We Couldn’t Imagine…

Last week our Jubilee had to go for some very extensive testing. After a couple of hours of being there Dw phoned me to see how it was going. I told him a little about it all and before long he was choking back tears as he spoke, “I hate that she has to have…

A Saturday Story – Just for Some Fun

August 20, 2016August 21, 2016 Linny Saunders3 Comments

Jubilee seemed better this morning, all things considered. But right now is a different story. She wants me to call the doctor. And although that won’t do anything, she doesn’t understand that. The pain is just rough and seems to come in waves. Ugh. At least there was some improvement this morning, which would mean…

Jubilee’s Home

Thank you so much friends for all the prayers for Jubilee. Taking her into the O.R. was much worse than I had anticipated. She rarely cries, but crocodile-size tears ran down her cheeks as she pleaded with me, “Mom. No, mom. Why??” She’s so brave. Seriously. So brave. Even in her questioning, she didn’t fight…

We’re down at Children’s and this sweet chica is heading into the OR in a few minutes. I think this is the most difficult part of being a mom of many with medical needs. It’s just so hard. I’m thankful for God’s grace, but it doesn’t mean it’s fun or easy. Because of Jubilee’s needs,…

A Note from Jubilee {and Mommy}

A note from Jubilee and Mommy: Thank you my friends for praying for me. It wasn’t fun. I kept throwing up after. But Mommy stayed right with me and took good care of me. I was so cold after I came out that Mommy and the nurse wrapped me up just like a mummy –…

Jubilee’s in the O.R.

Miss Jubilee is back in the OR about to have surgery and I know there are whole bunch of bloggy friends who have a special place in their heart for our Jubilee Promise. I just left her in the OR. She had fallen fast asleep in my arms with the mask over her mouth…

“Farm” Stories

May 22, 2014 Linny Saunders2 Comments

A year or so ago I wrote about our unexpected “harvest” from our own backyard and the dates are growing nicely this year as well! So excited! As I mentioned in that post, we embrace our new city lives, but every now and then we talk about the joy-filled days of chickens, roosters, goats, barn cats,…

Jubilee Can Hear {Finally!}

February 9, 2014 Linny Saunders24 Comments

Joy of joys! Jubilee can finally{!} hear! We praise the name of the Lord that He gave man the idea for bone induction hearing… and wisdom for the technology behind it… because now our precious girl can hear. Jubilee waited 12 years and her smile says it all. She was so excited she could hardly…

Could She Really Be 12 Already?

Four years ago Christmas Eve Emma and I arrived at home in Colorado with our precious girl…. Jubilee Promise Jubilee would turn 8 years old two days later {the day after Christmas} and weighed a whopping 27 pounds. 8 years old and 27 pounds I still can hardly fathom how frail she was. Our girl…

Even Though Oceans Apart

Our Emma has been gone now for almost a full year. And even though she is oceans apart, she is always very near to our hearts… We are so grateful for the ability to Skype on a semi-regular basis {when she has power}. I can’t imagine how missionary families did it not-so-long ago. Recently Emmy…
