I know many of you have been wondering how Mackenzie is doing today.

She still has a very intense headache, dizziness, and nausea when upright. Dr. Henderson saw her this morning and ordered a CT of her lower back to rule out a spinal fluid leak. The CT thankfully was clear.

He then ordered a new MRI of her brain, which was completed this evening. He will look at the films first thing in the morning and we will see him early.

Please pray for her headache to subside and for wisdom regarding the next step. With the pain she has right now, flying home is not an option. She needs something to alleviate this pain.

Thank you all for praying and keeping up with Mackenzie's progress.

Praying with you,

Mitchell, Lisa, & Mackenzie

By His Grace said...: Lisa, thank you so much for these updates. I have been praying and wondering day in and day out for MacKenzie...then my poor addled brain remembered the blog! I'm sorry I had forgotten about it but so glad I remembered because now I have some idea of how things are going. Not well, in terms of the headaches, it seems. I am praying God will take away these headaches. WE have all prayed for God's guidance and hands in all that is done during this treatment for MackKenzie and so it is hard to accept it when "things" happen...you all know that so well after being all prepped for surgery in April and then it being cancelled!!! So, our mighty creator does have a plan, and perhaps these HAs are what are keeping MacKenzie and all of you right where you need to be right now. I don't know, but I do know that He is in control and He has a plan!!

Dear Lord, be with the Mathis family, take away this dear girl's pain, give her wellness and rest, and help them to get home soon to their other children. Thank You for all You have done, what You are doing and what You will do!
In Jesus' Name, AMEN!!

love you all, and pls tell MacKenzie I said hi. I think it's a good thing to drink lots of water, especially if she lost a lot of CSF. ?

Lisa C said...: Lisa,

Yesterday, Mary and I were telling some young friends about Mackenzie. They were amazed and will be praying for her, but there were tears in their eyes and nodding of heads in understanding as I told them," I read all Mackenzie's entries in her blog. As I read it became very clear that as her suffering grew so did her faith." I was struck by how these young folks instantly wanted to help her by prayer and were "proud" of someone their age who is steeped in Truth.

You have done well with this child....

Please tell her we have the west coast on prayer alert for all of you.

Hugs and Blessings, Lisa; July 3, 2009 at 1:57 PM

Nehemiah 8:10~
Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Jeremiah 29:11~
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Job 1:21-22~
At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."

Jeremiah 31:13~

Isaiah 43:2 & 10~
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me.

Hebrews 12:2-3~
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Hebrews 10:23~
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Philipians 2:13~For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.

Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order. ~Samuel Beckett

I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living.... In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. ~Martha Graham

Next time you're mad, try dancing out your anger. ~Sweetpea Tyler

The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing... there are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words. There are movements which impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is incomparable, for movement has power to stir the senses and emotions, unique in itself. This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art.~ Doris Humphrey

We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.

My feet shall run because of You, My feet, dance because of You, My heart shall beat because of You, My eyes, see because of You, My mind, thinks because of You, And I shall love because of You.

We sing in a church, why can we not dance there? ~George Bernard Shaw

Dance isn't a form it's a way of life.

Someone once said that dancers work just as hard as policeman, always alert, always tense. But i dont agree with that because policeman don't have to look beautiful at the same time. ~George Balanchine

Dance is not technique but expression that comes more closely to the inner language of man than any other. ~George Borodin

If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it. ~Isadora Duncan

Wherever a dancer stands is holy ground. ~Martha Graham

Dance is bigger than the physical body. Think bigger than that. When you extend your arm, it doesn't stop at the end of your fingers, because you're dancing bigger than that: your dancing spirit. ~Judith Jamison

Dancing is like bank robbery, it takes split second timing. ~Twyla Tharp

You can dance anywhere, even if only in your heart.

Dance is a delicate balance between perfection and beauty.
