MOMMA black bear and her three (yep, THREE cubs) came to visit at Mom's house in Scandia, Pennsylvania this afternoon. My brother Kirk said Smiley, mom's little mutt dog was out on the deck when all of the sudden he was barking and snarling and charged off the deck. Kirk came out it time to see momma bear treeing her cubs and then she turned, stood up facing Smiley and was growling. Kirk was out on the deck screaming for Smiley to come back to the house because that bear would kill him with one good swipe of her paws (the cubs in the picture are just a little bigger than Smiley) and he finally did come back t the house unharmed. Kirk said they went back into the house and momma got her cubs out of the tree and they eventually wandered off into the woods.
EMMY is my brother Kirk's 10 year old granddaughter and today she has a new heart. She was born with a defective heart and already had one transplant and was doing well until she got sick this Fall and her heart became infected. After a couple of months in and out of the hospital and one death experience (when Emmy did meet God) her heart deteriorated to the point she was in the hospital waiting for a new heart. My sister in law, Janice, called Thursday afternoon. She was crying and I feared the worst but she told me they were on the way to Dallas (from Abilene) and that Emmy was getting a new heart!
Kirk just called me at 0630ET. Emmy has her new heart and it is beating on it's own and she is doing well, though still sedated. The surgery took 9 1/2 hours, but the doctors a very optimistic she is going to be OK. THANK YOU GOD!!!!
And thank you God for the family that made the decision to donate their child's heart. Something horrible has happened in the life of another family and they have lost a child, but they made the decision to give life to another by donating their child's heart to someone who needs it. Please God, be with this family and comfort them, and let them know how thankful we are to them.
PLEASE, IF YOU ARE NOT AN ORGAN DONOR BECOME ONE TODAY. MAKE SURE YOUR FAMILY KNOWS YOU ARE AN ORGAN DONOR TOO. DON'T TAKE YOUR ORGANS TO HEAVEN BECAUSE HEAVEN KNOWS WE NEED THEM HERE!!!!
