From Aunt Kim  about 12 hours from the last time I wrote to
you......Gage's fundraiser from the Futrells/Jessica/Ram
Resturant/Friends of ML and Beth/ Elliott Family went really well.  It
was scheduled to be from 2-5pm but at 340pm all the pork was
sold/gone-Bless the Lord. They are going to use this money collected
to provide for needed equipment/supplies/etc needed in Gage's care
that is not covered by insurance or other agencies. This community
really turned out, and helped.  Donations of cakes/cookies/desserts
from individuals(if I start to name them I will miss someone) and Papa
and I bought about 7-8 pieces of 14 layer choclate cake--wow.... I do
not know the exact amount dollar amount raised but thank you for your
generosity and thoughtfulness and please continue to keep Gage and his
family in your prayers......THANKS TO YOU ALL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GOD
BLESS YOU

His sister, Taylor, Ryan and Cody (his brothers) were out there in
support.  Gage was there too,,, Ryan-he is the brother who gets mad at
anyone who hurts Gage-me included-was sick last week and Nana had to
take him to the MD.  Well she asked him what was on his list for Santa
this year.  He sat there in the car, and without smile looked at her
and said "Nana, really all I want is for Gage to get better".  My mom
if you know her about broke down and needed a Valium injection.  He
never did add anything to his list.  Wow.....

I held Gage after his feeding completed today and he is such a strong
willed little boy. I know he has to get some of this from the
Elliott's side. I see Gage move his mouth and wonder what is he saying
or thinking?  What would he tell me?  Probably to chill out.  I know
that the Lord does not put any trials or tribulations in our lives
that he doesnt give us an outlet or release for---we are to LEARN
something from every event in our lives.  And as I often wonder, and
sometimes scream loudly what could this be, I know that the Lord is in
Control and I am not;  I have to have faith and trust that his will
will be done;  however, I dont understand it and am not mature enough
in the faith to accept it without some tears/yelling.  Our family is
being tested and torn, and we all have Gage's best interest at heart.
Sometimes it is so hard not to take my frustrations, anger,
bitterness, and impotency about the situation out on everyone in my
path--whether they have a degree or not.  This is my cross to bear how
irritable and aggravated I am.  I pray about this.  As the news we
receive from other MDs is not favorable the more angry I become b/c as
the health care professional why cant I do something. I am verbalizing
my failings as a Christian and ask for pray, and also pray that
whatever I do I continue to keep Gage's needs #1 and not my own. To
not think of the hurts I incur but to help Gage in all the ways I can.
That my friends is my biggest desire. People came over to see Gage
today, and I wanted them to see him and know he is real and he is
hurts and he sleeps, eats, etc.....There is a promise That "Weeping
may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."
Psalms......Isnt that wonderful,,,,,,,

From Aunt Kim who has a cold and is whiny.....you see I am a BAD
patient myself. I do not like to be sick but that is neither here nor
there. So to dispel the rumors I Do not have H1N1, I do no have the
seasonal flu-i just have an aggravating cough that wakes me up at 1am
and will not let me go back to sleep so might as well get up and do
something. I will be dead by lunch but whatever. I got this stuff from
the kids in the schools I am seeing to prevent THEIR getting sick so
all is well.    Now onto Gage...He has an appt today in greenville
that Papa is taking him to with Beth and Papa had no clue what it was.
I was rather rude and short due to my lack of sleep yesterday
afternoon with Papa and I will pay for that but I will let you know
about that. Friday, Meme, and I take Gage to Duke to a new MD who will
let us know Developmental about milestones he may meet or not,
equipment we may benefit from---purchase if we have the
money/funds/etc/insurance
coverage whatever. For instance while we were at Duke Beth informed me
we were approved for a long applied for piece of equipment thru CDSA
however that gov agency has no money.....WHAT??? So we dont get it.
This is what we deal with.  I work in this system and I am frustrated.
Everything has to be reported as income so we will deal with this and
discuss this on Friday, but it will work out.  So this will be
interesting. I am very interested to see this MD.  Mr Buddy Futrell
and his wife and Tiffany at the Ram in Plymouth, NC are hosting a
Benefit for Gage on Saturday Pig Plate----which multiple donations of
food/desserts-Beverly Furlough's church, Debra Avery, and Aunt Natalie
Elliott Family of course have kicked in to help both physically and
with food with the event.  We are humbled by Mr Buddy and his wife and
all involved and appreciative beyond belief in the outpouring of
generosity and love shown to the Elliott Family.  You know we have
lived
here all our lives and see these people daily in passing, and it is
humbling to say the least.  So if I see you and cannot say a word do
not think It is b/c I do not care it is because words cannot express
the depth of my emotions. All I can do is pass it on when I am able to
someone else in need without questions.  People ask me all the time
how do we do it and I think now that some days the world pushes me
back two steps back, but the Lord pushes me forward one step and then
vice versa.  Some days the Lord carries me forward 2-3 steps forward
when I cant walk, and dusts me off and says OK lets go again...I think
that's when people like the Futrells and Tiffany and I know My Aunt
Natalie is there. She is ALWAYS there to dust us off and say lets
go......but then again I am her favorite niece. Thank you all and God
Bless. Our Family has been blessed with Gage he is a special Little
Sugar Plum. Please Wash Your Hands Alot and Get Flu Shot.........Going
For cough Drop....I hate to be sick.....still going work....this makes
me aggravated to be sick...Aunt Kim
