Thoughts and PrayersJust a quick post to anyone who happens to read this today, or any day...I'm making a special request for healing prayers, for prayers of strength and for courage for two very special families.
A friend of mine - also a new mom to a beautiful baby girl - has been going through what I can only imagine to be a roller coaster ride through hell, as her little 5 month old angel fought for her life over meningitis. Thankfully, they are now back at home, and the wee one seems to be making a great recovery. There will be countless future assessments to ensure that there are no permanent repercussions from this terrible illness - but so far, everything seems to be back on the upswing.
A friend has been sitting by his daughter's bedside for 3 weeks while she too fights for her life after falling from the 3 meter diving board during a practice. The external injuries were slight, but internally, her little body is mangled. Fed and cleansed by a tube, pancreas and spleen compromised, loss of a kidney and no real medical understanding of what to expect next or when things will get better.
For both of these families, my heart goes out to them and every time I see my little one, who is happy and healthy and doing all the crazy things that a baby should be, I think about how quickly and easily things can be different.
Please think of these two families in your prayers. Even if you don't pray, please just think of them. Thank you.

Alex, thanks for this. It helps to know we are in other people's thoughts. Little Fi is doing SOOO much better now, which is such a relief. Give Gabrielle a snuggle!
My heart and thoughts are with both of these families. I wish them all the health I can muster! A child should never have to experience these horrible things and a parent should never have to see their child go through this. All the best.
