
Glad you and Meghan are neighbors and you'll get to see her this summer. And of course all your Firefighter buddies are always eager to see you.
Mostly, m'dear, hope we can get you to feeling better!
Keep shining, Mom, you're doing an amazing, first rate job! Please know you've got TONS of prayer-support surrounding you, and a cheering section all your own.

Hooray! You're HOME!
Hooray for safe travels.
Hooray for Mommies who make loooooooooong drives.
Hooray for Mommies who unpack a zillion things.
Hooray for Mommies who set things back to rights.
Hooray for Mommies who go thru TONS of junk snail-mail and junk e-mails, pick up stray kitty litter and basically get things back to running smoothly.
Hooray for Princesses who fight LONG and HARD in the hospital so they CAN come home for a bit.
Hooray for loving friends and family and firefighters and Megan who's been eagerly awaiting you.
Hooray for nights in your own bed and a night that does NOT have a zillion other people trapsing thru or rattling down the hallway!
Hooray for superb Doctors and an zillion and one prayers!
Hooray for parent-pals too, who love ya every step of the way (Jeanine you're a jewel).
Hope settling in goes smoother than ever before...and you have a chance to simply b-r-e-a-t-h.
Welcome Home.

Hope everything is continuing to improve and you are able to come home on Tuesday.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.
For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

Hey there Maya!
I hope that you're able to make it home sometime next week so you can try to get things back to normal soon! I'm back to work today (of course it's beautiful outside today!) It's nice being back to somewhat normal here too since the firehouse is sort of like my second home. Keep writing those great stories...maybe you could tell us about one someday if you get a chance to visit. Take care kiddo...

Hi Maya,
A friend of mine is stationed in Iraq, and said he'd send you a postcard from there. He said: Sounds like Maya's fighting a tough battle, and we're fighting a different kind here...but we've seen her smiling face over at H&H and that cheers us on to smile to.
So, kiddo, you and your precious Mommy are encouraging folks all the way on the other side of the globe. And you're inspiring folks to pray for you, too.
Glad you're writing stories together. Hey, maybe your Mom can post one for us?
Hope you get those electrolytes in balance soon, get rid of that infection, pain under control and are back home before you know it.
PS Our churchwide prayer group lifted you up last night, and we saw a rainbow afterwards. It was MAJORLY cool! Wish we coulda sent it to you.
Luv Ya,

My sister told me that there was a suspected (not confirmed) case in Milwaukee. And she heard that one wasn't in the hospital. It's good they're being cautious - I know it is probably lonelier but better to be alone that with some "Bad Bugs".

Well, if I followed Jeanine's directions AND did everything on the page correctly, you should be getting an in-house e-card from me. Butttttttt I've been known to goof.

We have a 13 hour drive to see Grandma and Grandpa too, so I know how long it is! We will be making our trip this summer for the 4th of July (and Tim's birthday). The boys are itching for summer vacation. Spring break just whetted that appetite! Hoping for a nice long spring with lots of mild weather so Maya can gets lots of outside time before it gets too hot. I don't like it outside when it is very hot either, unless I am at the pool. It was very nice here this weekend, but now is cold and rainy again. Missed soccer and baseball practices because of the rain. Boo! Hope everything continues to go well for you guys!

Vivit! He lives! Praying as always!
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
1. I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever-living Head.
2. He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all-glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.
3. He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
4. He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
5. He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.
6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend,
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
7. He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death:
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He Iives to bring me safely there.
8. He lives, all glory to His name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Hi Mayafly, Hello Holly, Hi Fur and Fluf Pals,Hope you have a splendid, AWE-FILLED Easter!
I think these eggs have sorting beads inside....all are the color of the egg they're in. Pretty cool, yes? Just wish we could explore and sort together. Hoping for the day when the only sorting you'll need to do is in creating fabulous necklaces and bracelets to give to those you love.
Take Good Care.

Hi Maya (Hi Mom, grin), Happy Day to both of you!
Wow, you made some really cool fashion statements, Mayafly. Loved those yellow leggings, and that swish pink/stripped skirt with lush pink bows was really neat. You're certainly getting a sense of fashion. And of course, I loved your purple top as well.
Nice catch on that swing, by the way. That's some great coordination: to keep an eye on where those blocks were falling WHILE you were moving! Well done!
Grate job as "Thank You Spokes Person"to the MDA. Folks ALWAYS need to hear how much they are appreciated. And you're the perfect Princess to convey that message.
Am sorry you've been having so much belly pain, kiddo. Hope the change in medications is just the ticket to making you feel better.
Hope you get to visit your Fabulous FireFighters soon. And of course, I hope you have a SPLENDID visit with Nana & Papa...and safe travels to and from Tenn!
Much Love and Warm Support flowing steadily your way.

Sounds like you've gotten a lot of postcards from around the US and WORLD. I put in a request for one from Maryland so hopefully it got to you? Things have been pretty busy at the fire station too as we've had lots of fires lately? We look forward to you visiting when you get back from your trip and we wish the best while you're gone. When you come back PLEASE bring some warmer weather with you because I really don't like this crummy weather we're having. Take care kiddo and keep smiling :-)

Anyway, just wanted to stop in and let you know I'm thinking about you. A few more folks from far away places have hinted that they'll send postcards, so here's hoping they will. I know it's hard to wait sometimes, cause it can be slow going. Yet how exciting, too, to see the places folks are lifting you up in prayer from!

My husband quoted the first verse of this hymn in his sermon tonight. It's so very comforting! Praying!
1. I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds,
There pardon for my sins abounds;
Yea, Jesus' blood and righteousness
My jewels are, my glorious dress.
In these before my God I'll stand
When I shall reach the heavenly land.
2. With peace and joy I now depart;
God's child I am with all my heart.
I thank thee, Death, thou leadest me
To that true life where I would be.
So cleansed by Christ, I fear not death.
Lord Jesus, strengthen Thou my faith

I so enjoyed the photos of how you embrace life and that is such an encouragement to all of us! I will be sending you some postcards from a couple areas in Michigan. Remember as a child how VERY special you are to Jesus, as HE told the adults that they had to become like a child to even get into heaven. That tells me how VERY MUCH our Lord loves children. Praying for you Maya...perhaps your mother Holly can post what the meaning of your name is...it is so beautiful. Sent with God's Blessings!

Hebrews 4:13-16 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

I see my friend from Italy stopped by.
Today a friend in Scotland said she's gotten a card off to you as well. Looks like you'll have LOTS of places to look for on that map of yours.
I'm trying to find a postcard for you from my home state. Not easy since I don't have a car....and for some reason "regular" places I shope don't seem to have them. But all is NOT lost, you WILL have one from Ga too. Maybe even more than one, as someone else who lives not too far away said they're working on it too.

I will try to get you some post cards from our state of Delaware over the weekend and send them to you. I don't travel much so I don't have any from other states. You both will be in my prayers. God Bless You!

Maya you're such a busy, busy girl! You've always got something fun or interesting going on each day. I always look forward to hear about what you've been up to. Sounds like your mom is trying to find a date that works for you two to come visit again. When you come visit you'll have to tell us all about the new things that you've been up to. I think I'd better brush up on my geography though because that's not one of my better topics of knowledge at this point? Have a great week with all that you have planned and I'll keep checking to see what you've been up to! Take care kiddo...

Hi Maya,Hope you're snug and warm as you hibernate and wait for Springtime.
We've got a world covered in white here in the Sunny South. Yup, s-n-o-w. Pandy and I went out to play, but both of us were soaked within 15 minutes. So it was a blow-dry for her and a hot shower and hot coffee for me...and now we're having fun looking out the window.
We had rain for 3 days first, so if we get the freeze they're talking about, we'll be in a bit of a bind. It'll close our city tighter than a drum, break power-lines and make for good "indoor camping" weather.
Hope all the daphodils that had come up are snug and warm underneath all that snow!
Just wanted to touch base and tell you that I love ya. Take good care, and give my love to your Mom, Pookie, Hello Kitty and all your other fluff pals.
Until next time, prayer-songs from Atlanta,

Hey there Maya!
I completely agree with you and your thoughts on spring! I do the same thing each morning as I'm absolutely not a fan of COLD weather! I love to see fresh snowfalls but would be happy to see it melt away before sundown. Sounds like it may get pretty yucky outside today so you'd better bundle up under some warm blankets and take the day off and maybe catch a movie or just plain ol' hang out inside! Hope to see you again soon!

Hi Maya,
I agree, that Eagle is spectacular!
You look a bit like Mother Earth in your lovely browns, grin. Especially with your crown. And the purple beads look like magic flower seeds, smile.
Glad you and your buddy Ronald got a chance to share a hug and picture. He's always a great guy to spend some time with.
Hope you and Mom get these meds "tweaked" so you're feeling tip-top sooner than soon and quicker than quick. Mighty fine of you to be game and go out anyway. Glad it turned out to be a good thing.
Mom, glad the worry was about the van....cause we all "get it" that it can be a far bigger deal than that. I don't know about everybody else, but I know I hold my breath and pray a lot more than usual (like round the clock) when you take those trips.
Sending extra hugs your way. Some to share with our Mayafly, but some specifically for you!
Much Love & Warm Support,

Hi Maya, Hello Holly,
Counting you as family...that group of people called-of-the-heart. People "grown together" rather than simply born together.
Glad you can feel our love and support....it surrounds you day and night.
I still remember when we "met". The day I got a computer and internet for the first time and typed in "hope" to see what would happen. There I discovered our Hugs&Hope group and our wonderful Mayafly...and the rest, as they say, is history.
What a marvelous day that was. It opened so many windows into the hearts (and lives) of others....and once the seeds were planted....well, the love has simply grown and flourished and become what it is today.
Thank you for allowing we strangers to peak into your lives and offer support along the way.
Am sorry the journey's been sooo rocky, with such tsunami size stormy seas....glad our love helps even the tinest bit.

Just stopping by to check in on you and to say hello, this Valentine's Day. Though I haven't said "Hi, there," in ever so long don’t think for a minute that anything's wrong — I keep pretty busy with things I must do, but I think of you often —believe me, I do.
Valentine treasures are people who have often crossed your mind, family, friends and others, too, who in your life have shined the warmth of love or a spark of light that makes you remember them; no matter how long since you’ve actually met, each one is a luminous gem who gleams and glows in your memory, bringing special pleasures, and that’s why this Valentine comes to you: You’re one of those sparkling treasures!

Hi Holly, Hello Mayfly,
Soooo your dream is to hold case #10 eh? That sounds like a VERY exciting thing to do. For now, how fun that Mum found the game at the Thrift Store. Now how cool is that?! (VERY, grin).
Just wanted to slid on thru the hummmmm and wires of cyberspace and wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
I had fun and played "secret hearts" here on my floor...I wrote out Valentines about everyone's talents or gifts here on the 8th floor, put them in a basket and put a note above it that said: "Can you find the one that was written with you in mind? Please take the one that feels the warmest". Lol, they won't know who did it, so everyone will be guessing and thinking good thoughts of everyone else. Kinda cool, yes?
Hope you have a GREAT and Happy Valentine's Day.

Hooray for Doctors who listen, Mom's who care (and are persisitant) and for meds that can straighten out chemical imbalances and other things that some meds accidently send out-of-wack.
YOU are my hero. Both of you are, but you're the "unsung" one of the partnership. Quietly and diligently taking care of the zillion things that need attention (sometimes all-at-once! You've become quite the juggler, grin). HOORAY for you and your amazingly wonderful heart.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Enough already with the FREEZING temps here this year! FF-Corey said that he really enjoyed getting a chance to visit with you when he stopped by and said you looked like you were doing pretty well. Keep getting better so you can enjoy the spring which should be right around the corner (I'm not listening to that silly groundhog who says there are 6 more weeks of winter).

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Holly & Maya: sorry to hear your back in hosp. Pray it is a short stay. Popping in today with a bit of history & to wish you a Happy end of Jan.
The legend of Groundhog Day (Feb. 2nd) is based on an old saying: "If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year." The Groundhog determines if spring is just around the corner, or if the weather will take a turn for the worse. The prediction is based on whether or not he can see his shadow. People think SUN= shadow = cold wintry conditions for another 6 weeks.
CLOUDY= no shadow = milder conditions, thus SPRING is on the way.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Hi Pookie,
I'm soooo sorry you've feeling absolutly dreadful kittypie. That's NOT any fun, and tends to make a body cross, no matter how many legs you've got! Bless you. I'm glad you've got Miss Maya and Mama-Holly to tend to you. Tho my guess is that the bearer of meds is NOT exactly your favorite person right now. I'm sorry. I hope you're soon feeling better dear fluffball, and are back to playing and delighting in the world. You are needed and loved lil kit!
Sorry it's been a rough week all round there at your house (nope, didn't miss there was also some good stuff happening). Whatever this extra kink is, hopefully there will be answers and relief soon.
In-the-mean-time, wishing you a snuggly-glad-to-be-together-celebrating-life-together sort of weekend, where you're each pampering the other and hearts rejoice, however quietly. Hope you're renewed and restored and ready for next week's travels. Hope some friends take you up on that invite, and there's some laughter and fun mixed in with appointments.
Safe Travels!

The boys designed and helped build their own cars. It's always fun to see all the unique designs all the Scouts have every year. We had a taste of your cold Northland last week, but it is now warmer again. I hope it stays that way. The boys are taking ski lessons now, as there is a good beginner mountain about 10 mins. from our house. They love it! I hope you have got some good sledding in on your purple Christmas sled!

I'm still astounded by the fabulous Bird-Pictures you all did. That was a GREAT adventure that would make perrrrfect postcards!
Hope you've done some fun experiments, enjoyed some school and singing, and been able to get together with Megan. Hope you've been able to see your Firefighter friends, or at least heard from them. And most importantly, hope you're staying warm (and dry).

Hey, whatever works! I'm sure Dublin enjoyed you yelling with them!
A brand new year stands before us. Sometimes a new year is very hard to face. Other times a new year is welcomed with open arms, with hopes that it will be better than the last one was. However you look at it, know that every day of this new year is in the Lord's Hands. He's already there waiting for you with open arms. And I'm here praying as always.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
