SUnday....... SUPPORT/STRENGTH - NEEDED

Good Morning OH

May we all continue to keep LINDA VICORY and her family all lifted up in prayer today as well as the days to come!

Linda, I continue to think of you and your family during this most difficult time! I am praying now and will continue to do so during the days ahead that will sure be hard to endure! Please know that we are here if you need us! Please reach out to us and do not go through this alone! Many of us could never phathom what you have gone through- but we surely "understand" your pains and sorrows! Our arms are wrapped around you with all the cyber hugs that we can give you! HUGZ DAWN

Good Morning,

I am up early! I could not sleep! I hope that those of you that are reading have said a special thought/prayer for Linda! I have said many!

I have to work today and then I will be attending evening service tonight! Other than that, not much else going on!

Please remember to keep those that you love close and to let them know! As we as an OH family learned yesterday- you never know what may happen and when those special people will no longer be there! Life is so uncertain! Lets at least be certain in knowing that those that needed to know that they were loved, indeed knew!

To all of you my OH family, I love you all and am thankful to have shared my journey with you! Those that I have met and those that I have interacted with online. You all have been a part of my journey and it would not have been the same without each of you!

Thank you, Dawn. I am still in shock. This is so hard to believe. But, Maggie was pronounced dead early this morning. They had to go through a series of tests to confirm it legally, first. She is still on life support, as they make plans for organ transplant.

Mikey is still in ICU. He got his vent removed last night. He's still in a lot of pain. We realized talking today that his door flew open in the accident. The only reason he wasn't thrown from the car was his seat belt, which he usually fought wearing because he found them uncomfortable.

Our dog is missing. They couldn't find her at the scene or in the car. I loved that little dog. She gave me comfort.

I need to ask for help from my family in Indy here. Is there anybody who could bring me a change of clothes to Riley? I wear a size L, and would really appreciate a tshirt and sweat pants. I don't want to leave. I would usually post my cell phone, but I need a hand. My phone is (812) 841-0755.

Linda,

I am so glad to see the update on Mikey! I continue with the prayers! I could pick you up some clothing and bring them by! I do work today but can stop in! I will give you a call, k? Please stay strong, as much as you can! I know that youir world seems as if it is upside down, right now! It is so tough to be the strong one, all the time! Your family is going through so much right now! I know that many of your family members will need all the strength that they can get at this time! We will offer you and them as much support as we can through our prayers and continued thoughts of healing, for all of those involved! The decision of organ donation is a very personal decision! I am grateful to you and Mike for making the decision to let Maggie live on through someone else! She truly is an angel! I am sure that no words can express to you the happiness that your sadness and sorrow have left upon the other family! God Bless You all and may he help you understand this all! Only he knows!

It's a painful choice. It we hadn't chosen that, it would be over sooner. But I think about my husband Mike's dad who got a liver transplant last summer. He'd be gone if someone hadn't done that for him. I'm up for the day, call anytime.

Linda,

So many people could be blessed with your decision... May God wrap his arms around you and give you peace.

You are doing a brave and wonderful thing.

Linda Kay

Linda and Mike

Such a brave and caring choice.  So many will have their lives literally changed or saved by Maggie's gifts of life.  

God bless you both and praying for Mikey's swift recovery.

Linda,

My prayers and thoughts are with you. Tracy had sent me a message on my cell phone when Maggie was pronounced brain dead. I kept bringing that message up every time I was up to go to the bathroom during the night. I guess my brain could not register that I had really read that. No mother should have to bury one child, much less two. I cannot even begin to imagine the shock and pain you and Mike are experiencing right now...and will be, but I do care very deeply for you. We may never know the 'why's' of God but he in his infinate wisdom felt that now was Maggie's time to join Lucy. He promises not to give us more than we can bare, so hon, have faith in that promise. I too think that it is a wonderful gift you are giving to allow another child/children to live with Maggie's assistance. Those parents will be eternally grateful for your and Mike's decision.

lwe ove you hon...

Sherri

Greetings all.

I am hoping that today many of you will spend time in prayer for the Vicory family.  I am truly heartbroken for you all.  Linda and Mike, thank you for your decision to help others with organ donation.  May God bless all the lives that are touched by your awesome gift to share.  May he especially bless your family as well.  I am sorry for your loss.

It's Sunday and my biggest plans are to take the kids to church and spend the day with them.  Yesterday that didn't really mean all that much.  But after the events that have occurred, suddenly it seems much more important to me. The kids and I agreed to pray together for the Vicorys at church this morning. 

I hope everyone has a safe and peaceful Sunday.

huge hugs,
Tracy

Dear Lord, please keep everyone safe today.  We are all in shock and now the reality is setting in. Please know that if there is anything I can do, let me know.  I am not close, but miles mean nothing when it comes to "family" and we are all family on here as well.

I just can't think of anything else to say. My heart aches for you.

Linda and family - there are no words.  You all have been on my mind ever since I saw the message last night.  Take comfort in the knowledge that Maggie will live on by helping other children to live.  Lucy now has her sister as a playmate in the halls of Heaven.  If you listen closely you will be able to hear their giggles.

We're all wrapping our arms around you, and holding our own families a little closer today.  We love you, and are here for you.
