a visit from a friend

Hollyn came to see us today.  She gave Dylan a glimpse into his future.  Almost 3 years ago, she went through the same surgery that Dylan faces on Tuesday.  She showed Dylan her short leg, and her prosthetic.  His eyes widened when he saw her leg was like his.

We met Hollyn’s family soon after we moved here.  We were amazed that God would provide this family for us!  Plus, her older sister and Abbey are great friends.  Sandi told us that Hollyn was very excited to have a playmate to have hopping races with.  So…

She kicked off her leg, and they hopped!

We leave tomorrow morning for Shriners.  I’ll be updating the blog while we’re there.  Lots of emotions right now…but, I’m trusting that God will hold Dylan and the rest of us closely during this time!

    What a cute three-some in the top photo!! We love the picture of Hollyn and Dylan hopping!! They found out they have something special…their legs + their names.

    Will post on my Facebook page that the time is here for prayers for our little Dylan. He is in God’s hands along with the rest of you…and everything will go smoothly and what a relief we’ll all feel then!! ~<3~ ~<3~ ~<3~ ~<3~

    PS I meant to say that they both have a “y” in their names~

    Hollyn is so beautiful and she was so willing to help Dylan in seeing her new leg and how she put it on and off and could walk with it. They did enjoy the hopping. Hollyn has so much strength in her real leg and can go anywhere. Dylan wanted to keep right up with her. Of course, Lainey was right there watching (and learning) with Dylan.

    I just than God that this family was here for Randy and Donna. God ALWAYS has a plan.
