Julie got the call

Julie got the call she had been waiting for, her lungs were waiting for her. The double lung transplant was successful on Dec 17th, how ever they were worried about fluid retention, as of this moring, the 18th , another proceedure was being preformed to stop the bleeding, she was given 100 units of blood and still bleeding. She is on a lung/Heart bypass machine as of now.
I spoke to Julie last Monday, she was having a tough time, the waiting was extremly stressful. But even in her stress she took time out to talk with me, she is the sweetheart I knew in my heart that she is.
Julie left me a heart warming message Thursday on the answering machine about a little gift I had sent her, Julie is an extraordainry girl and we love her dearly. Please keep Julie in your thoughts, heart and prayers that she will come out of this operation and live the fullest life that she so much deserves.

"Somewhere over the rain bow, skys are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true!

Julie, I'm praying that all your dreams come true, I love You!


It seems that for every thing that happens, I have a story behind it to tell.

Here is another one of my stories that makes me feel confident that Julie will be OK!!

My mama and I used to always discuss everything together, we were extremly close and we talked about the one day that she would die. I know sounds like an awful story but it's not, it's amazing to me how things happen and when and why, so Please take the time to read on.
We talked about how, if you want me to have flowers, pick some out of the garden today and give them to me with all your love, don't wait until I die and spend a bundle on flowers I may not be able to enjoy.
Mama always told me that if she could come back to see me , she would, she said, if yousee something odd or feel a touch or the air smells differently for a moment, don't be afraid, It's just me coming to say hello to my little girl.
Mama said that she would watch over me and help God and talk with God to make all my dreams come true.. She used to said, if you need something really bad and your prayers don't seem to get answered, talk to me and tell me and I'll go talk to God myself and Ask him to please give you what you want or need.
Well through the past 16 years many odd , and unexplained things have happened and my dreams did all come true. I have been so blessed in everything that that happens to me.

Well I told you I spoke to Julie Monday and then she left me a message on Thursday, well on Friday night my daughters boyfriend 's truck broke down, my husband drove 3 hrs there and 3 hrs back to go help him. It was 1am and I went to laydown for a few minutes while waiting for Bill to get home, The house was quite and the perfect time to say my prayers, I asked God to protect Bill and Alex on the road and get them home safe and I asked God as I have been doing everynight to protect Julie and send her ,her new lungs real soon. I then did what I always do, I spoke to my mama, I said, Mama, You know how attached I got to the body for life program and I know you know all about Julie Whitt, Please mama, ask God to help her get her lungs and get all this stress off her and her family's minds, Julie is a wonderful young lady and she needs her prayers answered soon.

Well Saturday Dec 17th my mama died at 5pm 16 years ago, I thought of mama all day though we we driving to Jackson for a special cheerleading event for my daughter Sarah.
Their school took 4th place in the state championship .
When I got home at 11pm I got online on tracker and saw that Julie had gotten the call and was in recovery from her lung operation. Amazing. Julie got her new lungs on DEC 17th. the anniversary of mama's death.
odd, maybe, maybe not, but in my world of believing I truely believe that my mama talked to God and another prayer of mine was answered by God. With this belief I strongly believe that God is sitting right there with Julie and helping her and she will be just fine,
Julie's wish was to be home for Christmas, Julie God is there and will get you home with Matt and Christmas morning you will know that you will be on your way home and on the road to recovery.
