The Latest On Delgean, 6/3

By way of an update, I only have the following information...early this morning one of Delgean's lungs collapsed.  The doctors have her back on the ventilator and have put a feeding tube into her stomach.  John and Ra Jette, like each of you, continue to pray for Delgean's recovery.

I thought, however, it might be appropriate today to share a recent story about Delgean that I shared with the Linden Ward on Sunday.  A week or so before school got out, our daughter who is 7, came off of the school bus and into the house in tears.  Ann tried to figure out what had upset her, but to no avail.  Just behind our daughter came Delgean, who rides the same bus home as our kids.  Delgean (age 14) spent some time with our daughter trying to comfort her and make her feel loved.  She certainly was not the cause of our daughter's sadness, but worked to help heal her.  We never were able to get it out of our daughter just what the problem was.  However, Delgean was able to comfort her.  Ann and I were so grateful for Delgean's sweet and considerate spirit and for the time she took to comfort our daughter when we couldn't.  I don't know that too many 14 year olds would take the time to comfort a 7 year old when they didn't need to.  However, anyone that knows Delgean, would certainly not be surprised by her actions that day.  Typical Delgean...
