00:12:46.826 --> 00:12:47.760
I had of my life to god and so the only hope i had was that
00:12:47.894 --> 00:12:50.930
The only hope i had was that god would take control of the
00:12:51.063 --> 00:12:51.664
God would take control of the situation and make it for the
00:12:51.797 --> 00:12:52.398
Situation and make it for the better because.
00:12:52.531 --> 00:12:54.567
Better because. nothing i did or could do could
00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:55.534
Nothing i did or could do could fix a situation.
00:12:55.668 --> 00:12:58.170
Fix a situation. anna clung to her faith in
00:12:58.304 --> 00:12:58.938
Anna clung to her faith in christ as she and her parents
00:12:59.071 --> 00:12:59.772
Christ as she and her parents spent several years going from
00:12:59.906 --> 00:13:01.941
Spent several years going from doctor to doctor and hospital
00:13:02.074 --> 00:13:05.811
Doctor to doctor and hospital after countless tests and
00:13:05.945 --> 00:13:06.612
After countless tests and procedures including x-rays and
00:13:06.746 --> 00:13:10.383
Procedures including x-rays and endoscopy, colonoscopy and
00:13:10.516 --> 00:13:11.017
Endoscopy, colonoscopy and surgery to remove her
00:13:11.150 --> 00:13:14.587
Surgery to remove her gallbladder.
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:14.987
Gallbladder. they finally had an answer.
00:13:15.121 --> 00:13:15.655
They finally had an answer. she was £83 and they were like
00:13:16.989 --> 00:13:17.924
She was £83 and they were like you're doing all the great
00:13:18.057 --> 00:13:18.658
You're doing all the great things trying to get her help
00:13:18.791 --> 00:13:21.727
Things trying to get her help but that's not her real big
00:13:21.861 --> 00:13:22.428
But that's not her real big problem.
00:13:22.561 --> 00:13:22.762
Problem. her big problem is stomach.
00:13:22.895 --> 00:13:24.964
Her big problem is stomach. her whole gi system is not
00:13:25.097 --> 00:13:25.665
Her whole gi system is not working.
00:13:25.798 --> 00:13:25.998
Working. when they finally did the
00:13:26.132 --> 00:13:26.632
When they finally did the motility testing local hospital
00:13:26.766 --> 00:13:28.935
Motility testing local hospital it was one of the worst gi
00:13:29.068 --> 00:13:29.702
It was one of the worst gi motility that they've ever
00:13:29.835 --> 00:13:33.005
Motility that they've ever seen.
00:13:33.139 --> 00:13:33.306
Seen. anna had a rare disorder called
00:13:33.439 --> 00:13:34.073
Anna had a rare disorder called chronic and pseudo obstruction.
00:13:34.206 --> 00:13:36.809
Chronic and pseudo obstruction. when you have pseudo
00:13:36.943 --> 00:13:37.376
When you have pseudo obstruction there's something
00:13:37.510 --> 00:13:40.279
Obstruction there's something wrong with the motility or the
00:13:40.413 --> 00:13:41.047
Wrong with the motility or the way that the barb moves so that
00:13:41.180 --> 00:13:41.914
Way that the barb moves so that you can't food.
00:13:42.048 --> 00:13:43.950
You can't food. in this case it was very severe
00:13:44.083 --> 00:13:44.850
In this case it was very severe so that she could barely
00:13:44.984 --> 00:13:45.551
So that she could barely anything and at times didn't
00:13:45.685 --> 00:13:47.720
Anything and at times didn't eat anything at all or she
00:13:47.853 --> 00:13:48.421
Eat anything at all or she would get bloating and nothing
00:13:48.554 --> 00:13:51.223
Would get bloating and nothing leave her stomach essentially.
00:13:51.357 --> 00:13:51.958
Leave her stomach essentially. and so that was the reason for
00:13:52.091 --> 00:13:52.725
And so that was the reason for her intestinal failure.
00:13:52.858 --> 00:13:53.359
Her intestinal failure. and his condition affected the
00:13:54.593 --> 00:13:55.461
And his condition affected the whole family.
00:13:55.594 --> 00:13:55.895
Whole family. i'd walk into a grocery store
00:13:56.028 --> 00:13:58.698
I'd walk into a grocery store cry.
00:13:58.831 --> 00:13:59.098
Cry. i didn't want to cook food that
00:13:59.231 --> 00:13:59.966
I didn't want to cook food that had smells.
00:14:00.099 --> 00:14:00.366
Had smells. so i felt guilty.
00:14:02.068 --> 00:14:02.668
So i felt guilty. >> we stopped eating as a
00:14:02.802 --> 00:14:03.602
>> we stopped eating as a family we would eat in moments
00:14:03.736 --> 00:14:07.006
Family we would eat in moments and anna loved food.
00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:07.573
And anna loved food. >> that was also what what was
00:14:07.707 --> 00:14:09.976
>> that was also what what was really tragic.
00:14:10.109 --> 00:14:10.409
Really tragic. she's a foodie.

She's a foodie. she loves all food and learned
00:14:11.010 --> 00:14:11.610
She loves all food and learned to kind of humble myself before
00:14:11.744 --> 00:14:14.347
To kind of humble myself before the lord and the control and i
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.451

With job. my life was fine and it was
00:14:25.958 --> 00:14:26.625
My life was fine and it was taken away the blink of an eye.
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.529
Taken away the blink of an eye. but to never stop worshiping
00:14:30.663 --> 00:14:31.364
But to never stop worshiping lord you know that's kind of
00:14:31.497 --> 00:14:32.832
Lord you know that's kind of how i felt.

Surgeries to install tubes to nutrition and remove waste.
00:14:42.942 --> 00:14:43.542
Nutrition and remove waste. in 2016 her doctors operated
00:14:45.311 --> 00:14:46.078
In 2016 her doctors operated again to place line whichwe
00:14:46.212 --> 00:14:49.782
Again to place line whichwe supplied nutrition directly
00:14:49.915 --> 00:14:50.449
Supplied nutrition directly into anna's.
00:14:50.583 --> 00:14:53.652
Into anna's. >> there was times were like

Like to go home would be a gift for her.
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:05.331
For her. i had relinquished the thought
00:15:05.464 --> 00:15:06.165
I had relinquished the thought of her ever marrying having a
00:15:06.298 --> 00:15:09.835
Of her ever marrying having a future living out of the home.
00:15:09.969 --> 00:15:10.569
Future living out of the home. i just accepted was going to be

And became resistant to antibiotics.
00:15:18.044 --> 00:15:21.147
Antibiotics. her family and friends

Her family and friends interceded praying god

Interceded praying god intervene.
00:15:24.683 --> 00:15:24.950
Intervene. prayer was vital to her
00:15:25.084 --> 00:15:25.551
Prayer was vital to her survival.
00:15:25.684 --> 00:15:25.918
Survival. i really had to keep giving it
00:15:26.052 --> 00:15:28.888
I really had to keep giving it to them every day.
00:15:29.021 --> 00:15:29.422
To them every day. i know she answered prayers by
00:15:29.555 --> 00:15:30.189
I know she answered prayers by keeping us going and keeping
00:15:30.322 --> 00:15:32.558
Keeping us going and keeping our family intact.
00:15:32.691 --> 00:15:33.092
Our family intact. he walked with us the whole
00:15:33.225 --> 00:15:33.793
He walked with us the whole time.
00:15:33.926 --> 00:15:34.093
Time. i meant a lot because it just
00:15:34.226 --> 00:15:36.829
I meant a lot because it just means people were thinking
00:15:36.962 --> 00:15:37.530
Means people were thinking about it and thinking about me
00:15:37.663 --> 00:15:40.733
About it and thinking about me and really for me.
00:15:40.866 --> 00:15:43.903
And really for me. and his only chance for
00:15:44.036 --> 00:15:44.570
And his only chance for survival was a transplant.
00:15:44.703 --> 00:15:47.706
Survival was a transplant. so her family moved from texas
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.474
So her family moved from texas to pennsylvania where there was
00:15:48.607 --> 00:15:50.943
To pennsylvania where there was a world renowned intestinal
00:15:51.077 --> 00:15:51.710
A world renowned intestinal transplant program.
00:15:51.844 --> 00:15:52.244
Transplant program. anna was was put on the
00:15:52.378 --> 00:15:55.548
Anna was was put on the transplant list.
00:15:55.681 --> 00:15:56.015
Transplant list. and on may 17th, 2024, exactly
00:15:56.148 --> 00:15:58.484
And on may 17th, 2024, exactly three years later i got the
00:15:58.617 --> 00:15:59.318
Three years later i got the call that she was getting a new
00:15:59.452 --> 00:16:02.688
Call that she was getting a new intestine.
00:16:02.822 --> 00:16:03.055
Intestine. the nine hour surgery was
00:16:03.189 --> 00:16:05.458
The nine hour surgery was risky.
00:16:05.591 --> 00:16:05.758
Risky. >> no one knew she'd survive
00:16:05.891 --> 00:16:06.459
>> no one knew she'd survive the surgery and and just
00:16:06.592 --> 00:16:08.661
The surgery and and just because her body was already so
00:16:08.794 --> 00:16:09.428
Because her body was already so frail from all the things she
00:16:09.562 --> 00:16:10.162
Frail from all the things she had dealt with risk of
00:16:10.296 --> 00:16:12.598
Had dealt with risk of transplant is rejection or
00:16:12.731 --> 00:16:13.265
Transplant is rejection or having your body the organs
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.435
Having your body the organs because it looks it is a
00:16:16.569 --> 00:16:17.103
Because it looks it is a foreign entity in the body and
00:16:17.236 --> 00:16:20.339
Foreign entity in the body and so we used immunosuppressive
00:16:20.473 --> 00:16:21.040
So we used immunosuppressive medicine.
00:16:21.173 --> 00:16:21.407
Medicine. the drugs themself are not
00:16:21.540 --> 00:16:24.043
The drugs themself are not benign and then there's the
00:16:24.176 --> 00:16:24.710
Benign and then there's the whole myriad of other problems
00:16:24.844 --> 00:16:25.478
Whole myriad of other problems as they're getting adjusted the
00:16:25.611 --> 00:16:28.914
As they're getting adjusted the new organ.
00:16:29.048 --> 00:16:29.315
New organ. there's all a god thing.
00:16:29.448 --> 00:16:29.949
There's all a god thing. me i can't even explain it.
00:16:30.082 --> 00:16:31.317
Me i can't even explain it. i mean he literally kept me
00:16:31.450 --> 00:16:32.084
I mean he literally kept me healthy enough and that person
00:16:32.218 --> 00:16:34.854
Healthy enough and that person was a perfect match.
00:16:34.987 --> 00:16:35.421
Was a perfect match. nothing ever went more wrong
00:16:35.554 --> 00:16:36.155
Nothing ever went more wrong with it.
00:16:36.288 --> 00:16:39.091
With it. the surgery went so smooth and
00:16:39.225 --> 00:16:39.859
The surgery went so smooth and it was all god's timing no
00:16:39.992 --> 00:16:40.693
It was all god's timing no infection no rejection, no
00:16:40.826 --> 00:16:43.596
Infection no rejection, no battle and some sort of here
00:16:43.729 --> 00:16:44.330
Battle and some sort of here and there kind but nothing to
00:16:44.463 --> 00:16:47.266
And there kind but nothing to the extent she was really under
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.033
The extent she was really under the top of of the curve of how
00:16:48.167 --> 00:16:50.603
The top of of the curve of how well she did.
00:16:50.736 --> 00:16:51.036
Well she did. >> seven months later anna was
00:16:51.170 --> 00:16:53.672
>> seven months later anna was able to enjoy her first
00:16:53.806 --> 00:16:56.342
Able to enjoy her first christmas dinner with family in

Ten years. i so used to not eating that it

Eat again. it was crazy.
00:17:03.415 --> 00:17:03.849
It was crazy. it was weird being able to like
00:17:03.983 --> 00:17:04.683
It was weird being able to like go pick up a plate and put food
00:17:04.817 --> 00:17:07.553
Go pick up a plate and put food on it.
00:17:07.686 --> 00:17:07.853
On it. it was just really special.
00:17:07.987 --> 00:17:08.554
It was just really special. i mean watching eat just so

I mean watching eat just so it's just surreal.
00:17:11.824 --> 00:17:12.224
It's just surreal. but to see her happy feeling
00:17:12.358 --> 00:17:15.127
But to see her happy feeling and eating i don't think
00:17:15.261 --> 00:17:15.761
And eating i don't think there's words.
00:17:15.895 --> 00:17:16.228
There's words. >> today anna is living a a

Strength when we feel the weakest.

Weakest. this is a miracle and i never

Anna and her family were very strong in faith and i think

Strong in faith and i think that that was very helpful and

That she believed god telling them they should rethink the
00:45:00.257 --> 00:45:00.858
Them they should rethink the idea.
00:45:00.991 --> 00:45:03.694
Idea. >> i can tell you after
00:45:03.828 --> 00:45:04.461

Knew about our work with foster care was not over.
00:45:08.833 --> 00:45:11.735
Care was not over. i knew that there was a
00:45:11.869 --> 00:45:12.503
I knew that there was a possibility he could be in our
00:45:12.636 --> 00:45:13.370
Possibility he could be in our home.
00:45:13.504 --> 00:45:15.606
Home. i do remember going home after
00:45:15.739 --> 00:45:16.473
I do remember going home after initial initially meeting and
00:45:16.607 --> 00:45:19.310
Initial initially meeting and telling my husband that this is
00:45:19.443 --> 00:45:20.110
Telling my husband that this is the kind of kid i wish we could
00:45:20.244 --> 00:45:21.011
The kind of kid i wish we could have fostered.
00:45:21.145 --> 00:45:22.847
Have fostered. so when i brought up the idea
00:45:22.980 --> 00:45:23.814
So when i brought up the idea of mason it wasn't hard to get
00:45:23.948 --> 00:45:27.184
Of mason it wasn't hard to get him on board.
00:45:27.318 --> 00:45:27.651
Him on board. later jill discovered she and
00:45:27.785 --> 00:45:30.688

>> i lost my mom. one thing i would learned over
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:37.862
One thing i would learned over time after losing the mom is
00:45:37.995 --> 00:45:38.562
Time after losing the mom is it's a club nobody wants to be
00:45:38.696 --> 00:45:42.199
It's a club nobody wants to be in.

Family while mason was too old to take in foster child, angel
00:46:16.166 --> 00:46:18.869

I could just kind of see him looking around.
00:46:44.194 --> 00:46:45.963
Looking around. he asked me what my address
00:46:46.096 --> 00:46:46.764
He asked me what my address was.
00:46:46.897 --> 00:46:47.031
Was. i did not realize that was
00:46:47.164 --> 00:46:49.199
I did not realize that was putting pieces of a puzzle
00:46:49.333 --> 00:46:49.900
Putting pieces of a puzzle together at that moment i just
00:46:50.034 --> 00:46:53.137
Together at that moment i just nonchalantly told him my
00:46:53.270 --> 00:46:53.771
Nonchalantly told him my address and i watched a wave of
00:46:53.904 --> 00:46:57.141
Address and i watched a wave of emotion come over him.
00:46:57.274 --> 00:46:57.775
Emotion come over him. >> i was like this is my old.
00:46:57.908 --> 00:47:04.381
>> i was like this is my old. i was in disbelief.
00:47:04.515 --> 00:47:05.015
I was in disbelief. i thought like it was a sign of
00:47:05.149 --> 00:47:08.419
I thought like it was a sign of something like and this is
00:47:08.552 --> 00:47:11.689
Something like and this is where i needed to be like i was
00:47:11.822 --> 00:47:12.756
Where i needed to be like i was home.
00:47:12.890 --> 00:47:15.192
Home. i was actually home.
00:47:15.326 --> 00:47:15.893
I was actually home. mason was just a child when his
00:47:16.026 --> 00:47:18.896
Mason was just a child when his family moved out years before
00:47:19.029 --> 00:47:19.596
Family moved out years before when his mom was alive and so
00:47:19.730 --> 00:47:22.433
When his mom was alive and so in some way we were both full
00:47:22.566 --> 00:47:27.204
In some way we were both full of emotion.
00:47:27.338 --> 00:47:27.604
Of emotion. he asked if he can go through
00:47:27.738 --> 00:47:28.339
He asked if he can go through his his old and so i was like
00:47:28.472 --> 00:47:31.275
His his old and so i was like of course you're welcome to go
00:47:31.408 --> 00:47:32.142
Of course you're welcome to go anywhere you want.
00:47:32.276 --> 00:47:34.578
Anywhere you want. it was very clear to all of us
00:47:34.712 --> 00:47:38.082
It was very clear to all of us that mason was going to come
00:47:38.215 --> 00:47:38.816
That mason was going to come live with us and he in that
00:47:38.949 --> 00:47:42.419
Live with us and he in that weekend.
00:47:42.553 --> 00:47:42.753
Weekend. i'd say i felt like i to be
00:47:42.886 --> 00:47:46.724
I'd say i felt like i to be with miss angel and mr. romney
00:47:46.857 --> 00:47:47.458
With miss angel and mr. romney and like their family it felt
00:47:47.591 --> 00:47:48.225
And like their family it felt like it felt like i was like
00:47:48.359 --> 00:47:55.332
Like it felt like i was like back at home like i was
00:47:55.466 --> 00:47:56.066
Back at home like i was reunited with a family.
00:47:56.200 --> 00:47:59.236
Reunited with a family. that year mason graduated high
00:47:59.370 --> 00:47:59.970
That year mason graduated high school and enlisted in the army
00:48:00.104 --> 00:48:03.073
School and enlisted in the army after ten weeks of boot camp.
00:48:03.207 --> 00:48:03.807
After ten weeks of boot camp. he came home just in time for
00:48:03.941 --> 00:48:07.011
He came home just in time for christmas.
00:48:07.144 --> 00:48:07.378
Christmas. for me it was an idea.
00:48:07.511 --> 00:48:11.281
For me it was an idea. i was trying to just make him
00:48:11.415 --> 00:48:12.182
I was trying to just make him as much of a part of my family
00:48:12.316 --> 00:48:14.585
As much of a part of my family as i could.
00:48:14.718 --> 00:48:14.985
As i could. we did the same traditions he
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:18.555

00:48:19.456 --> 00:48:20.057
My boys have always done and for for him.
00:48:20.190 --> 00:48:21.892
For for him. that was something new and
00:48:22.026 --> 00:48:22.559
That was something new and exciting.
00:48:22.693 --> 00:48:22.926
Exciting. that year he was a christmas
00:48:23.060 --> 00:48:26.296
That year he was a christmas gift to my family.
00:48:26.430 --> 00:48:26.830
Gift to my family. mason through the lewises love
00:48:26.964 --> 00:48:29.666
Mason through the lewises love and generosity a family wasn't
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.836
And generosity a family wasn't the only gift he received.
00:48:32.970 --> 00:48:36.573
The only gift he received. nogales brought back into my
