As many of you many know, yesterday morning Leanne was found unconscious and was taken to Welland Hospital. It was decided that she should be airlifted to McMaster Childrens' Hospital in Hamilton. The diagnosis was that Leanne had suffered a stroke at the age of 16, leaving her paralyzed on the right side of her body and unable to speak.
She was able to understand what had happened to her and could communicate to her parents with hand squeezes and big smiles, albeit a bit lopsided.
Since this is not Diana writing this, I don't know all the medical terms so I will leave those up to her to explain later.
Leanne is able to read your comments on her Ipad so feel free to show her your support via comments or Facebook.
Please keep Leanne in your thoughts and prayers. She has a long road ahead of her but we know that she is in the hand of our Heavenly Father.
We love you Leanne!! we're praying for you!

Ephesians 3:14-21
ReplyDelete`For this reason I kneel before the Father,from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Chirst may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more work than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!Amen.`
praying continually. Madelaine
