The prize this month is pretty awesome.  Like, Jodie and I squealed with delight when we saw it… for ourselves!  Then we thought, oh, yeah, our clients will love this too!

You’ll get this awesome collage of the images from your session on a 10×10 standout!  Which means it will be ready to hang!  Love standouts and LOVE this collage!

more on Parker today

I know Jodie is really appreciating all the prayers, texts, emails, etc from everyone!  It really helps to get through a really horrible time knowing you’ve got lots of people lifting you up!

I also know she would especially love for your continued prayers for sweet Parker.  The neurologist is now thinking it may be more serious than just the febrile seizures, given the way she is still being affected and acting.  I know with visiting with her last night, she still wasn’t acting completely like *Parker*… and I know how Jodie’s mom instincts were kicking in high gear with something not being right.  So remember little Parker today as she awaits her MRI, without being able to eat anything since about 9pm last night and her MRI isn’t scheduled until 1:45 this afternoon.

Pray for answers, for peace.

edited to add:  feel free to email me at kim @ freshartphotography.com if you’d like to help with meals/gift cards for when they get home!

Thanks for your Parker prayers!

Keep praying!  She has woken up, but is spiking a fever again and has a really high heart rate.  She’s currently in the PICU and will be there for a few days at least.  I know Jodie appreciates all the good thoughts and prayers!

Just came up myself from the basement after being in the line of fire of tornado warnings… and reports around the hospital area got some damage from the weather, including power outages and trees down.

in need of the power of prayers!

We have experienced the serious power of prayers in our lives, and especially from our blog readers!  So calling on it today!

Just got a call from Jodie’s mom that they are in the emergency room right now with Parker who has been having seizures all morning.  She had been running a fever, a pretty high one, but no other explanation for what is going on.  She is going through tests, but is still somewhat out of it.  I cannot imagine the fear and helplessness they are all feeling.

So, please, please pray especially for sweet Parker right now.  That the doctors can pinpoint what is going on and get her better.  And for Jodie and their entire families as they worry and wait!
