Musings of a mother of many
Today Evangeline came home.
It took three rather large wagon loads to the car to empty her room.
And we had quite a few very special people we had to say goodbye to.
But now we’re home,
and so very blessed to be all together under the same roof again.
Blessings!
Evangeline is coming home!
She will come home today on a day pass, and providing everything goes well, she’ll be coming home on Tuesday.

We were able to bring Evangeline home on a one day pass from the rehab.
It was wonderful to have her home even if it only was for a little while.
She spent a lot of time in her room with Sophia, and I could see today how deeply Sophia misses her.
Sophia hasn’t slept […] Read more…
This week, the thought of having Evangeline in the rehab for several weeks just seemed too hard to bear, and I asked the case worker at the rehab to explore our options for bringing her home and for outpatient therapy.
I was just so worried about her spending so much time away from us and […] Read more…
I wish I could say I have been praising Jesus throughout the difficult days of the last few weeks.
I wish I could tell you I have been at peace.
I’d like to say that every day I have been aware that God is doing the miraculous in Evangeline’s life whether or not I can […] Read more…
It’s been sixteen days since Evangeline’s surgery.
She is feeling so much more like herself, and her incision site has really healed nicely.
Yet, the damage to her leg has been severe. Everyone is hoping her leg will gain a full recovery, but no one knows how long it will take or how much […] Read more…
