I want to thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes for Christopher, me and the family yesterday. We have to go back tomorrow, and they are going to schedule an appointment with a Cardiologist. They think the veins leading from his heart to his brain could be the problem. I am much in prayer that this is not the case. So a big virtual *HUG* to all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. :0)
I recently found Crow Toes Quarterly. Has anyone ever heard of it? It looks to me like a great venue for some writers I know, that aren't published yet to get some publishing credits. I don't write fantasy, but I know some who do. Oh you know who you are. :) And I think fantasy is accepted along with playfully dark literature for kids. Is there a magazine like this for YA? Crow Toes is really for MG, but YA would probably love it too. Especially younger YA.
Tell me what you think. Hey, I might even submit a story. Stranger things have happened. :) Here's the link.
Never heard of Crow Toes before. But it looks like it'd be a good place for stories like "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Good time of year for them too!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of it, but I'll go check it out. I hope all goes well tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long road for your family ... keep courage and God close. I have faith and hope it will all work out soon :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, it would be a great place for "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It is a great place for MG kids to hang out and have safe fun. :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, Oh thanks for saying that you'll be thinking of us tomorrow. You'll never know how much comfort that gives me. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn: I am sorry to hear that the path is still difficult for your family. You are most definitely in my thoughts. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI will check out the link. Thx.
I certainly hope everything turns out well with your son. And thanks for the heads up on the magazine. I'm always looking for new ones to check out!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting link. I'll keep praying about tomorrow, Robyn.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying strong prayers for your son!!! Our God is mighty and works best under stressful circumstances. I love that nothing is impossible with him.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link as well!
Tess, you are right. It HAS been a LONG, LONG ROAD. I've learned some things about me and my family in that time. And more importantly, I've learned a lot about God. He doesn't leave us in our time of need. He's there, we just have to ask. I will keep courage and God close. Thanks, Tess. I am praying it will all work out and that my sweety will be healthy and safe. :)
ReplyDeleteTricia, thank you for the hugs. I needed them. And yes, still difficult, but doable for God. Please keep thinking about us. It gives me contentment. Something I need a lot of these days. :)
ReplyDeleteBJ, hey girl! :) I have to say that your pic looks great. Thanks for the wishes for Christopher. I appreciate it so very much. :)
ReplyDeleteCindy, yes! Please keep praying. I-he-we need them. I'm counting on my bloggin' friends prayers. That's how I'm getting through this. Prayers lifted up to God on his-our behalf. :)
ReplyDeleteT.Anne, thanks for praying. Our family really needs all that we can get. :) And as I read your comment, I was struck by something you said. Our God is MIGHTY, and nothing is impossible with him. Thanks my pal. :)
ReplyDelete*hugs and prayers* I hope the docs are able to get to the bottom of it--quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. It looks shiny and beautiful (much like yourself.) I shall be clicking shortly. :D
Robyn, Sorry I missed yesterday's post, but I hope everything goes okay with the cardiologist! I don't know if I can ever be of any help, but being a biochemist, i have access to a bunch of medical journals and I also know several doctors. If there's ever a question I can work on, don't hesitate to ask.
ReplyDeleteHey Danyelle! I am so very glad you stopped by, for I miss you through the week these days. :) You MADE my day today. Shiny and beautiful? Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you, thank you for the hugs and prayers. I hope they are able to get to the bottom of it quickly too. I'm beginning to get tired and frustrated. I see way too many doctors. GAH! :)
Robyn, I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers that tomorrow the doctors will get to the root of your son's medical problem. Yes,keep the faith knowing that NOTHING is impossible for GOD. If you can stand one more, here's a *HUG*
ReplyDeleteAnd Robyn, I just noticed from your past posts that the hospital is in Chapel Hill. Both my grandma (92 & still kickin') and great-grandmother grew up near Chapel Hill in Rockingham, NC. Small world! :)
Hi Robyn! I'll definitely be praying for the doctor's appointment tomorrow! Isn't it encouraging to know the Great Physician!:)
ReplyDeleteDavin! I never thought about that until you just mentioned it. What a great idea. I may take you up on your offer. Thank you my friend. That gives me a lot of encouragement. :) And don't worry about missing a post. I know for sure that you are thinking great thoughts about healing for him. :)
ReplyDeleteCrystal, It is a small world. I just realized something. Are you my ol' friend from critique circle? The Crystal that I critiqued your story about the girl wanting to join her mama in New York, but she had to stay with her grandparents. She kept hopin' for a letter. That was some great writing. And if that is you, it IS small world!
ReplyDeleteAnd I need all the hugs I can get. It feels so good! Thanks my friend. Give your grandma a squeeze for me when you see her. She had to come from good stock. How wonderful for you to have her still. :)
God is with us, but I am scared. That's really the first time I've admitted it out loud. Thanks for your prayers. :)
{HUGS back at ya, Robyn}
ReplyDeleteI never heard of that link. I'll have to check it out.
Maria, please do. I'm counting on it. Yes, it is wonderful and reassuring to know the great physician. I'm still frightened, but I know God is walking through this with me. :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer, yes check it out. It is a place for MG kids to sit back and have some fun. Ivy is going to submit an illustration. :)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers will be with you and Christopher tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Buttercup. I appreciate you and your prayers and kindness! :)
ReplyDeleteAs I write this you're probably getting ready to go to the hospital again to see the cardiologist, Robyn (it's early morning on the 14/10). I've just lit a candle for you and your son and do hope that all will be well. Most importantly that the specialist can find a way to heal your son. Sending a big ((((HUG)))) for both of you
ReplyDeleteAnn, thanks so much. It means the world to me. Glad to see you're fine. I have missed your posts. Gotta head out. :)
ReplyDeletePrayers continuing!
ReplyDeleteCheck out our newly renovated Rose & Thorn Journal tomorrow too, if you're looking for a little literary online corner to browse through. :)
We are keeping you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted!
You're on my prayer list. I'm sorry things are so rough.
ReplyDeleteAngie, thank you so much. I am so thankful for my bloggy buds. And I will go tomorrow. I did sign up for the newsletter. I'm so tired. The cat thinks he dragged me in. :)
ReplyDeleteTamika, great letter in your post. Thanks for your prayers. You'll never know how thankful I am. :)
ReplyDeleteJill, thanks friend. I so appreciate the prayers and all the l-o-v-e I'm feelin'. :)
