Friday




Pics from earlier this week


Paige's pain is under control, but she sleeps almost all the time now. I guess it caught me by surprise that that could happen so soon. Her swollen face looks like that of a much older child. She only talks when she needs to. Like when I try to get up off the bed where I've been cuddling with her, and she'll say "Want Mama sleep nexxa me!"


The Healing Rooms group came yesterday and added a huge mountain of faith. All I know is, I really want to keep my little girl.

Saturday


We increased her calming medication, and decreased her pain medication just a little, to see if it would make her less zonked out. She had a very quiet and peaceful night, and she did interact with us a little bit more in the evening.


Just a quick thought - if you are planning to visit, could you call ahead? It helps with keeping the chaos level down, when we know what we can expect for a given day.

Please keep the Healing Rooms people coming. I work on Saturdays at the Tulsa Healing Room and we are seeing people healed and I mean healed from cancer and other devilish stuff. Please don't lose faith. Keep pressing in to the Father's heart for Paige. Declare His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And there is no cancer in heaven!!

I still remember last fall feast, when I met Paige in the hall of the dining room, and she wanted me to hold her. Random me, whom she'd never seen before! I was utterly charmed.

Still knocking at Jesus' door!

Dear Keri, Curt Jensen from the Healing Rooms wrote this poem for Paige and asked me to forward it to you. Your whole family continues in our prayers:
Dear Robbin,
My husband wrote a poem for Paige and wanted to get it to Keri. I thought I might send it to you and you can forward it to her.

Psalm 118:17
There she lies this child past two
Not quite three, what shall we do,
The enemy of man has set his snare,
This curse of sickness lingers near.

In prayer we stand before God's throne,
We come to Him and Him alone,
Then speak Your words, O God so clear,
"In Me is Life-So have no fear".

What is too hard for me, my dear?
I've raised the dead, so why have fear,
No sickness or disease can stand,
When I, your God, reach out My hand.

So, Keri, come in faith don't waver,
For I'm her Healer and her Savior,
Recall the things that you have heard,
About the power in My Word.

I AM the Lord of Life for you,
Not only you, but sweet Paige, too,
And to this child I stretch My Hand,
As on My Word, Keri you stand.

And watch the wonders that I do,
In health I give her back to you,
She'll surely live and shall not die,
She shall proclaim her God on high,
A testimony from her lips will be,
"I praise my God-For He healed me"!

Kerri, I think of your family often and pray for you. You're precious. I wish there was a way you could SEE the love and faith that are flowing out of so many hearts on your behalf...

Love and more love, Claire

Kate said...

Wow, what you guys are going through must be very tough, and I will pray for you and your daughter every moment of the day. I wish you all well, and all I have to say now is have faith that things will get better, and belive they will too.

I am sorry that you have to go through such a rough spot in your lives. I have lost a son, and no matter how or where God decides he needs that special Angel, they still are a part of you...My son is not in pain, and that is something that I have to hold onto. Please have faith that God will make the right decision.

I see Ben often as I work at DHMC, so I will keep your family in my prayers.

Kerri, I know you are searching out God's will for Paige. I just want to encourage you to seek Him and His will in His Word, His Scriptures. The Bible is full of texts dealing with what He says about spiritual AND physical health for His children (all of us who believe in Him). Those booklets that came from the Healing Rooms highlight those texts so I encourage you to read them and claim those promises for Paige. Jesus said, "I come that you might have life and have it more abundantly" (John 10:10) and that is what I continue to pray for Paige and for your entire family.

My faith is stacked onto all the rest for beautiful Paige today.
Love to you all...

I am so happy to hear from my Claremont friends! I was hoping my prayer request would reach you guys!! Patty and Karen, could you come visit us? I have tried to reach both of you recently, but without success.

My heart goes out to you both, Kerri and Ben. Paige was a delightful little girl. I so enjoyed meeting her and i am sorry she is no longer here with us.
I send you love, strength and light.
