Addie Update: (play the theme of Star Wars right now in your head)

A long time ago in a NICU far,
far away . . .


Addie
Wars


Jedi Addie squared her injured shoulder to once again meet

her formidable foe:  Darth Ventilator.

“Hwee, hwoo . . . hwee, hwoo,” he breathed.

“Addie--join the force of the dark lung!”

“Never!” Addie cried. 

Over one week, she took deep breaths with her pink lungs and ousted Darth

Ventilator’s power over her, moving from C-pap to High-flow

to nasal cannula, proving that this jedi is ready to head for her

home planet as soon as possible.

The Emperor Electric, however, still works in secret behind the

scenes to keep her in the NICU. Flashing Addie with pulses, he

tries to keep her seizures active, unmanageable, and back

under Darth Ventilator’s and Darth Medication’s evil clutches.

While Emperor Electric continues to hide in the shadows, 

his evil power will soon come to an end under the influence

of Jedi Addie’s Heavenly Father.

Another space journey looms for Jedi Addie & her family.  Her

past battles with Stormtrooper Hydrops caused intense

damage to her ears, and her hearing is severely to

profoundly impaired. Her home planet is now on a mission

to learn new skills in sign language to ensure they can

translate English for her and to ensure

she feels welcome when she arrives.

The battle continues . . . but Jedi Addie will win the war in 

large part to the power of the true force--the answered

prayers of her family, friends, and neighbors supporting

herself and her home planet. 

Till next time . . .

May the Spirit of God be with you . . . .
