(Dave and Sadie, last year November 18, 2011)
Today was Sadie’s first day of Maintenance. We spent the morning at Lucile Packard
Children’s Hospital where she received a lumbar puncture and Vincristine chemo thru
her port.
Each night before a procedure like this,
I pray that angels will surround Sadie and guide the doctors and nurses hands;
that everything will go well. Today as I
wandered the halls pushing an empty stroller while I waited for Sadie to come
out of the surgical room, I got a little emotional. I was overwhelmed with the feeling that this
is a place where miracles happen. There are
angels that wander these halls and fill the rooms; that surround the children
and their families.
As excited as I am
to one day put all this behind me, I can honestly say that I will miss this
place. I will miss the feeling that is
there, that words can’t describe. It’s a
place of miracles and angels and I am grateful to have felt their
presence.

Yay for maintenance! I am so thankful for all those angles (the ones supporting in spirit and the ones doing all of the procedures on Sadie) at the hospital.
I am so excited for it to be behind you too. I can totally attest to the special feeling within those walls that you are going to miss though. I miss that feeling too. Obviously my circumstance was a million miles away from yours, but Shawn and I would go back for Sunday service sometimes just to be amongst angels (heavenly and earthly).
