First of all, my husband and I had some important business to take care of, and we did. It was something I had been envisioning now for a long time, and now that it is happening, it is so surreal. This refers to a few posts back when I told you all that we had something big coming up, and I asked you all to pray. Please, please continue to do that for us.
Another extremely surreal thing happened today. After I stayed up all night worrying about the above topic, I finally dozed off to sleep around 5am. At 6:30, my cell starts ringing, and I was surprised to see my husband's work number on the caller ID. He called to tell me the sad news of his cousin, Morgan.
Morgan is a heart transplant patient. Seven years ago she received a heart just in time, and made such a remarkable recovery. I didn't know her until three years ago, but my husband said she was the healthiest she'd ever been. She began having unexplained seizures the day after Christmas. She had some at home, some at Huntsville Hospital, and then some at UAB where she was sent due to her heart condition. The UAB staff ran many test to figure out what was causing the seizures, and in the process determined that her heart wasn't functioning up to par.
Morgan passed away on the morning of December 30 at the age of 25.
She was such a good-hearted person, and she was so wonderful with my babies. She made TONS of good pictures of them (her new hobby was photography, and she was amazing at it). Brody was ALWAYS asking to go to Morgan's house. It just doesn't seem possible that she isn't with us anymore. I don't know what I'm going to do when I get a brilliant photo op idea, because I used to immediately get on Facebook and send it to Morgan. And, within a week or two, she made it happen.
Please keep Morgan's parents, her three siblings, and all of her family in your prayers.
