. . . . . . . Simple Prayer

I have a little prayer in my heart today. It goes something like this:

Dear Father in Heaven,

I have already been blessed so much and my life is so good, but if thou sees fit, I would really love these small miracles.

I would love to be able to blink again. I will never again take it for granted...to blink, to see, to drive, to be free.

I would love for my mouth to heal so I can taste and enjoy food and not "drool" liquid from my mouth.

Oh, and I would really love to be able to kiss my husband again.

Father, I want to thank thee for my wonderful family, friends and loved ones who sustain me everyday. And I am eternally grateful for the sacrifice of Thy son, my Savior, Jesus Christ. Through his atonement, I can be whole and clean again.

With gratitude and thanksgiving,

Jodi

Jodi's Story

Jodi Orgill Brown and Tolan Brown married in 1996 and together have 4 beautiful children, Trenden, Lindi, Casen and Daven, who make every day worth living.

Jodi was diagnosed with a brain tumor in April of 2009 after months of suffering from debilitating symptoms. Though 9 doctors declared her tumor was inoperable because of it's location on the brainstem, hope was not lost. One team of specialists at the University of Utah Hospital agreed to operate and remove the tumor. The first surgery was successful in removing as much of the tumor as was possible. However, complications from the surgery caused a debilitating and life-threatening spinal fluid leak, which resulted in 2 more brain surgeries and a 5-week hospitalization and fight for life.

Jodi is now "in recovery" from a dificult round 1, and has many complications and side effects, including partial facial paralysis, loss of hearing in her right ear, complications with her eye, depth perception, sight and headaches, but still has lots of love, help, hope, miracles and angels around her everyday!
