moving....to the other side...

We are moved to the other side of the room today..and it feels weird..our roommates (16yr old girl..and her mom) that we have had since day 3..have moved out..and we are missing them already.. I took them to the Ronald McDonald House tonight at 11:30pm..and will pick them up at 6am to take them to the airport..they are from St. Lucia and will be flying to NYC to visit with their Grandma..and the little brother who is 3 yrs old..this sweet momma has not seen her boy for 10months..
the reason for that is..because they live "out of the country"..and her sweet girl had the same procedure done that Kristin is having done..so they just stayed in the "states"...for a long time.. they did the time of "turning"..which was correcting the angle of the bone.. and then they had to lenghtening it.. then they stayed for the 6 months of keeping the "frame On and letting the bone" become strong..and WAITING to take the "frame off" ..so not to take it off to early..and then worry about any "break in the bone..or bending" in the area that was lenghtened... sooooooo after 10 months they had made friendships.. and it was hard to see them say "good-bye" to friends, nurses, kitchen girls, cleaning ladies..ect... ...which I do understand...its such a "family feel" between the families here... and I cant imagine being here for 10 months and not having my family come to visit.. "friends" would become your family..and then have to leave...wow...it has been an emotional day..
Im greatful for God letting us be a part of their "stay" ..it has been great.. and Im dreading taking them tomorrow..to the airport.. I love that our neighbor has had Christian Music/sermons on allllllll the time..its neat to see her "walk"..and I will miss them...I love that we are in the Palm of HIS HAND..and I will wait and see HIM... in alllll things..thanks for praying for my girl.. we are blessed.. I also forgot to mention that this last weekend..we had a neat guy from our church who stopped in and spent Sunday with us..it was great..cause Sundays are alittle slower..and we were blessed with his visit...thank you, Sterling.. much love, sweet friends..love Carla.. and her sweet girl.. our new number is.. 1-214-559-7706
