Prayers for Addy

Addy is sick. She and her family went on a trip with Make-A-Wish and as their last post said her parents took her to a hospital in Orlando,FL. They intubated her and they flew her out on the 30th and they want to take her to Wisconsin to see her specialist. Please pray for her, she is really sick and needs all the support she can get. Pray for the doctors to have wisdom in everything they do to Addy. Thanks.

God willing we are runnin'

Ayanna, Jake and I have been training (stopping every other house to complain about a side stich or being thirsty) for the GSF half marathon in November. It is hard really hard but we are getting to the point that i think we can do this. When we run we get our GSF gear on and then we run like the wind (a slow tired wind). the first day that we ran we turned the corner to get onto the next street and we met up with another jogger. I turned and yelled to Jake to hurry up I know real encouraging, he caught up and we started off again. The lady smiled at us and told us that we were doing great. I was so tired and I think Ayanna  said Thanks. She smiled at us again and said "Never Give Up" magic words!
When I run I get worn out and its hard to think . I  used to get frustrated with my siblings and yell at them (more than I did with Jake), but now when I run all I see is all the kids with SMA like their on a slide show in my head. I ask myself over and over again "who am i runnin for?" "what am i runnin for?" It pumps me up and get a sudden burst of energy. I am so excited to run with all the other GSF runners why can't time go faster i wish it was November!
Another way we get our blood going is to watch the never give up movie i've posted it before but i will post it again...

Please continue to pray for all the kids with  this disease, for everyone running and for a cure.
With love,
Danika

Angel Families

Angle Milania is a beautiful little girl. I never read her blog or watched her movies until now and its to late for the full impact of her personality to make an imprint on my life. This doesn't mean that my heart doesn't hurt for her family because it does.  This doesn't mean that i didn't cry when i came to the part that told my she had earned her angle wings because i did. This is a different feeling and i can't explain it. This a reminder to me that there are thousands of angle families out there. Who when they walk into their SMA child's room they  break down and cry for them to return but they can't. They are in the arms of our heavenly father who loves them just as much as their earthly families did and do love them. I don't know if this made sense to anyone else but me. It just kinda came out of my heart hopefully it made sense to you like it made sense to me.
Love,
Danika

Encouragement

Cheyenne is an amazing girl at my school. She has been there for me all the times I cried,laughed,or just needed someone to listen to me. Everyone who knows her knows the joy that she spreads. On August 17th she was there the most for me. This was one day after Skylar died. Today I gave her three papers full of kids with SMA she understands the pain that this brings on those who experience it. She laughs with me when I copy Lucy and say"but why?" She is a huge blessing to me. So Cheyenne, thanks for being the one to hug me when I cry. Smile at me when I talk to the class about Skylar. And chase me around the locker room with hairspray or scream when your legs don't tan right. Thank you for being there for me.
I love you cuddle and fishy buddie.
Love,
Danika
