Who's the cutest girl around?

I am a mom of a cutie pie (very biased). And I wanted to share my experiences with others (including my cuties grandparents, great-grandparents, numerous uncles and other relatives). I love being a mom and can't imagine doing anything else.

All Packed...I think


To say I've been putting this off till the last minute is an understatement. I knew that writing this blog entry would be the last thing I did before I went to bed and so I've been holding out. But not I'm all packed (how do you pack for 6 weeks of isolation with an almost 2 yr old?!) or as packed as I'm going to be. On top of packing I am tyring to get our home organized so that work can be done to it while we are gone. I washed every blanket, pillow, towel and stuffed animal we own. Our washer and dryer have been running constantly for the last week. We emptied closest, moved furniture, picked out carpet, tile, faucets, paint, furniture, mattresses and now there is nothing left to do but go to the hospital. Having so much to do was a great distraction for me. I like having lists and checking things off. I kept adding little things to the list as if that would keep tomorrow from happening. Now its here and I cant do a thing to stop it. All I can do is pray.
I won't have our address until tomorrow but if you want to send a card that would be nice. I would ask that you include a photo of yourself with an animal, in a crazy costume or doing something silly. These will be so much fun for Alivia (and me) and we will be decorating our walls with them. Also if you cough or sneeze while you are writing the card don't send it. If you lick the envelope by accident don't send it. I know its extreme but we don't want to take any chances at all. (our transplant nurse said the thing about coughing and sneezing). Also if you want to send a gift there are some pretty specific rules for these too.
-No stuffed animals
-If you can actually touch the toy through the wrapper (try me buttons) then she can't have it
-If you can smell the toy through holes in the wrapper (ie Strawberry Shortcake dolls) she can't have it.
-In other words if there are any kinds of holes or breaks in the wrapper then she can't have it.
I walked through a few toy stores and put together a list of possible toys she can have and would like...Disney Princess, Littlest Pet Shop, Pretty Pony (careful some of these have holes you can smell through), Disney Faires, Moonsand, Dora, PlayMobil, Boardbooks (books with paper pages aren't good cause we can't wipe them down), movies and Polly Pocket. You might be suprised by the toys she likes. She loves little peices, dolls who she can change, beads, and crafts. I have more than enough markers, crayons and coloring supplies and the hospital can supply more if we need them. Please dont' feel like you need to get her anything. We are probably going to donate a lot of the toys she gets or that we are taking to the hospital when we leave (if they will take them). But she will get 6 weeks of enjoyment out of them.
I wanted to thank everyone who commented on the blog my dad wrote yesterday (go read it if you didn't get a chance). It was so overwhelming and amazing to be able to stop my packing throughout the day and read words of encouragement from friends and strangers. You will never know how much it ment to me (and my family). Many times I have felt like I was writing this for just a few and its so nice to know that many are still praying for Alivia. And thanks to all the kids who are praying for Alivia. There is something so pure about a child praying for my child. I covet your prayers. Thanks to my dad for thinking to write this blog. Many times I have told him that its hard to write when I don't know who is reading but he always encourages me to keep writing. So thanks for saying what I couldn't expresss. I'm so glad you are here to walk inot that hospital tomorrow. I can't do it without you. Also I would like to thank my Uncle Rob for the super sweet card and the books. We put the books right into the stuff to take with us so Alivia hasn't gotten to see them yet. I am so excited to read them to her. We tell stories each night before she goes to bed and I think she will love Pooh Bear so much. You are so thoughtful. Love you. Thanks to Jill P. for the gift and card. We are buying a ton of supplies for the house renovations and this will help so much.
I want to keep writing so I can avoid sleep which takes me to tomorrow but I know I need it. So I'm going to go sleep in my big comfy bed which I will miss so much for the next 6 weeks. I will try to post a photo each day from the hospital but it might take me a bit to figure out.

Hey guys. Not good at this blog thing and I didn't think I would ever post anything on the internet. Kelly posted earlier but I wanted to as well. I'm sorry for not doing it earlier. You three are always on my mind...

James, you are my brother. I know you take that as literally as I mean it. I love you.

Emily, you married my brother and you are the best thing that ever happened to him..trust me..we used to wrestle in whity tighties and that wasn't the best thing... Your the best, I love you.

Livi, you don't know me I don't think. But I pray for you every day. Your my family. Your so brave. God has his angels all around you. There is nothing to fear. I love you very much.

Without a doubt there is someone praying for you all at every second of everyday! And, WE WILL NOT STOP!!! Even after this is all just a memory! Then we will continue to PRAY WORDS OF PRAISE and SING SONGS OF JOY! Praying for an easy road for Alivia. Praying that she takes to being cooped up ok and that you are able to cope with all that is given to you in the months ahead. You are constantly on my mind and therefore always in my prayers!

I was just now able to read your "pa's" blog posting from yesterday. This will be short and sweet. You, James, your families and most of all Alivia are in our prayers. I continue to be amazed at your faith, James' faith, your families's faiths through this life-rocking trial...instead of abandoning your faith in Christ, you have all turned to God in faith and trust. What an amazing encouraging example you all have been to me! Thank you!
Much care, Lori Randolph (and Lane and Baby Girl Randolph too!)

I was thinking about how we organize prayer vigils at our church for times like these and maybe I should do that thru this blog but then I realized, everyone is praying so much all the time that I believe we're covered. Our prayers are a sweet aroma to God and can't you just see him taking a deep breath of that fragrance and smiling. He loves us so much. I'm so thankful. Can't wait to see what marvelous things He does.

"Thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation." --Psalm 91:9

The Christian knows no change with regard to God. He may be rich today and poor tomorrow; he may be sickly today and well tomorrow; he may be in happiness today, tomorrow he may be distressed--but there is no change with regard to his relationship to God. If he loved me yesterday, he loves me today. My unmoving mansion of rest is my blessed Lord. ... He is "my strong habitation whereunto I can continually resort." I am a pilgrim in the world, but at home in my God. In the earth I wander, but in God I dwell in a quiet habitation.
--Charles Spurgeon

Whether at home or in the hospital, may God be your habitation and may you all find sweet rest in Him.

You are in our familes prayers as you enter this next phase in Alivia's full recovery and healing.

The Solid Rock (On Christ the Solid Rock)

My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus blood and righteousness,
I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus’ name

On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand

When darkness seems to hide His face I rest on His unchanging grace,
In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the vale

On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand

His oath His covenant His blood, support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay

On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand

When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne

On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand

Emily,

Today's devotional was about going to your neighbors at midnight to ask for bread for an unexpected visitor, and to keep asking if you do not receive. I believe that enough people are asking for a miracle for your wonderful little girl that nothing but the best can happen. Our thoughts are with you as you begin your time in the hospital. The support system you have from your parents and James' is simply amazing.

I've never been good at memorizing Scripture, but this one verse remains constant in my heart as a reminder of eternal Truth and comfort:

Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you. . .plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Our daily prayers and thoughts are with you and your precious Livi. No doubt there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, whom you have never even met who are praying for your family each and every day. We are honored to be counted among them, as your sister and brother in Christ.

James, Emily & Livi,
We are praying for you today! I've been thinking a lot about each of you this week, especially last night and today!!! I 've been praying for baby Livi every few minutes & for great wisdom with all the doctors & nurses!! Emily your mom & dad are so amazing to me!! My mom & dad were divorced & I only saw my dad about once or twice a month. When I see how much they love & support you, especially your dad, it overwhelms me!! I am so thankful to God that you have all of James family & your family!!! God created family for this reason to love, care, serve, bless & surround you in times of need! All three of you are so LOVED by family, friends, CrossWay & most importantly our Saviour LOVES you 3 so much!!! It's so amazing to see how far you have come this past year since you found out about Alivia's illness & how you have organized fund raisers, how you all have been getting your house ready to be worked on (HUGE PROJECT) & how the both of you have such a spirit of strength thru the grace of our great God! I want to say thank you by your example of how you both drop everything & spend so many days playing with Alivia or taking her to the Aquarium or spending days with family! You have turned every heart wrenching second of fear into joy, trust, faith, love & the ability to press on! I know I would just cave in! But you both have shown me that God's grace & mercy can really uphold you when you need it! Tirzah & Naomi are recovering from croup & a yucky cold, but through every minute I have had faith & trust knowing that the same God who is taking care of Alivia is also taking care of my girls! Tirzah & I are saying prayers together all day & Naomi is lifting up her concerned face with us ;) as we ask Jesus to heal & strengthen little Livi! We are also praying for a great recovery & a special time that you will have for the next 6 weeks. Just think you won't any distractions of the laundry, dishes, errands, mopping the floors or whatever else distracts our time from our little ones. Instead you can be by her side every waking moment & sleepless nights praying for her, loving her & playing with her! God bless each of you today & know that God created this day for you & Alivia & knows every detail that will happen! In God's eyes today, February 27th, 2007 is a perfect day that HE created just for Alivia!! We can't understand why Alivia has to have cancer or why she has to have this bone marrow transplant instead of just being a healthy 23 month old who never has to be poked, prodded or even go to the Hospital, but I know that God has each of these questions answered in His perfect plan! I know it wouldn't be what you would have chosen, but HE knows best! He created Alivia & has created each of her days with you! Her life is being lived out to the very second the way God created it to be! Isn't He amazing?! Trust in that & keep having such deep faith in Him, He loves you, James & Emily!!

I wanted to write these two verses that came to mind to encourage you:
“God is our refuge & strength, an ever present help in trouble, therefore we will not fear.”
~Psalm 46:1
“O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
~Psalm 139:1,2,13,14.

Alivia is being prayed for at West Point. I like Aunt Marcy's idea of a prayer vigil. The day is probably covered but how about at night or in the early morning hours? It would be great to have at least one person praying during all of the 24 hours of the day. (I noticed on the last blog that someone is praying from Italy. It would be great if they were praying in the middle of our American night.)

Won't it be great when Alivia is all healed!!!!!!!! Let's get excited now. Aunt Cheryl

Hi James and Emily,

You were heavy on my heart today as I cleaned up from 2 sick kids from yesterday - a beautiful dream compared to your situation. God is helping all of us to carry your burdens in so many different ways, even though only a few can be "there" with you.

I just wanted you to know that Kathleen Miller and I were in the 2-year old room. The story for the kids was about Naaman, who had leprosy. Our focus was to be that his mommy couldn't heal his owies, his daddy couldn't heal his owies, the doctor couldn't heal his owies, but God could heal his owies. It was great to teach them this and then to pray with them for Livi!

We are always praying for you!!!

I've never posted a blog, but when a family member told me about Alivia I felt led to do so since she will soon be having her transplant and I had a son who has already had one. My youngest son was diagnosed with aplastic anemia 14 years ago...it was one of the lowest points in our life. We knew without a donor he would not make it..But thank God his brother was a match, even though he lived in Wyoming. A little known group called 'those who wait' flew him in and we had it done. The most devastating part for me was the fact that I was totally helpless in helping one of my own children, I had absolutely no control over what was happening to my baby. So I had to rely on a higher power....which I did. I prayed constantly, not knowing whether God would take him or not...even then I realized he belonged to God not me....Believe it or not that gave me comfort..And He told me to take one day at a time and cherish each moment...So that is what I did...ONE DAY AT A TIME...whether good or bad...and we had a lot of bad!!!That was 14 years ago but at times like these it just seems like yesterday..Praise God Bryan is OK now...He's 26 yrs. old, has a masters degree in library science and is working at Vanderbuilt University...My faith kept me going through it all and best of all my husband was saved shortly after....He discovered too, that we are not in control of our lives but GOD is...May God bless you and keep you.
