GOD IS SO GOOD! Cuties, I know I don't have to tell most of you that, you already know, but I have to sing praises to Him. This was a blessing that was needed and He knows our needs, right?

Yes, a big family,as that is one big vehicle. I remember when they got it how long it looked, I told her our bus wasn't much longer.-lol-

Amen Lillian, God is so good. I know they will eventually want a van that will take her in her wheelchair inside together, but this is all they can afford to drive right now,and will fit all the family. They loose 1 seat going from the SUV, to the Van, so I suppose my husband and I won't be riding with them when we have long trips. Usually, for Avery's planned hospital stays, to the Children's hospital its only me and Ashley that go and stay. Thankfully, those haven't been much lately. She is really doing well, putting on a little weight, maturing even.She is here with me now. She got off the bus here and just finished watching/listening to Cinderella.I took her picture, I should show how much she's grown. And she got her new chair in. So now she's really ridin' high, a new wheelchair to fit and a new to them Van. Go Avery!-lol

Thank you Loralye . I know you too, have many blessings to tell, how He's worked in your life. He gives us, open doors for what we haven't even thought we needed. So Awesome!

Listen, can you hear us? I am rejoicing and so is Avery. Her bus aide said, when they dropped her here, that she has been tickled all the way home. She generally is a happy child. Yes, we are glad.Thank you

Yes, He will and He does! Glory to His name, we are so thankful. Ashley is going this morning to do all the DMV and insurance payments. Now lets pray someone else needs the Expedition, it's such a long vehicle, but so comfortable. We went with them on a pretty long trip before they had Gus, but 4 grownups, Avery in her big seat, and Nora in a car seat and their son, all rode comfortable. Ashley said she is going to look into getting a 5 point harness installed in this van, for Avery so she won't have that huge car seat. It will hold both shoulders, both sides of her pelvis and between her legs, just like a car seat strap but without the seat, and will be anchored to the van floor. That's the next thing...and selling the other SUV.

Yes Kim, and he has not forsaken Avery or her needs, and even tough she can't talk, He knows her heart is good. One day she will be able to talk, walk, run, have perfect vision,a new perfect body...Oh what a glorious day that will be!...there I go again, eyes and nose running-lol

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

Joyful indeed I am, we all are! I feel like I'm going to burst, I'm so happy. ..wouldn't that be a sight-lol-Thank you for reading this story. It was the same about the bed Avery was given a while back....all glory to our Most High, you are right.

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

Amen again and I forgot to say thank you, I know it's a long read.

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

Amen! and let them continue to flow for Avery's needs. Laura, I am so happy, I keep tearing up. Why do people cry when they are so happy...makes my nose stop up-lol-and I don't need that. Although like I said, it's an older model, they should still get a lot of mileage from it. And it looked so clean, I can't wait to see it in the daylight.

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

Thank you Angie, He knows our needs and when the timing is perfect. We are so thankful for all the blessings, but for this whole story. I am also thankful the lady has peace of mind, selling it to someone she most likely prayed, would buy it to fit their need. Thank you again,Toogie

Oh Sandra, its been the other way around. Hubby has been a good caretaker for me and it gave/forced Ashley and Grayson a chance, to try to have someone else help, with Avery and not depend on us, so much. It has worked out well during this time.
I am so happy for them. Anything to help the caregivers, I am thankful. Avery goes everywhere with them, as do all the kids, so its really useful. Avery has a busier social life than me!-lol-she has always loved being around people and especially loves to hear the children play/laugh. She loves music. She is a sweet child and I hope her personality doesn't change, as she ages.Thank you for taking the time to read about this, for being happy for my family, and a good Cutie friend.-Toogie

It's my husband's back I'm so worried about, as well as the others. Hubby has 2 disc completely gone, injury about 13 years ago. The doctor hasn't wanted me to lift on her, so I don't, unless it comes absolutely necessary/no choice. But you are so right, we all benefit, not just our girl.
I agree with you too. The woman was led to this time. Time to let go and feel good, that she helped this family, by letting go. He (God) made her adjustment easier, by doing so.
Well, I am staying busy when one thing or another. I have a list (in my head-bad place to keep it I know-lol) of things I want to make or emb before my trip. Immediate things are making and emb Avery's bibs and emb Rylan's diaper bag. He is due in October, but shower in a few weeks. Oh, I need to post those photos they text me, of the baby bedding I made. My son and his wife bought the bed, it's their first grand-baby. My grandson and wife set up the baby's room with the things I made. I need to show you all.

Marian, we love it too. Now Ashley can unload the chair off the rack, wheel right up to the van where Avery has already been swung out and let down. It will make the transition from seat to chair so much better and not risk them both falling. SIL fell with Avery in the house a while back, cutting her head. She's ok now,though I know her head must have hurt, at the time.

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

Whatever makes it easier for Avery's caretakers, will surely be enjoyed. She is getting so tall and unfortunately, so stiff at times, it's hard to pick her up and carry her.Thank you for reading-Toogie

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

You're very welcome, I'm glad you stayed to read through. How could I not give Him the glory He's due. He has been good to His faithful servants.

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

It is, isn't it? Everything worked out perfectly.

by toogie 12 Aug 2016

Ashley knew it was coming to a point that they need some better way of loading Avery. Thank you
