Larry, I've been watching this post and have been truly touched by what is going on. The LORD does and will heal your daughter! It is just unfortunate that she has to grow up in a harsh enviroment that we live in today. I have a 4 year old grandson who also has to deal with the terrible things that are going on in this world today. I really pray for all the children that have to deal with the things coming into this world today. I hope and pray that you will get a good report from the Doctors and that your daughter is on the rode to recovery. She willl be in the hands of the Lord and He will not let you down!!! Gods Blessings to you and your family! Love in the Lord!!! Tim
Larry, Reading this reminds me of when my twins were born 3 months premature. They spent 81 days in the NICU. I know it doesnt seem possible now but one day years from now this will be the furthest thing from your mind. We were told of so many things are kids wouldnt do, and through the the Lords hands they have proved all the experts wrong. Stay strong for your daughter and your wife. And dont forget to take care of yourself, you have many freinds here that you can always lean on.... We will all continue to keep you and your family in our prayers
Larry i'm at a loss for words. Teared up a few times reading your thread. Nothing we can say can make it all right. I'm just thinking about you guys and can't help but question if there is a god. Your strong daughter will prevail. And kiss your wife and daughter for me. I'll be praying for all of you guys!!
Larry hope things are going well. Please keep us updated. P.S. I think Parlin is very close to me. I'm in South Amboy near the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Dept. If you need anything, ride, milk and bread anything just ask. I'm going to P.M. you my cell #, thinking of you guys now daily.
Latest update: Currently she is home and was released from CHOP on Friday the 14th. She is doing well after surgery and there really isnt much to tell, as she is a normal 2 month old. As she gets older we will have more options as to how to treat her condition....as we can tell, she love's being home and love's to play with mommy and daddy . When she gets older and if things happen to start working, her surgery is reversible, which is a good thing. So as of right now were looking forward to her growing up, being happy, and giving us sleepless nights, at least while she is a baby LOL. And we are dealing with insurance nightmares as they are giving us hastle as to what is covered and what is not.....were letting the doctors and insurance companies hash it out. Thanks for all who have prayed along with us! Larry
Very glad to hear she's home where she belongs.:beers2: My offer still stands, if you need anything just ask. I believe i'm very close to you.:beers2:
Larry..my 13 y/o son is a bass player in the "Youth/Teen Ministry" at our church and I am drummer/percussionist on the adult Praise Team. We have a wonderful group of "Prayer Warriors" in our congregation and with your permission, I would like to include prayers for your family and especially for the healing touch of God, if it is HIS desire and will, for a quick and blessed recovery for your little daughter. Please know that we can only do the natural. But GOD can do the supernatural! ray: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Its been a LONG time since I have been on here and alot has been happening in my life...my daughter is now 3 years old and is doing fine, although we will know more about her options from CHOP once she gets a little older. Like her dad she is crazy about cars and loves all 3 of mine! :TU: Since I've posted last I had another little one come into the world on October 1, 2010...she is quite cheerful and yes, another girl ...well at least they will have the hottest cars in high school and no their boyfriends cant drive em :moonu: . Anyways things have gone great as far as my kids health, on the work front, because of my daughters medical bills (over 1 million dollars) and me having 5 hernias (twice operated, still have 2 more to go) I was terminated from my drafting job in 2009, according to them I was tampering with the computer causing a security breach. :af: Trust me if I had the money I would of sued them...since our lovely economy is so great I was forced to work my part time job at Dicks Sporting Goods and become a part time supervisor there, but the way things are going I will have to try and support a family and a mortgage on a fraction of what I used to make. As far as finding work in NJ, its non existent in the field of Drafting and Design. So I have been collecting unemployment since 2009 which I had to fight for for because of the lies they told the state of NJ. Its not all that bad, at least I get to stay at home with the kids during the day and work at night, at least until it runs out in 2 months, then I'm forced to work retail full time. Hope everyone here is doing well, like I said its been a long time since I was on here last and I hope everyone is doing well!
Larry, it's so nice to hear Victoria is doing fine! I can't imagine the pain you and yours have had to endure. Also wishing you the best on the job front. Go find out what's available to you from your state regarding grants or other monetary incentives toward education. I'm going to say this upfront and I mean it. These days, saying the words "then I'm forced to work retail full time" is a slap in the face for a whole lot of folks all over. Had it not been for some serious regrouping and a business plan, I would have been delivering pizzas after I left the automotive industry's management position I held a few years ago. Please don't discount any job, Larry. Devon
Larry....happy you still find a moment in time, to keep us posted! As for things of this world, PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD. I KNOW..this forum isnt the place to preach, but, nothing of this world matters... I have been in construction for 15 years, and out of work for the last 3.5 years, since May of '08. HOWEVER... GOD had seen us through so many times...not knowing where the finances will come from to pay even the smallest of bills.... I wake up each month with money in the account! The POWER of knowing what God can do, is ultimately our goal in life. You simply cannot trust in the world to see you thru these days. So, put your faith in God. He will never give you more than you can bear. He never fails. . . .and thats all I'm gonna say about that. Meanwhile, our family will pray for you and yours! God Bless. and be sure to Bless God in return! Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Prayers from my family also,I can only imagine your feelings, my 11week old spent a day in the nursery and I was very upset. She will pull through babies are strong!!!
Prayers and blessings sent up for the little one and may God bless you and your wife giving you peace beyond all understanding....we will have the people at our church put her on our prayer chain.....
I just read all of this thread for the first time. It's good to know that your daughter is well. I can't imagine what it would be to have a sick child. However, I'm right there where you are on the job front. For 31 years; I was a Land Surveyor. Liscensed by Alabama as Professional Land Surveyor since 1993. I, too was laid off in 2009; after, 31 years with the same company. I found work ; making less than 1/2 as surveying paid. (I'm working at a restauran, currently). Good news for me; the restaurant, gave me 2 raises. So, after two years at the restaurant; I am making 32% more than when they first hired me, in 2009. And, the increase in wages came with no increase in responsibilty! Hang in there! Enjoy, the time with your Family!
Hi Larry, Glad your little one is doing good...and I hope that you can find a job soon. Come to Yardley's picnic on May 14 - It would be good to see you again.
