She had a life threatening reaction to the DPaT vaccine when she was 4 mos old. Her prognosis was that she was not going to live through the life-threatening seziures that she was having but she did and she is recovering. We are not anti-vaccine, we are for safer vaccines. Abigailes vaccine injury was in 2004, we won in Federal court March 2008. We give glory to God for His faithfulness.The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.comBlogger23125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-8037036891680464832012-04-11T04:06:00.002-05:002012-04-11T04:10:59.281-05:00We are here, way out WestI finally got in...

In mans definition she is "Joy" she lives true to her name..<br /> God is working so HUGE in our lives! I have so much to update and so little time right now. I have a new blog site and am trying to transition. Apparently, this blog site which is blogger won't accept my gmail address to change addresses. I would like to add it to my other blogs, I have one for our family, and others for the home business that God has blessed us with. It won't accept my gmail though even though the others did. If anyone can clarify this for me and how to fix it please email me! I am so frustrated with it. I really want to keep this blog as this blog is the infirmity that leads to the healing in so many ways. <br /> God bless you supernaturally for all those who are praying for us. We finally found a church home, bless the Lord for that we have been at conferences all week! It is so awesome, was time to do some "soaking up of the Holy Spirit". <br /> I will update more this weekend, we also have a caringbridge site that I will update as well. <br />The blessings of God we love you, thank you for praying for us .... <br /><br />in His service,<br />ParisThe Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-64782952293859737272010-05-15T21:14:00.001-05:002010-05-15T21:16:41.444-05:00Time to let go of the past, move on to the new season!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/S-9VfTWvDPI/AAAAAAAAADw/FM9zwARvWE0/s1600/PICT0888.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/S-9VfTWvDPI/AAAAAAAAADw/FM9zwARvWE0/s320/PICT0888.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471686068538379506" /></a>The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-38262287911810866132010-05-15T21:10:00.002-05:002010-05-15T21:14:40.077-05:00The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.Time to update everyone, well as much as possible as to where things are with our Abigaile and family. Let me first say that God is God and that is where we stand! <br /><br /> We believe that with every ounce we have in us, our entire family that Abigaile is healed. We have been standing on Isaiah 53:5 that says Jesus took those infirmities no matter what they are called, what the reports say and no matter who has given with what kind of education we believe she is healed! <br /><br /> We had an appointment with the real- Dr. who has been treating Abigaile since day 1. We had labs drawn, went to Florida to visit the man who has actually been praying for her and has been the only one who has treated anything to do with her care now. He has been such a blessing to our family I hope that Dr. J. knows this! We got some news while in Florida that some of the labs was showing not such a good level for Abigailes thyroid. In fact, it was failing. We came back home and have started her on thyroid medications. So far she has only been able to tolerate 1/2 the dose that she has ordered. As soon as she can tolerate this, it will be time for labs again we are getting close. <br /><br /> Abigaile has had treatment before with HBOT and combined with her therapies she really made strides. We have prayed about it and I can't tell you how chaotic it is to have a child with the needs that she does and she has improved, it is just mom is getting tired from no breaks. <br />We have discussed the type of care, and following from a credible Dr such as Dr J who is knowledgable in treating kiddos with these types of issues and feel that it is necessary to do what we have to do to move to the S. Cal. area to get full-time treatment for her. <br /> We have been hesitant to move in the past because of the job, but feel that if any parent were faced with this decision they wouldn't hesitate. We have dealt with Dr.s and therapists who didn't know how to treat Abigaile. We aren't getting the necessary equipment for her needs. We flat out are isolated where we are at and wish to be a part of others who are making a difference and ministering to these families and children. We don't have any tentative dates for moving yet. What we are doing is looking for a home to rent in the Irivine Ca. area or close by, and if need be, the girls and I will move and Allen can visit until the job spot opens for him. We are blessed by God and believe that He will provide all our needs according to His riches in glory. Phil. 4:19. So we are cleaning out, packing and believing God to show us big things in our present and future. He is no respector of persons. <br /><br /> We all feel peace with this decision. It is a big decision and it is a little intimidating but we will be okay. We have been in the desert before, and I'm sure it will happen again. Do you ever think that is God saying... Hello, uh you, yeah you, Are you listening? I'm trying to send you like Jonah, and you missed the boat! I have told God many times over, here I am send me, so I have to believe He is sending me. <br /><br /> I am still going to do Abigailes Foundation here in NW Arkansas for the equipment ministry, I am working on getting someone in place to help. Allen will do so until he moves with us. We don't know yet if this is a permanent move but feel it is the right direction for now to go. <br /><br /> Prayer requests: God and only God, absolutely God, nothing but God in our decisions, in our actions, in our will! Pray for Abigailes body that the thyroid and any other functions of her body that need to straighten up and work as God has designed them to work! God created her in His image, so everything she has, is in the image of God (He is perfect) her organs, functions, everything in her body will function as He designed it to do. Gen. 1:27. I'll end with saying I love God more than ever He is always there for me even when I have not understood His ways. I will ask for prayer like Solomon, and ask God for His Wisdom, Peace, and Strength. <br />James 1:5-6 NIV5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.<br /><br /> I am not doubting, are you ? Thank you for your prayers as always and words of encouragement from my fellow caringbridge peeps, love you all,<br />ParisThe Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-90882583515974987592010-04-06T15:00:00.001-05:002010-04-06T17:11:04.759-05:00Easter and a new season...Praying for direction... Having Faith.. Believing that you will only get the direction from God for you and for your family. That is where we are at. I know that God has His best interest, and our best interest at heart. We are His kids He knows what is best. We know that after all we have gone through in seven years that we didn't always understand we didn't always feel like we agreed with has turned out the best for us. There are still some things that we area seeking His wisdom on, always. <br /> Our trip to Florida was a good trip. It was nice just to drive, be in the car as a family. Talk about things we don't normally get to talk about. We were able to share dreams with each other of what we have been thinking for the past seven years, but haven't got to always say to each other. It is a crazy life when you have a child that has so many needs. We are truly blessed to have each other and be able to share with each other what is on our hearts. We also know that we all have the same desire, the same love for God to do passionately what He wants for us. So, God what we have said over and over, "here we are, send us!<br /> Abigailes visit with Dr. J. went well. He is truly a kind and understanding physician as well as a understanding parent. It is easy to relay to him that we aren't all crazy. We have had some pretty extensive, complex issues that we have been dealing with. We have always had God, not that we haven't made some wrong turns, we have but we ask for God guidance and people to pray for us. We had labs done before we left so that Dr. J. would have them when we got there. They apparently didn't run all the labs, or didn't get all the lab results back but we did get some thyroid results back that are going to be rerun. Once we get those results then we will go from there. <br /> We are also trying a new therapy for Abigaile for her seizures (the ones that we were told are rare and likely untreatable) well she hasn't had a seizure until we don't give her this one ingredient and it is a food. Amazing! We are doing some more extensive study on it but so far we have been doing this for over a week now and I believe the power of food and God but this cracks me up! I'll share more later on it. <br /> We just have so many changes going on in our lives right now, exciting God movement, only things that God can bring to pass but I will need to do another post for that. Please check our family blog out for that as well. A great way to share how our trip ended in Florida was just beautiful I hope to post some pictures later. Please don't laugh at the bright legs though. You can tell we are still winterized, ha ha we got a little bit of sun but were sunburn phobic when we went and it was cold for the first several days we were in Jacksonville. We had to go to Orlando, and a day or two before we left it actually started warming up. I pray that you are blessed and I thank you for your prayers they mean a lot to our family. Keep on, keeping on for God, He is always good all the time and will never let you down!The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-65054825886470868232010-01-19T12:55:00.000-06:002010-01-19T13:57:02.415-06:00Believing God for big things, drawing nearer to HIMI love fasting, well I don't initially because my flesh says I'm really hungry... but after about the 3rd day I am doing better and I litterally look at three days increments. Here is a really great recipe that I found and I manipulated it a bit to fit the Daniel fast. I love drawing nearer to God, He is so awesome and so fatithful! I hope you enjoy!<br /> <br /> Crispy Breakfast bars with Almond Butter<br />Whole Grain Puffed Cereal – 7 cups (I used arrowhead puffed brown rice ) <br /><br />Organic Dried Cranberries <br />3/4 cupRaisins or Dried Blueberries <br />3/4 cup (I used raisins)<br />3/4 cup Sliced Almonds, toasted <br />Ground Cinnamon – 1 teaspoon <br />3/4 cup Honey <br />1/4 tsp salt<br />1 plus 2TBSP cup Almond Butter – <br />** you can add margarine if you are not fasting. Margarine/Unsalted Butter – 2 tablespoons. <br /><br />1. Stir together cereal, dried fruit, nuts and cinnamon (if using) in large bowl.<br />2. Put syrup, almond butter and soy margarine (whichever you are using) in large, microwave-safe measuring cup.<br />3. Microwave 1 and 1/2 minutes on high, or until hot and margarine has melted.<br />4. Stir well, then pour over cereal mixture.<br />5. Stir to coat.<br />6. Dampen hands with cold water.<br />7. Press cereal mixture firmly into 9×9 inch baking pan (I didn’t have this, so I used 13×9 inch nonstick baking pan), re-wetting hands if necessary to keep mixture from sticking.<br />8. Freeze 30 minutes. I covered the pan with plastic wrap before putting it in the freezer.<br />9. Cut into 15 bars, and store in refrigerator up to 5 days.<br /><br />Make sure to whip some air into the peanut butter once it is melted to make it lighter so it will incorporate well with the cereal and not make it mushy. You could add any kind of dried fruits and nuts in lieu of the fruits and nuts.The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-73040359188106840992010-01-08T19:28:00.000-06:002010-01-08T19:29:03.047-06:00ANSWERED PRAYER .... KIDWALK GAIT TRAINERI had a little bit of down time today to start out at the hospital. Thanks to my back and not going to the Dr. for quite some time. It is just too difficult and I really don't want to see a hospital or Dr.s office after Abigaile going so much. It is difficult to explain but after going so much with her that is the last place I want to see. <br /> I wanted to update all of our angels out there who have been praying for us and Abigaile on the status of the Kidwalk gait trainer. We received a letter from our insurance last week finally approving it! Yeah, all that perserverance and prayer paid off! God is faithful! I can tell you thousands of times, God is faithful. You have to trust Him with it and totally let go of it. As long as you have your will in it, it might take a little bit longer to obtain. <br /> I contacted the equipment company and they were turning in the order it will still take they said 6-8 weeks initially, and then said it might be 4-6 weeks. We will pretty much have to re-train Abigaile she has not used one in some time. We also need new AFOs it looks like because there is one of them that doesn't fit correct, never really has. So if you are waiting on a prayer, don't be double minded, don't be doubtful, kick it in to gear and get like-minded believers praying and raising your request, your need, your necessity, to God no matter how insurmountable it is. I am believing that this is only a start for us, just like the song says "Greater things are yet to come ! <br /> Thank you so much for your prayers and continued faith we are so thankful! It is a New Year ! <br /> Now if God would just do something about this really cold -12 wind chill and cold, cold weather. I know some of you out there prayed for cold weather and snow, okay I can handle the snow, we love you all, but you can keep your cold weather:) <br />much love and praying for blessings for you,<br />ParisThe Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-59366716455848259812009-12-27T23:43:00.001-06:002009-12-27T23:45:40.731-06:00Christmas fun...<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SzhF9WlNGSI/AAAAAAAAADo/fJUHAgrgRnI/s1600-h/Abigaile,+I%27m+so+thankful+God+is+still+in+the+Miracle+business+today!.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SzhF9WlNGSI/AAAAAAAAADo/fJUHAgrgRnI/s320/Abigaile,+I%27m+so+thankful+God+is+still+in+the+Miracle+business+today!.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420159071876356386" /></a>The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-45755558433950915032009-12-27T23:37:00.001-06:002009-12-27T23:39:34.848-06:00Daddy and his beautiful girls<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SzhEjNagHAI/AAAAAAAAADg/NT43XfiGqoQ/s1600-h/Daddy+and+his+girls+Christmas+2009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SzhEjNagHAI/AAAAAAAAADg/NT43XfiGqoQ/s320/Daddy+and+his+girls+Christmas+2009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420157523227319298" /></a>The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-31746084749927865352009-12-27T23:33:00.003-06:002009-12-27T23:36:34.532-06:00My two beautiful angels ...<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SzhD1TriVUI/AAAAAAAAADY/7IDYRl7gG-g/s1600-h/Our+sweet+angels+Christmas+2009+Natascha+%26+Abigaile.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SzhD1TriVUI/AAAAAAAAADY/7IDYRl7gG-g/s320/Our+sweet+angels+Christmas+2009+Natascha+%26+Abigaile.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420156734635398466" /></a>The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-19365679392353512172009-12-27T23:05:00.001-06:002009-12-27T23:06:20.607-06:00Message of a New Year filled with HOPE! Its a four letter word!I am so thankful for my friends and family. This has truly been a challenging year, so has the past 6 years! I am still thankful we have a loving God! Psalm 103 Praise the Lord O my soul and forget not His benefits, who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases! <br /> I am thankful that we have such a loving and faithful God that we can know we depend on. I am so thankful that Jesus took those infirmities for us so that we have complete healing and restoration. <br /> I am looking for a new year, not just New Years. God has promised us a future of life and not destruction. I pray these things for you and your families. <br />I pray for those of you who have had challenges this year, that the Lord bless you and keep you and that 2010 is a new year, make sure your resolution is in God we trust! I pray for health and healing and prosperity in all things. <br /> Holman Illustrated dictionary defines divine healing as Gods work through instruments and ways He chooses to bring health to persons physically ,emotionally, and spiritually. In the book of Acts, the healing ministry continued... <br /> We still have some challenges to overcome, and I am standing on the Word of God to believe that we will overcome. <br />1 Cor. 12:26-27 says if one part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. <br /> We all suffer and hurt when we hear of all those that are suffering and we applaud when we all hear good things about each others health. My prayer for you and your families for this new year is health and healing and May God bless you like you have never been blessed before. There is HOPE in Christ.<br /><br />with much love in Christ, <br /><br />ParisThe Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-1351968639928097202009-12-17T23:50:00.003-06:002009-12-18T00:04:49.255-06:00getting ready for a new seasonWe have had a pretty eventful day today. Abigaile started out pretty good and started having a rough afternoon. It started with therapy today. I can't explain what happened it all happened so quick. Abigaile is so quick, even though she is crawling, this is her way to get around but she gets where she is going. Mainly she likes to stop and watch momma cooking in the kitchen. She is really cute. <br /> Today Natascha got rid of her stitches in her forehead, the violet niva was benign, yeah Praise God for that. She was happy though. We are still cleaning the area and knowing in a few days it will be healed. <br /> I am trying to work on my final that is due tomorrow and then I will have a two week break. Time to clean out the clutter! <br /> We aren't writing on the caringbridge site much because Abigaile has been pretty uneventful lately in the area of hospitals, and medical issues. I know she is healing and it just takes time for her little body to cope. What is so sweet is, when she does feel bad, or has a seizure she starts quoting Isiah 53:5, she can't repeat all of it but she knows to say, "by His stripes we are..... healed". I am so thankful that she has that planted. You can tell her that "greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world" and she will clap. <br /> I am thankful for two very beautiful little girls that love God with all their heart. I am thankful for a very handsome, sweet, and loving husband that loves me with all his heart. I am thankful for what God has given me starting with Him first, and He gave His son Jesus for all our sins. I am thankful for the family that God has given me and I know He loves me. <br /> Well its almost time this weekend to start working on those Christmas gifts, still have a couple to buy, and a some stocking stuffers. I know I keep reminding myself that God is in control. Please pray for the families that are out there on caringbridges there is a lot of sickness, cancers, disease, and hurt please pray they find Gods peace and tranquility and they are forever wrapped in His Love always! <br />be blessed in the Lord, for He is good all the time!The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-66817406150481697172009-12-16T16:15:00.001-06:002009-12-16T16:30:26.204-06:00Healthcare reform-lessTo whom it may concern,<br />Mr. XXXXXX<br /> My daughter is six years old we live in Rogers, Arkansas . I can not tell you how sickened I am about the new health care reform. It is more like health care welfare! What an incentive to get people who are already in the system to stay in the system. <br /> In 2004 my daughter had an adverse reaction to a vaccine. We have been fighting for five very long years to get compensation and help with our daughter. We have lost our job in three different occasions and lost our home, our second car, and have done without necessities of health care for our family otherwise.<br /> <br /> Our daughter has had multiple medical needs, and is a complex case that we had to sign up for the first visit to Arkansas Children’s Hospital, our state insurance. It is a far cry from Insurance. It insures you not. Our daughter has been neglected care, benefits, and much needed equipment need to get her through this. We don't have a tentative settlement date because our own government is refusing to pay for the medical care that she needs, equipment that she needs, and her basic daily living that has been terribly affected by this vaccine injury. <br /><br /> Our family has gotten absolutely no support, just a lot of rhetoric, more paper with denials, we were lost off of the Medicaid waiver system, only to have to wait two more years when we have waited five already. <br /><br /> We aren't going to have to worry about our health care, our Medicare, Medicaid or anything else in this country unless we take care of our children, medically, financially, physically and spiritually! I am appalled that the people who are making these decisions aren't talking to the families that are affected by these decisions. I also challenge our local leaders why we do not have people that are advocating for these families and children? <br /><br /> I have fought for five very long years only to go through agencies as a secondary measure because we have not gotten the necessary resources from the government who determined that the vaccines were safe in the first place. Second, I have gone through the state welfare-less medical system (government ran healthcare) to get services for my daughter to no avail. I have every denial for everything and anything, basic needs that would help her to be a part of society again. I have gone also through tertiary agencies who inform me they don't have funds, I can name these if needed, you would be surprised, they are the ones claiming they are helping to get children equipment and other resources they need. They have not helped me or my family in any way in five years. I am embarrassed to be in the position I am and didn't ask for it. The only thing that has gotten my family where it is and kept us from being homeless is God and the government is even trying to take that away. Shame on you! I know that my family is not the only family dealing with this; can you believe there are families afraid someone is going to take a measly $500 away from them a month for taking care of their child if they say something? I am going to fight and keep fighting and until I can find some one in the administration who is interested in fighting for our children who have needs. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Paris GolecThe Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-55398879909063436882009-12-08T12:34:00.001-06:002009-12-08T12:34:56.089-06:00Prayer...I just wanted to say before anything else that we are praying for another caringbridge family in Arkansas. Their daughter received her angel wings this morning and went to meet Jesus. <br />http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/hannahgracecrumby please keep this family in your prayers. <br /><br />Abigaile had two more seizures today. The first she woke up with . The second was last just over 5 minutes and so we called the ambulance. They did have a good response time. The girls were ill this past week and I really felt they were over it. We also tried Abigaile on a new food so we are taking her off for a couple of days, or this weekend then we will reintroduce it again. We are getting a refill however for the Diastat. <br /><br /> We are thankful for the much needed prayers and are so apprceciative. <br /><br />Gods blessing,<br /><br />ParisThe Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-72358689177722038572009-12-07T15:42:00.002-06:002009-12-07T15:44:02.335-06:00Update on equipment and Ketogenic diet...So very tired today but wanted to update everyone. We are still working on trying to get the gait trainer. The gait trainer Mrs Amy was working on fell through, but that is okay God has something better for us. <br /> We tried Abigaile on a new juice day before yesterday and also gave her pasta, I'm thinking our organic foods that we are paying for are not as organic as they are saying. Abigaile can not tolerate even the organic sugar. She had five seizures night before last and they were spread out enough all night that none of us slept and we finally got her to sleep and she had a fluid release and woke up in a seizure. This never gets any easier. I hate seizures and feel they need to loose the children and adults on this earth and flee back to the very pitt of hell where they came from! We went to church yesterday and drove around a bit last night to look at Christmas lights. This year was the first year Abigaile has really been able to see the lights from her car seat. <br /> We are on hold right now for the Ketogenic diet as Abigailes dairy came back positive and until we can make certain she can tolerate the dairy. I am assured by the Amish farmers in Pa. that they do not feed corn or grains to their cows. Very expensive to get, it is $12 per qt. and $22 to ship. It has to be shipped overnight because it is raw and to avoid spoilage. This would be the majority of her diet but her neurologist at LeBonheur believes this will stop the drop attack seizures. It is getting too difficult for me to carry her and to move her from upstairs to downstairs so we are praying about where God would send us next. We anxiously await His orders. If He got me to it, He will get me through it. <br /> Going to be praying about some really big decisions to make in the near future. We are needing God to show us in a big way how He wants us to handle them. <br /> I pray its somewhere warm:) Florida would be nice!The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-86452198057914021492009-11-25T20:51:00.000-06:002009-11-25T20:52:12.395-06:00Happy Thanksgiving!A THANKSGIVING TO REMEMBER !<br /><br />Update on Abigaile and equipment. I have a link that I am posting, I hope I can post it here, if not then make sure to pull up Abigaileg@blogspot.com to see this absoulutely amazing thing that happened today. This is a blessing from God! I am so thankful for this family. I have been trying to get equipment for so long, mans way, and having faith. Well faith doesn't always work with mans way. You gotta know somebody, or you have to have done something for someone else and it is paying back time you know the ritual. <br /><br /> We have been attending Keypoint Church in Bentonville since about March 2009. We had to move during that time and we were able to meet some really special people that helped us from the church to move to our new apartment. We have been truly blessed since attending Keypoint church. I am putting the link in this post for you to listen to this precious lady at our church; their family is so sweet and so sincere they have prayed for us through the battles we have been fighting with the equipment. I want you to listen to it and then I will finish the rest of the story. If there is anyone who has ever doubted that God exists, let me tell you people, He is real, He exists, He is ALIVE! and He answers prayers. Listen to this ! and check your faith!<br /><br />mms://nick9.surfernetwork.com/klrcfiles/mornings/111909walkerstory.mp3<br /><br />We are so thankful to God and we are thankful that God has servants at heart like Amy and Derrick Hessman in our lives that are a blessing to us. We are thankful to KLRC as well for being a blessing. They went on our behalf to the throne room of God and partitioned where Amy saw a resource and God has answered our prayers. God is faithful in His word where two or more are gathered in my name, there will He be also. <br /><br />Abigaile needed a very specialized gait trainer that will help Abigaile to learn how to walk and straighten her gait. We filed our personal insurance, our secondary insurance, and I have called every agency from here to Little Rock consistently since 2005 trying to get this walker for our child. This gait trainer will help to keep Abigaile secure in it so that she doesn't fall and get hurt when she has a drop seizure. All of the agencies I spoke to have not had any funds for us for the gait trainer. I knew that if we were persistent that we would get the gait trainer, that God would make it possible. He has worked through this awesome family to show it. Amy was able to find the walker on craigs list, it is barely used, and the lady will take less for it than she was originally, so God please bless her too. Amy then took the "pay it forward" from KLRC and put it aside and they have gotten a couple of other donations and they are believing that Abigaile will be riding in her new gait trainer that is a blessing from God through vessels like the Hessman family! <br />I am so thankful that God has put special people like Derrick and Amy and their family into our lives. Never give up if you don't have the money, or run out of resources, you can never run out of GOD! He's too big, and He's too much, He never allows lack. So this is an awesome and thankful time for us and we can't thank you enough to the Hessmans for being ACTIVE servants of God! We love you all !<br />Allen, Paris, Natascha, and Abigaile. <br /><br />P.S.

She has had the best attitude and disposition no matter what has come at her. I wish I could be more that way. Natascha and Abigaile are both so very close and we are so blessed by that relationship that they have it is really aweosme. They do bicker, and it is most always Abigaile who starts it. That tells me that we have planted the seed of God in this child. This picture was taken at the Memphis Zoo, which by the way if you ever go to Memphis with your family or kids go hang out at the zoo. It is so clean and just really well laid out but take a couple of days to do it and enjoy the family time. This was so much fun for us just chillin' once Abigaile was discharged from the hospital. I could not do a post of Abigaile without doing a post of our sweet Natascha and she just looks so pretty in this picture. Thank you God for blessing me with two very awesome, God loving little girls and a very sweet husband that I don't know what I would do without any of them.The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-65702830786819792642009-11-05T17:03:00.006-06:002009-11-05T20:42:13.997-06:00Keep on, Keeping on !

This child is full of faith and full of life! I bet you would never know that she is full care and is unable to walk on her own. In fact, she seems so normal that no one would ever know that there is anything wrong with her. That she is unable to walk, her speech is delayed, and she has multiple chemical sensitivites including food dyes, preservatives, household chemicals. Which means that she needs someone to pretty much do everything for her. <br /> Abigaile had an adverse reaction to her 4 month old vaccines. She had multiple grand mal or clonic tonic seizures when the reaction happened. Abigaile had a 52 minute seizure that in the emergency room the attending ER Dr walked out of the room and said she would not make it. I can't tell you what that does to the pitt of your stomach. But we didn't dwell on it long, we just refused in Jesus name to accept it. We stayed on that course ever since. <br /> I want to write the post today because I am appalled at the very system that was set up to protect our American people, the innocent, and our children and will be our grand children has more than failed. It keeps you sucked in and dependent so that you will forget that God is your provision. I have nursing experience for over 9 years and have worked in ICD9 coding with a very reputable clinic in this area. I have worked at home for the past 12 years taking care of my children. I am so very familiar with how the system works in the medical profession and how it doesn't work. You need to stand up and make your voice known that you put all of your might in the system that God designed and not our political system. I work with families a lot that have relied and depended on the system. They feel like that is the system of wealth, it is the system of wealth-less-ness! if you depend on this government system to help you, they will make you dependent, not independent of it. We have worked as foster parents trying to help families who could get back together in a system that says that is its agenda, and they work very hard and not putting families back together. It is a false sense of security the number of families we see increasing on public assistance and not Gods provision and they wonder why they never increase.If you want to see increase and not lack, take up your cross and follow God. We are in a system that has a lack of God, therefore it is not blessed and it does not support itself. I have dealt with every level and branch of government for the last 5 years and have gotten nothing. God has met our needs when we lost our job, which by the way ended up after losing each new job over 4 years each time, and put back on unemployment once we relinquished that position to God, He gave us the best job we have ever had working for an awesome company with great benefits. I sometimes think Allen is so happy at his job, he doesn't want to come home. We have a need for Abigaile and God tells He will supply our needs as well as the desires of our heart. I am having faith that we will have the mobility equipment that we need for Abigaile or Abigaile will start walking on her own and completely stop having seizures. Be faithful for God, and He will always be faithful to you. Get out, start walking the walk, and talking the talk that puts you in Favor with God and men. If you keep calling those things, not as though they are, God will reward your faithfulness. He is faithful. He is God.

We have had some equipment struggles. If you know us, you know what struggles we have had with this. It almost seems that our system doesn't want children or adults that are disable and handicapped to improve. Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace and His love endures forever! That is an eternity! <br /> Abigaile has borrowed this kidwalk now for just about a month or two and we have tried through all of our insurance possibilites to get one. Primary insurance has refused because it is a pre-existing clause for one year and the state secondary insurance says that she doesn't need a walker. I suppose they expect her to crawl on her stomach for the rest of her life. There is not an age limit or prerequisite for a walker except they must be starting to ambulate. Anyways, our PT has let us graciously borrow this to see if Abigaile would do well in it and guess what she has taken off! She looks foward to it everday and loves having her independence. She also doesn't get hurt in it if she has a drop seizure. So we will have to wait until God shows the provision for it. She is getting very heavy to carry though I will tell you that! I want to share some pictures I took of Abigaile this morning after her therapy session of walking outside and then the therapist took the walker to let another child borrow it after therapy. The cost for this walker is close to $5000.00 after all the accessories are added to keep Abigaile safe.The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-2348916533718579372009-04-14T23:28:00.001-05:002009-04-14T23:28:32.499-05:00<img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTIzOTc2OTYzOTE4NyZwdD*xMjM5NzY5Njk*OTA2JnA9Mzg2MzYxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTEmdD*mbz1jYmFjYTUwNDIyOWU*NGI*OGYwNGJmNjI2ZGU3MGUzNSZvZj*w.gif" /><div style="width:480px;text-align:right;"><embed width="480" height="360" src="http://feed533.photobucket.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf?rssFeed=http%3A%2F%2Ffeed533.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee337%2Fcottage1studio%2Fabigailes%2520blogspot%2Ffeed.rss" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" > </embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/redirect/album?showShareLB=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_geturs.gif" style="border:none;" /></a><a href="http://s533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/cottage1studio/abigailes%20blogspot/" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_viewall.gif" style="border:none;" /></a></div>The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-4968990539646775092009-02-05T21:42:00.007-06:002009-02-05T23:40:20.738-06:00Get replenished !God heals those who believe in Health !God gives to givers, He loves lovers, and He nurtures the nurturers. In grace and mercy He sent Peter to pray for Dorcas, and she came back to life with one word: "Arise." If life is draining you, the Holy Spirit will hook you up with an IV and replenish you. Jesus said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). David said that the Lord was his Shepherd, who made him lie down in green pastures and led him beside still waters (Psalm 23:1–2). Only God knows what we need, and only God can restore our souls. You can not do the ministry that God has called you to do if you do not replenish yourself. <br /> We have a habit of piling so many things on our plate that we are obese with stuff and poor time management. No one is perfect, next time you think that you are try walking on water.(Matthew 14:29) You do have to step out on the water to meet God.<br /> Joshua 1:8–9 keep His word in you heart and you will have success; Psalm 32:8 He will teach you and direct you ; Jeremiah 29:11–13 This is a quest for God, that includes a level of intensity beyond ordinary prayer, "all your heart" suggests such an earnestness that borders on desperation (ARE YOU DESPERATE FOR GOD TO SHOW UP YET? ; Matthew 5:13–14 recognize your life has either a positive or negative effect. Live responsibly to bring glory to God; 6:21 don't serve materialism. , 24 your heart follows your treasure, put your heart where you want your treasure and put your treasure where you want your life to be. Get rid of clutter and distractions and give the money to the poor and needy or give to the Lords work! ; Colossians 3:17 be diligent in study, let the Word in you produce Praise to God and edification of others. Serve God in every purpose, in every thought, and every word and deed.<br /> I wanted to share this message with you for Allen and I have known for some time that God was giving us a break due to the enemys attack on our family and our child. We had to lean totally on God for physical, spiritual and financial needs. God is true and faithful and just. He will give you rest! I was asking God what he wanted me to do recently and He told me to help those that are hurt. I asked him what He meant. He showed me children and families around me that were out of contact with Him. He showed me a time, when it was too hard to get to church because our Abigaile is very difficult to get anywhere. She is 5 now and depends on me for her every move. She is able to help feed herself some and she can crawl but that is about it otherwise she is full care. God showed me Abigaile and told me that there are people that need His love and nurturing, that they are at the end of their rope, and they have run out of assistance and He desires them to come to Him. For He will give them rest! I had been looking for a support group in the area so that I could get support through the contact of other families that were dealing with the same frustrations of the the Babylonian system that we deal with. I contacted a local agency who said that they did not have a support group for this area. God has put me in positions that He has blessed me by letting me minister to others and giving resources to others. I praise Him for that. My problems always seem trivial when I am able to give to others of my time, my prayer, and my resources that just seem to show up when I need them. Don't kid youself, that is the whisper of our Almighty God! We can't plan that. My New Years obligation to God this year is to be "BOLD". He is faithful and will never let you down. If you feel that you need replenished, and need to be pumped up again, get bold and go to a Bible believing church and don't let the enemy tell you that they don't care about your family, that they don't provide for your family, you believe Gods word when He tells you that He will never leave you nor forsake you . (Joshua 1:5)<br /> We have a support network of serving others by being obedient to Gods word. We have lost jobs 3 times, almost lost one child to the vaccine injury, another to a severe asthma attack. While going through this we also almost lost our home, and had to sell for a loss (the enemy has to pay it all back). We have never doubted each other, and never wanted to leave each other. Instead we turn to the Word of God, because we know that if He gets us to it, He can get us through it. My prayer for you is that you find peace and that you get replinished in Gods word today. May God bless you.The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-31789930838968402742009-01-08T19:31:00.002-06:002009-02-05T23:41:30.243-06:00It is time for a New Year!The Golec familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666689709974519207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599057903714225166.post-65100343694042114122008-12-13T21:01:00.009-06:002008-12-13T23:50:55.001-06:00Another stage of closure...and Abigaile starts climbing<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SUSCeJETGcI/AAAAAAAAAAs/-ca4UZE8V5E/s1600-h/Abigaile+%26+Natascha+2008+Sept.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279488117526698434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SUSCeJETGcI/AAAAAAAAAAs/-ca4UZE8V5E/s320/Abigaile+%26+Natascha+2008+Sept.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SUR-2oBKV1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/KKZQomocERU/s1600-h/september20085thbirthday.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279484140105389906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm3CKDQgx3A/SUR-2oBKV1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/KKZQomocERU/s320/september20085thbirthday.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>This past week ends another chapter in our story. The life care planner came for a site visit. The visit was positive and yet, it was a little scary. We spoke with the care planner, who seems very qualified and very knowledgeable and caring. It is amazing to me how they can plan your childs entire lifetime. </div><br /><br /><div>Abigaile hit a new milestone this past week and started standing up to the sofa, by herself! This is a huge milestone. She didn't just stop there, she hiked her leg, just like she knew what she was doing and climed on the sofa. When she got to the back she was trying to figure out what she did and started clapping. She is constantly surprising us with these beautiful blessings. </div><br /><br /><div>She of course has her big sister Natascha cheering her on. Natascha is a great fan of Abigailes. Abigaile is also a big fan of Natascha.
