I fully intended to cross this off my 101 Goals in 1001 Days list in a couple of weeks when my BFF has her 4th baby (and I still will, Jess, no worries!) BUT I got the unfortunate opportunity to accomplish this task a little early.
My aunt Carolyn, who just turned 50 last week, had to be hospitalized after having a stroke on Thursday. She's doing better, but really needs your prayers. She is a single mom to a 17 year old autistic son with ADHD and several other behavioral issues. Because of my aunt's financial situation, she receives medical aide from the state, so they will likely have to be involved in my cousin's care while she is in rehab for the next month. It's a scary situation that will certainly result in him back-sliding in his (already slow-going) behavioral progress.
So if you think about my aunt Carolyn and cousin Shane, could you please lift them up in prayer? We know that God is in complete control of this situation and that everything happens for a reason...we're just praying for a full recovery and wisdom in how to move forward with the state assistance they require.
Now go hug your family. Most of us take our health for granted...myself included!

You got it, girlie. All the good stuff coming their way. xoxoxooxo
Father we ask you for Carolyn and her son that you heal them both completely, bless them and protect them and wrap them with your love!
Amen
I'm so sorry about Carolyn and Shane and will pray for them.
And yeah to visiting me! :) I can't wait!
Katie that is awful. I will be praying for your Aunt Carolyn and her son.
Autism is a frustrating disability for both the family and the one who is dealing with it. My younger brother has autism. I do want to caution you that you do not refer to your cousin as "my autistic cousin". Your cousin has autism. I am sure you would not refer to someone you knew with cancer as "my cancerous so and so".
I am pretty sure you meant well by your post. I can tell you love both your aunt and cousin by posting about them. Praise Jesus you are there for them. Sounds like your aunt has been through so much.
(((hugs)))
