Yesterday right after writing my blog post, I checked my email and learned that dear friends of ours from church were at the hospital with their three-year old son who had fallen. His head injury was severe enough that they were going to be taking him by helicopter to Columbus Children’s Hospital. So I called Tim and we headed straight to King’s Daughters. Fortunately, our friend Martha works in the ER and was able to get us up to him a “back way” allowing Tim to pray with them right before Jonah was placed on the little stretcher and taken away from Kevin and Abby.
Brenda and Linda (two of my precious friends) were planning to drive to Columbus later in the day, so I headed home and met Jonathon to quickly run to Olive Hill and pick up all of our Nick Nooks!!! (I’ll write about those tomorrow).
Then we set out for our trip to Columbus with a Basket of Hope and WalMart supplies Brenda got on the way.
I just learned that Jonah’s condition may still require surgery (we were hoping last night that it might not).
He has another catscan tonight at 7 p.m. to see if the blood pocket is beginning to absorb into the brain.so far it is not changing.
Please pray for Kevin, Abby, and Jonah as they wait today.
I wanted to share some sweet pictures of Jonah and his family.
One special part of the trip for me was getting to see Dr. Kosnik (Nick’s brain surgeon is Jonah’s doctor). Thank you, Tim, for making those difficult phone calls to help that happen.
What a special, tough, emotional, wonderful, rewarding day…Thank you, Lord, for being our Provider, Comforter, Sustainer….our Everything! Thank you for allowing my first Basket of Hope delivery be to not only a dear, dear friend but also to a patient of Nick’s precious doctor! For those reasons, I am thankful.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 

Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift our eyes to the hills, where our help comes from,
You Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
Father God, watch over little Jonah, I know you will not slumber, and that he is in the palm of your hand.
I pray that you will heal him, that he won’t even need the surgery.
Father, be with his Doctors as they make decisions how to treat him, and I pray you will comfort little Jonah’s Parents and draw them close to you as they trust in you.
God Bless,
natalie
sigh…God is awesome…He is the great physician…my prayers are with Jonah and I praise God for working out the details with the surgeon and prayer time before he left Kings daughters…
Love ya!
