The doctor just came to speak to my Mom and me. I was fully expecting good news because I feel so much better Really - ask anyone who has been up here).
While I have not gotten worse in the hospital - I have not gotten any better. I am most likely have to have a liver transplant because 80% of my liver is unusable. The doctor says I am literally on the brink of death and the next few weeks are crucial. WE HAVE TO PRAY FOR A MIRACLE RIGHT NOW. I must be here for my husband and my boys!
I hate having to do this via a blog or an email but I thought it best to get the news out as soon as possible. I have so much follow-up to say that will be coming in spurts but please pray now.
Many of you have called or emailed asking if you could come by and visit - and I would love for you to. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU! Right now I am only scheduled for one procedure in the morning (none today except a blood transfusion and I am in my room for that and bored) so that may be the only time I will not be in the room. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE though - come in a spirit of happiness and prayer. I do not want to be asked questions. I want to enjoy everyone's company. I do not want to turn this into a crying deal. The stress will just hurt me more.
Again, I am sorry it had to come out his way but I covet your prayers now! Please watch for constant blogs (I am going to assume you are reading the blogs - but if you cannot or wish not, please send me your email address - even though I obviously already have it - but I want to make this easier) and I will start a master email list).
So many things to still say...I had a great DQT and will share with you later...EXPECT MIRACLES!!!

ReplyDeleteDawn,
ReplyDeleteI prayed as soon as I received your email and then Mills and I got together to pray for you. Where two or more are gathered, He is in the midst of them.
Praying you receive your MIRACLE soon!! I told God that when HE delivers your miracle, that we will SHOUT it from the mountaintops and never quit proclaiming HIS marvelous and glorious works!
That will be a fun PRAISE PARTY!!
Love you and am lifting all of you and your precious family up.
God has you in the palm of HIS hand. Know that.

Miracles by: Walt Whitman
ReplyDeleteWHY! who makes much of a miracle?
As to me, I know of nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach, just in the edge of the
water,
Or stand under trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love--or sleep in the bed at night with
any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with my mother,
Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive, of a summer forenoon,
Or animals feeding in the fields,
Or birds--or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,
Or the wonderfulness of the sun-down--or of stars shining so quiet
and bright,
Or the exquisite, delicate, thin curve of the new moon in spring;
Or whether I go among those I like best, and that like me best--
mechanics, boatmen, farmers,
Or among the savans--or to the soiree--or to the opera,
Or stand a long while looking at the movements of machinery,
Or behold children at their sports,
Or the admirable sight of the perfect old man, or the perfect old
woman,
Or the sick in hospitals, or the dead carried to burial,
Or my own eyes and figure in the glass;
These, with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
The whole referring--yet each distinct, and in its place.
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the
same,
Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;
Every spear of grass--the frames, limbs, organs, of men and women,
and all that concerns them,
All these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.
To me the sea is a continual miracle;
The fishes that swim--the rocks--the motion of the waves--the ships,
with men in them,
What stranger miracles are there?
Richard and I are lifting you up to the Lord. We pray for a miracle but also for His super natural peace to be poured out on you, Clay and your parents. May God reveal His gl;ory through a miracle for you, Clay and you boys. You are on our hearts. Love, Kendall
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn,
ReplyDeleteJust finished praying for you, Clay, the boys, Jay, Aunt Di and Uncle Stanley. We have a God who hears our prayers (Ps 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him),and still performs miracles each and everyday. I have no doubt you will be one of His miracles.
Keep your head up, smile on, there is a nurse or a doctor who needs to hear the Word of God through you. Through this blog alone you are ministring to so many, pulling so many to come together all in the name of our Father.
Love you - Tammy
King family is praying. Let us know if we can transport Payne to and from football, spend the night, etc. Never a problem or burden. Tom
ReplyDeleteDawn,
ReplyDeleteHope you got my prayer that I sent out via email earlier. Thinking about you tonight and pray you are resting peacefully and comfortably.Love, April
Hi Dawn - I have never blogged - pretty cool. You seem to be getting good at it. Thinking about you so much. Where has time gone - We need to be back in Salado with those two crazy aunts of yours!!! ALMA and ALTHA??? or maybe riding a bus to see the Timberman sisters. How about those paddle boats at Aquamarina Springs. I wonder if that place is still running? Hope to come see you soon. Maybe bring you lunch next week!!! Love you - Kim
ReplyDeleteHope to see you soon. Terri H. and I are working on a Seinfeld skit to perform in your room since you want to keep this lighthearted. Seriously, you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Hey if Steve Jobs can get thru this so can you. Maybe you should start wearing a black turtle neck and jeans everyday like he does. Maybe the costume has something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteLeigh
HI DAWN!! It's Margaux Debain, your french side of the family. We are all thinking of you and are all praying for you! Lots of Love!
