I walked in to see her this morning to find no tube in overnight. Yeah! Just need another 5-8 hours where the family can see her so she can talk. Each day we move forward or have a sense of improvement is good for our hearts. Still hoping for a miracle. She is certainly remaining stable today. Breathing is very heavy, but she isn't gasping for air. I had trouble sleeping last night. My eyes are puffy. My head is hurting. I'm sure my body is tense, because the situation is tense. This morning in the shower my mind would wonder to cleaning out her room. I prayed for God to quit letting these negative thoughts intrude into my mind. May my mind be filled with hope and a future. Come Lord! More Lord!
Love,
Mom

Tammy, my prayers are always not only for healing for your girls, but for comfort, peace and ease for you and Tracy as parents, and for the siblings who all are suffering, too. Our year has been very hard loosing my husband so quickly, but I cannot imagine your battle with a child/ren! Your family has been an example of strength for Erica and I. I pray your family arrives before a tube must be inserted, but I pray more for God to intervene with Kelsey's healing and that his will be done. Love, hugs, and prayers continually to you all! Our God is an awesome God!!

Hey Tami-
ReplyDeleteThis is Steffenie Dickey (Mikes wife) we met years ago. I just wanted you to know that we are following your blog and praying with you throughout this time. Our hearts break with each setback and leap with each victory. We love your beautiful family and will continue to trust God for your future. - The Dickeys
Tammy, You don't know me, but I have been following your family's journey for some time now. Like Brenda, I can't imagine the battles you have fought with this disease with your girls. My husband passed away from a rare genetic disease this past May. (Two weeks after Brenda's Ron passed.....she is a dear friend of mine.) I have a 13 year old who still deals with the passing. It was a 14+ year struggle, with the worst being the past two years. So, although I do not know what you are going through....I DO know of the unfathomable peace God can give, as I am sure you have experienced over and over again. I can assure you that my prayers for your family will be continuing and that God WILL give all of you exactly what you need. We can never understand things like this......but we can hold onto what we do understand, and that is God's amazing love and grace. He is holding you each in the palm of His hand as we pray for healing, peace, and comfort. My best friend, Diane Hird, held a homeschool volleyball camp this past summer and was privileged to get to know one of your daughters. She sends her prayers your way, too. Blessings to you all. You continue to be an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteFor some unknown reason I felt led to drive to your house and put my hand on Kelsey's window & pray for all of you. I don't understand any of this, but am learning to trust in a God who has a plan that we as humans cannot understand. But for certain He does have our best interest at heart even when we see darkly. One day, God's glory will be revealed. I'm praying that is now, even still!!!! But we do have HOPE. Loving your family & Kelsey as always.
ReplyDeleteHi Koch Family . . . this is the Corkwell Family--Patrick, Jolene and Judah. The Dickeys recently shared your story with us and we just saw this blog. It has been inspirational to see how God is so faithful to meet your every need each moment. Sometimes it is only given a moment at a time, but always just in time! We are standing with you in prayer. Thank you for standing with us so many times as you have. What an encouragement you have been to us. We love you!

Kelsey is fearfully and wonderfully made and not one thing can stand against His Word when we stand on His Word. We are pleading the blood over Kelsey and I know members of my family who are fasting for her as well. Keep playing music in her room, especially songs about the blood and know that God has a plan and He is faithful. He wants her to know she is fearfully and wonderfully made. Keep saying it over her and over her. He is so good and faithful.
ReplyDeleteTammy,
ReplyDeleteI also couldn't sleep last night up from 1-4 praying warfare for Kelsey. Don't be discouraged there are so many fighting back the darkness with you guys, many you don't know.
We continue to pray for Kelsey and your family. We also are praying for a safe journey for your family to arrive safely. I was glad to see the musical was postponed at school. I know it means so much for Tracy to be a part of it. But right now, he needs to be with you and Kelsey. We continue to pray and send the warmest thoughts to you all. GOD IS A MIGHTY GOD !
