Katrina took Anna to Buffalo to the Children's Hospital on Tuesday to rehydrate and boost her nutrition before the gastic rube was inserted on Thursday. The procedure went well and Katrina was to bring Anna home on Saturday. However, Anna has had a low-grade fever every night. They were hoping to come home Sunday but the fever continues and Anna vomitted twice Sunday morning so they are still at the hospital. Neal is getting through the end of the semester finals and work pressures. Sisters in the ward have been wonderful to care for Daniel but now he has developed a bad cold. Neal was able to come from Olean to visit with Katrina and Anna for a few hours Saturday afternoon. Our thoughts and prayers continue with them.
HEAVEN’S VERY SPECIAL CHILD by Edna Missamilla
A meeting was held quite far from Earth.
It was time again for another birth.
Said the Angels to the Lord above—
“This special child will need much love.
“Her progress may be very slow,
“Accomplishment she may not show,
“And she’ll require extra care
“From the folks she meets down there.
“She may not run or laugh or play,
“Her thoughts may seem quite far away.
“So many times she will be labeled
“’Different,’ ‘helpless’ and ‘disabled.’
“So, let’s be careful where she’s sent.
“We want her life to be content.
“Please, Lord, find the parents who
“Will do a special job for you.
“They will not realize right away
“The leading role they are asked to play.
“But with this child sent from above
“Comes stronger faith, and richer love.
“And soon they’ll know the privilege given
“In caring for their gift from heaven.
“Their precious charge, so meek and mild
“Is heaven’s very special child.”
