Things are improving for the Cross family.  Attached is a picture of Ronald that I took when I was visiting my sister and her family in August 2007.  They still have many challenges to over come.  Ronald's Traumatic Brain Injury is healing with time.  Krizinne's medical attention is making it possible for her to take care of her family with a lot of support from friends and family.

Thanks to all who help the Cross family with your thoughts and prayers.  There's still a significant amount of money to be raised for the expenses related with Krizinne's heart transplant.  Thanks to all of you who are able to help with the fundraising efforts.

Just as we arrived to the track, my cell phone vibrated and I checked to see that I had a voice message.  It was from Amy Cross, my sister.  Her tone was urgent.  She left the message that she and Jared were taking Krizinne to a hospital because Kriz had collapsed on her way home from her time in hospitals in Denver.  I think Amy mentioned thunderstorms.  I know that Amy asked me to get the prayer chain going.  I called our parents and siblings.  The phone calls were made beyond that to other family members.  Amy had said that I shouldn't call her back because she was using a doctor's cell phone.

A year ago, I didn't have a very good time at the races.  I couldn't focus on the races.  Today I don't even recall if I made bets.  I was doing my best to pray and listen to others.  I let others know what the concern was and they expressed their concern.  I found it frustrating not knowing and realizing that Kriz's life was in great danger.

This year, I was able to make bets on each race.  I only won $3.80 cents and spent $20 on bets.  I'm glad I was able to bet this year even though I did lose.  I'm also glad to know that a year after that night of not knowing what Kriz's future might hold, I have great hope for Kriz's future.

Krizinne is blessed with an army of friends of family who are working hard to raise the money needed for her transplant when the time comes.  We have made great progress in raising money and we have a long way to go.  She is blessed by doctors and other medical professionals with the gifts and talents to monitor and provide medical treatment for her condition.  She is blessed with the scientific advances that mean she has great chance for a long and healthy life.  We are blessed to have this opportunity to know Kriz and her family and her friends.  

I'm looking forward to visiting Kriz and her family while my friends and I come to Dubois for the NOD fundraiser.  What a difference a year makes! ]]> Thu, 2 Aug 2007 17:12:06 auntD
