Give thanks and Needed Prayers

Going to share a few pictures, and then get to the meat of this posting! 

Brittney and her date to homecoming. She's getting so big...and now...no braces. 

 Ivee had a field trip to the Corn Maze. So much fun!! 

 My adorable baby girl looks so cute next to this pumpkin! 

And She LOVES her teacher, Mrs. Jones! 

Friday night, November 2nd we had the privilage to meet my favorite author...EVER! He came to a small town near us. I couldn't believe it. As he was talking, Ivee whipped out my big camera and started snapping. She caught this one and I thought, "Man...that's a pretty good shot!" 

So, yep, this is us with...

!!!!!!!!!!TED DEKKER!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Day EVER!!! In the words of my 16 year old, Brittney! 

And Ted fit right in with us. Once Ange, my friend  snapped the pic he said, "I probably look like a dork in that one!" I said, "Then you fit right in with us!" 

On to the other important stuff...

We could use great prayers here in the Foley home. Ivee has been sick since Saturday. She has severe congestion and has had fever on and off. Right now, she is in the bed sleeping. She is tired of coughing and gagging on thick saliva. The doctor and I have decided to medicate her based on chronic sinusitis. It is my belief that Ivee has this often due to all the damage her nasal and sinus passages had while we had to suction her with a catheter during chemo, when both vocal cords were not working and the left was trying to recover. Something that happened sooo long ago now, is still causing her pain and discomfort. It maybe that one day she will require adenoid or tonsil surgery or even sinus surgery. That is definitely not something we are going to pursue right now. BUT...She has her MRI next week, and we really need her well...with or without the MRI coming she needs to be healed of this. She is a sick little girl. She's been on antibiotics now for over 24 hours, and there has been little improvement,  but as many of your know, when she has congestion it is thick and her paralyzed vocal cord makes it very hard for her to clear these secretions. She's also having difficulty breathing when the secretions are covering her cords. Please, lift her up in prayer. Please, cover her MRI results in prayer. Pray for a cancer free scan...pray that the cyst/edema in her head is better...pray for the pressure on the brain stem...pray for the inflammation on her spinal cord. Pray for safe travels to Memphis and home! 

And finally...pray about still giving to my Team Ivee Give Thanks. Walk. I am so close to my goal!!! I need to reach it by November 16th. Just click HERE to give!!! Thank you SO much for your prayers!!!
