This baby needs a miracle

18 years ago

I know we've had a number of requests for prayers and good thoughts lately, and I hope there are still a few left.

My neighbor and good friend Holly has a beautiful two year old grand-daughter, Olivia. They found a tumor on Olivia's spine a few weeks ago and performed surgery last week to remove it. The good news is that the tumor was benign.

Unfortunately, the tumor was larger than they thought and although I am not clear on the details, a week after surgery she still has no feeling in her legs and the doctors don't think this precious little girl will ever walk.

I don't know if our prayers will do any good, but I figure if anything can bring on a miracle, the power of this group can do it.

So please add Olivia to your prayers. This baby needs a miracle. God, I hope she gets one. If it is not to be I know we have to trust that there is a greater plan, but it's so hard when it happens to a two year old.

Thanks, my friends...

Done, Linda. Olivia is and will continue to be in my prayers. Little ones are amazingly resilient, she may surprise everyone.

In the meantime, is someone here to take my hand and surround Olivia with healing thoughts and prayers?

Miracle Gro organic potting soil -- needs fertilizer?

Very interesting, I have had problems with Miracle-Gro seedling mix go mouldy-green on me before. I now buy other brands, and don't get the GREEN. I'm not sure of the exact "type" of Miracle-gro product I used at the time, and I can't say the green was detrimental to my seeds....but it kinda grossed me out! good luck and good growing to you

ISO a miracle for my Miracle Fruit plant
Q
Comments (6)
Thanks for the note back scottrell. I think I'll go with your advice. Purchased my MF plant maybe 2 years ago at Jene's Tropicals and it has always been very healthy. Produced about 30 fruit this past year and I've always babied it. Doesn't look as though there is any infestation and I am always certain to make sure the soil is acidic. There was even new green growth about a month ago.... Tomorrow I think what I'll do is empty it from it's pot, disinfect the clay pot and repot the whole plant into the same pot. Do you think I should remove any dead or dying leaves? I really don't want this little guy to go through any additional stress. Another thought I had, that I read somewhere, was to enclose the whole plant and pot into a plastic garbage bag with a bowl of water underneath, cut a few holes and let the humidity take over in a shady outdoor spot. Any thoughts on that approach? Again, thanks for the note back, Sue

As you don't seem to have been rushed with answers, I'll put in my 2cents as I do grow one. Assuming we are talking about Synsepalum dulcificum, I've not actually read that about chlorine insensitivity. I know they like partial shade and a lowish PH (I'm near Brisbane, sub-tropical Australia). If mine isn't getting rained on then I use town water, which coming from a treatment plant, probably has all sorts of stuff in it including fluoride and probably chlorine. However if you are concerned about build-up of toxins, Chlorine can be removed from tap water by adding the same product that is used for water replacement in fish aquariums (a few drops per bucket), or simply by leaving a bucket of water sit in sunlight for a day, which will also destroy the chlorine. You might otherwise, harvest rainwater and store it. I should imagine bottled water would be an expensive alternative but if that is what you prefer then no, I should think a good brand would be 100% pure

Need advice on sealing grout with Miracle 511 spray on sealer!
Q

Return that stuff pronto and get one of the liquid applicator bottles and a pint of the sealer. It's much easier to get the sealer where you want it and keep it off of the stuff that doesn't need to be sealed. Plus, you won't be breathing any of the sealer and end up in the hospital.

Yeah, what do doctors know? There's so much progress being made in the medical field there's no telling what they might come up with to help this little girl walk again, and her parents and her spirit will be the best medicine.

I'm grabbing Nancy's hand, and reaching with my other hand to....

Got your hand Nan.

"the doctors don't think this precious little girl will ever walk." We can also pray that soon there will be the technology/medical advancements to help Olivia walk. I'm sure there will be many miracles in her life.

Me, Me , Me! My 3 year-old great niece is living proof of miracles. She was not supposed to live or see or breathe on her own, etc. She is now a perfect and perfectly normal 3 yr old. I think God has a real soft spot for our little ones. Prayers and best wishes for Olivia!
