Shannon, Chloe, and I headed to Greenville Monday. Chloe played for 3 hours at Monkey Joe's and had a blast! Later, there was some shopping & dinner, but nothing was the same after we learned of the ordeal a little girl was going through. We met a mother and her little girl at Monkey Joe's - the little girl's name was Kendell. During small talk, we learned that Kendell was due to have surgery the very next morning due to a large sized hole in her heart. I immediately began thinking of some of the problems that family members have had with heart conditions. During the night, she has to be hooked to a machine because her heart stops beating during her sleep. The machine gives her heart a jolt when this occurs during the night. The mother said that it happens every night.
This precious little girl (4 y/o) never stopped smiling as she was playing. She was full of life and joy! She helped to remind me of happiness, the importance of little things in life, and how truly blessed I am. We take so much forgranted, but this was God's way of reminding me of these things and to remember to pray for all in need. You truly never know what others are facing and dealing with... Shannon plans on calling the hospital within the next few days to check on little Kendell. In the meantime, please join us in praying for this child and her family. :)
