Monday is Sara's Birthday

Hey guys. Well when we came in to the ER last Sunday, we had every intention of being out there that night. Maybe overnight till Monday. Never did we think we'd be in here a week. Sara kept asking if she'd be out for her birthday. Well it's official, she'll be in here and/or on our way up to Mayo. So, if you'd like to send her some birthday wishes, please write them here.

She's loved all the prayers and comments from you all the past week. Keep 'em coming. Let us know what's going on with you so she can keep up on how her friends are doing too.

  1. Here's hoping Sara's 2011 birthday will bring a far more peaceful scenario than this one. You guys are both doing a great job of hanging in there with all of what's happened, and we will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers, as I am sure will the rest of your "HEVV" extended family. We love you both - heal quickly, Sara! The Hollands

  3. Sara & Tim - my thoughts and prayers are with you during my waking hours. Unfortuantely I can't take a car trip or I would come visit before you leave for Mayo. However, when you come back we'll have time to catch up with a nice visit. Can't wait to see you then. Love, Grandma Bonnie V.

  4. Sara and Tim! I've just recently gotten caught up on the blog. Anyway. I hope things continue to go as well as they can. I'm sending all my love, and as many cyber-hugs as possible...if that even makes any sense? Hee hee.
    Love love love,
    Lauren (like, your cousin :D)

  6. Happy Birthday Sara! I know this can't be easy but knowing your faith in God i have confidence you're walking this road with the greatest faith that he's holding your hand!

    Hope the trip to MN was alright. Mayo is the bomb so I pray they'll get you diagnosed and fixed asap so IL can have you back!

    Love you guys,
    the Berry's

  7. Happy early birthday!!!! How weird would it be if both birthday girls ended up in the hospital on their birthdays?!?!?!? I feel a lot of moment right now and could see tomorrow/tonight being the start of something.

    You continue to be in our prayers!!!

    Love,

  8. Happy Birthday Sara!
    From around the world. We'd call you to be the first ones to talk to you on your birthday, but it's probably better that you're sleeping at midnight. ;-) We're praying you guys safe travel and quick adjustment to the new setting. We love you both very much. Keep trusting.
    Love,
    Rick, Steph, & Micah

  10. Sara,
    Happy Birthday! Here's hoping you had a safe and uneventful trip up to Mayo today. I'm praying that God will be really, really close for you guys during this journey. Please call or email if we can help you out in any way.

    Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and lean not on your own understanding;
    in all your ways acknowledge him
    and he will make your paths straight.
    Prov 3:5-6

    God speed,
    Jim

  12. Happy Birthday Sara!
    I was hoping to visit today (we were out of town over the weekend) but I know that you moving to Mayo Clinic in Rochester. That is crazy the # of needles you have had to deal with. I am sure God is giving you His strength for each one you have had to endure. We will continue to pray for you! Love ya,

  13. Happy Birthday, Sara! We're praying for you and for complete healing. May God sustain you and give you his peace, which is beyond our understanding. What is the latest diagnosis for you? I saw Tim at church yesterday.

    Take care, call or email if you need anything at all. With God...ALL things are possible.

    In His love,
    Bo

  17. Hey sara, happy belated birthday!

    I was listening to NPR a few days ago and a guy was being interviewed...his favorite food is mayonnaise. He's addicted to it, to the point that it was becoming a huge problem. His doctor threatened to send him to the Mayo clinic.

    It's lame, but it was sort of funny when he said it. Keep on partying with the pillows!
