Yesterday afternoon and then again today we heard the most joyous sound, Georgia laughing. It was a quiet kind of congested laugh but she definitely was laughing. I had resigned myself to never hearing that sound again. It had been 20 days.
Georgia seems to have settled right back in at home. She seems way more content and actually gets to visit more than one room. The girls have been entertaining her quite a bit. It's so nice to have my family whole again, if but for a short time.

I am so impressed with all of your strength and clarity. I cannot even imagine what your family is going through and cannot believe how you are handling it with such grace and thoughfulness.

Hi Lucas Family!!!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Lorna Blue. My sons are Elijah (4) and Hayden (2) and my husband is Ken. We are the people that put up the crazy amount of "christmas lights" each Christmas (across from the school). We have also had the pleasure of playing together at the play ground. We are so shocked and saddened to hear of Georgia's illness. I wish I new about it before today so that we could have provided some support and prayers earlier and have attended Georgia's birthday party. Regardless we will be praying for Georgia and Kristen, Mike, Calla and Maya immediately. For anyone else that is reading this, the Lucas family touched our hearts one Christmas when they thanked us for the Christmas display by putting a picture of their family standing in front of our home in our mailbox. Some of our Christmas lights are still up but aren't turned on. We will turn them on every night now to hopefully brighten your evenings during this difficult time. We will also be donating a whole slew of Elijah and Hayden's toys to the Children's Hospital. We would also like take Maya and Calla to the park or play outside your home (if you prefer) as a break for Kristen and Mike. We respect and admire your decision to explain to Maya and Calla that Georgia is an angel. She really is an angel!!!! (I would offer meals, but I'm a terrible cook!). If they is anything else we can do for you, please let us know!!! God bless you.
