windy, dusty day at the dunes!! Ended with having to say goodbyes and leaving early to get to the ER in Phoenix …. Poor Kika wrecked on a quad. But, I love my kids’ attitudes, as long as we are doing stuff,

Lots of silliness coming out of sedation! I got about 20 minutes of her talking about pink waves, butterflies, birds, tall trees, Batman, Barbie, Charlotte and even the CEO of our company 
hmmm… and maybe the boy she likes
She’s doing wonderful, so grateful for the doctors and nurses and other medical staff, all were so quick to get her in and taken care of 
they had lots of concerns and moved quickly. I thought we’d be in the waiting room for hours and hours. Very impressed with Banner Desert Cardon Hospital on Dobson, fabulous staff! So glad we made the four hour drive straight there from the dunes. Tough amazing girl Kika!!

Such a wonderful beautiful surprise when we got home tonight… 
I was just getting Kalicias’s arm all bagged up to help her go take a shower and get to bed. And a fun surprise arrived at the door from her dear sweet friends. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for loving my daughter. She’s not the only one grateful for your sweet friendships.

For some reason, God’s plan, our family has been born with genetic disease 
Scientifically we still don’t know why, our family is still under lots of studies in Boston, Tgen etc…. It doesn’t make any sense, and with all apologies from doctors and scientists, the medical world has pretty much given up… it’s been 18 years of studies and still continuing our children should not have lived to puberty, they should still be in wheelchairs, stuck in gait trainers… We went on a journey because we got desperate we needed to get rid of their oxidative stress, clean toxins out of cells, work around a deformed brain 
build mitochondria because theirs’ was disfunctioned. We had to make function and life out of all this disfunction. I didn’t know how I was going to push a 3rd wheelchair. Our kids are not completely healed, but their bodies are activated, they are upright, life is not easy but our family is living
…we are now working with a lot of those same doctors, leaders and scientists. We get to help others and still seeking further knowledge together and living the best life we can!! So grateful 
(My kids hiked this crater with crutches, not easy, in Hawaii because they are activated ) And we are on some new breakthrough products that a company hasn’t released yet, the outcomes are incredible! If you are interested in activating your body and educating yourself please reach out 
join us in our tour or if that’s too much I can get on the phone the old fashioned way or go to lunch. #lovepeople #shareyourpassion #livelifeactivated #cerebralpalsyhacked #geneticdisease #liveyourbestlife #lifesnoteasy

Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” …”When we are able to serve, serve. God gave us these talents, trials, knowledge, earthly blessings to bring his children closer to him. Charity is LOVE and it never fails! “Love one another as I have loved you” Christ gave all to us and God gave all to us. No greater accomplishment can be than to serve our fellow beings, and he will work through us in abundance.”-Kalicia what a great weekend of building and belief! I love what my daughter had to share when I asked what stood out to her this weekend. (And she was so tough, not giving up, her poor arm. Can’t wait to get to orthopedic specialist on Monday to get her in a cast

Quite an adventurous couple days up early behind the snow plows to her surgery. Kalicia was tough and a rockstar! Now she’s sound asleep barely getting home. so glad we made it safely thought we were going to be stuck in Flagstaff for another day. The doctors, nurses and medical staff were incredible and kind. She ended up having to get a plate and screws on her wrist. Plan is to get them out within the next 6 to 9 months we don’t want anything extra in the body that doesn’t need to be there. #livelifeactivated #madnesswiththemerrillbudz #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #everyonehappierandhealthier #prayersforquickhealing #stuffhappenswhenyoudostuff #rockstar

“Did you know….An oyster that has not been wounded in any way does not produce pearls?
A pearl is a healed wound.
Pearls are a product of pain, the result of a foreign or unwanted substance entering the oyster, such as a parasite or a grain of sand.
The inside of an oyster shell is a shiny substance called “nacre.”
The more pearls, the more valuable…
God never allows pain without a purpose.
What if your greatest ministry to others comes out of your greatest hurt ?
The hard things we may be going through now are really nothing in comparison to the glory that will be revealed in us later. (Romans 8:17-18)”

It’s an exciting day when your little guy realizes all that reading and writing that we have been trying to teach him and making him do for a long time, can really be used as a tool!! He can get things done that he wants with it!! 
I was dying laughing when he was setting rules and planning parties almost a year ahead!! He hung the notes on our front and back door and around our house. So if you see the invite when you come over, you’re invited.
I know my girls teenager friends have all seen it and they’re planning to come fly paper airplanes with him!

Oh my goodness!!! I made it home, kept my promise, just in time to doll her up and Kalicia’s off to Winter Formal What an extremely blessed day!
What an extremely blessed day! My daughter, Charlotte and I, got to be in Glendale and be part of incredible seminar with Pastor Juyi and her husband Pastor Ezekiel this morning. Wow!! I loved his words as we closed out, “you can’t serve and love others if we are not well. It’s important to keep our body and soul healthy.” Maria shared her powerful story of overcoming. Dr. Amy gave a great presentation on how to combat inflammation/oxidative stress and get to the root cause. I got to work with mothers of children with Autism and with and without disabilities. Charlotte continued to bring awareness to disabilities and diseases as she spoke, helping us to understand we can get our bodies to work at their best and activate them! 
Thank you leaders, doctors and Pastors. Beautiful day

After lots of years of Harrison watching his big brothers and big sisters getting to go to the Temple and patiently waiting in the waiting room at times… He finally got to go! Harrison said being in the Temple made him feel good and awesome! He’s growing up! And getting more responsibilities.
