Madi is home!

In all of the rush of things just before, and after, we left for the field, this entry was never posted. Sorry, Matt and Val, I really wanted our prayer warriors to rejoice with you. They had a lovely Christmas together and we praise God for allowing Madi to make it through.

This entry is actually an email sent to me by Madi's Grandma. For those who don't know Madi has spent the last year and a half battling brain cancer. I'm sure everyone who has been praying for her for these past months will enjoy reading this post.

When their car turned the corner and headed down the street to home today Madi's unsolicited response was: "Thank you God for bringing me home safely."

We are a very happy family this evening. Madi is finally home and healthy. She was greeted today by a special friend, as you can see in the picture, a multitude of balloons, and many many welcome home cards. Just watching her today it seemed I was watching the little girl from a year and a half ago. She was laughing while watching a movie, smiling for no apparent reason, and even walking with the special swing of her right arm that she used to do. She very seldom expressed what she was feeling these past months but the visible change I noted today made me wonder what went on in her little head all this time.

Thank you all for your kindness and prayers, Rosalie
