Stellan's Prayer

Nikki sent this prayer to me that she wrote for Stellan . She posted it on her blog, I'm posting it on my blog...feel free to post it on "yours" as well.

Strong with God's Grace

Thoroughly loved from miles afar

Even in his darkest hours

Love will always shine

Lord, please help him fight

And be present in all our lives

Near and far, friends and strangers unite

May the Power of our Prayers

Coarse through yours and mine

Know that we love you, whatever your plans are

In your Infinite Wisdom, we acquiesce

Nurture this little soul with your Love, in the

Name of all that is Sacred, please help

Endure this burden for Stellan

Your creation is humankind's priceless jewel.

Amen.

Who's Who

Updated September 2013

I have one sister who is married and has two boys. "A" was born June 2009 and "I" was born March 2012. We are both really close to my parents and have lots of "family dinners".

I wrote a lot about my patients when I first started this blog. Some patients are still growing and thriving, and others have lost their battles.

My first foster placements lived with me from June 2010-September 2011. They were sisters who were 15 and almost 3 when they were placed with me and are now 18 and 5. I called M "the teen" and L "the little one". They live with their mom who still has many issues, but are doing well (ok) and I still have (not enough) contact with them.

My second foster placement came to me September 6, 2012. I call her Zoe and she turned 5 in April. She has cystic fibrosis and has been a patient on my floor at the hospital. The plan is still reunification.

Ivy is a 17-year-old whose mom died just before Thanksgiving. She has a Guardian, but is unable to live with him due to some family issues. She has no other family who is willing/able to take her. She moved in with me the beginning of February. She moved to a group home at the beginning of August as her needs were too great for me with my schedule and having another child with special needs.
