This blog was started in 2004, as a record of my family's journey. I have poured out my heart, shared the messes and stresses of our lives and tried to provide my family with something to look back on in years to come. It has been a wonderful source of therapy, a means of making new friends and an all around blessing.
There are, however, seasons of our lives that require us to re prioritize and leave some things to the wayside so that we can focus on the things of greater importance. I have learned this lesson over the past few days, the hard way (which is a gross understatement.) As much as I love to write this blog and share our lives with all of you, God has shown that it is time for me to re prioritize and shift focus. I do so without sadness or regret, because the rewards will be so much greater in the end.
I do want to leave you with the knowledge that Daniel is doing much better. We have taken the first step of a long, but healing journey. Even though it has been a hellish week for all of us, I can see God's awesome work in our lives. I feel that the last six days have been instrumental in getting us to the destination that we have struggled to be at for so long. Our fruitless efforts, the searches, the doors that were slammed in our faces, the frustration, the worrying, the many years of trying to get answers for questions that seemed impossible to obtain...it has all led us to this point. It was all for a reason that our human eyes couldn't see and our human minds could not comprehend, yet was present all along.
Please pray for us as we embark on our new journey. It is quite obvious that those of you who have been praying, are powerful prayer warriors, indeed. There is no other way to explain our ability to get through this last week with our sanity in tact and the unbelievable strength that could only have come from God. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! It was uplifting and comforting to know that there were people all over the world offering up prayers and good thoughts for us. Although I can never repay all of you, I encourage you to contact me if you ever are in need of prayer and I will gladly reciprocate your kindness.
I'm signing off now. Much to do and little time to do it in (I know that you all understand!) Hugs to all of you!!

Your strength and faith will carry you through!
We wish you the best...and we will definitely keep you in our prayers.
Your blog has been such a joy to read and I hope that there will be a time down the road when you can return. I hope and pray your family will get the help and answers you need.

Remember, it is only a season, although it may seem so very long. Keep your head up and know that God will continue to carry you through giving you the strength you need each day. We will continue to pray Daniel Jr., as well as you and your family.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kadi, Thank you for sharing your life with us, I have enjoyed your blog immensley. I am so glad that God is working in your lives, I have been praying for you and your entire family often and I am glad that you can feel His presence with you. Do whatever you need to do to take care of your family, I will keep praying. You are an incredible mother and the love you have for your kids is obvious, keep up the good work, that is the most important job!
Love,
Tiffani

Oh no! I just discovered your blog and now you're stopping? I do understand, however, and wish you the best on your new journey.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I can't believe the blog is coming to an end. It has been so much fun reading about your daily life. I do understand though. You have much more important things to deal with now than keeping us entertained. Good luck to you and your family. I have a feeling the world hasn't heard the last of Kadi Prescott!
Kadi, I have so enjoyed reading your blog. My heart aches for you and your family. Today as I have prayed for you, the Lord put a verse on my heart, Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for a hope and a future."
I saw that another reader put same verse in a comment. I will pray this verse for you. From one momma to another, I speak blessings over your family and His healing over Daniel Jr.
Thanks for sharing your life with us through blog land!
In Him,
Cassidy
thanks for the guilty pleasure you have provided for us all...i wish you the best for your family, and you will remain in my prayers.

I will miss my daily dose of Kadi and the kids! God bless as you take this journey, and I wish you nothing but the best.
Kadi, I hope that things work out for you. I do hope to see you down the hill in the future. I'm always around if you ever need to get away and grab a drink. I will keep you and yur family in my prayers.
I will truly miss reading about you and your family. You have honestly been an inspiration to me! I wish you and your family the best of luck and will keep you all in my thoughts as you continue on your journey.
On a different note, I finally saw the re-run of Supernanny tonight. I believe you are doing an excellent job in raising 7 children. It was a very moving eposide to watch. My husband saw a lot of himself in some actions and even teared up at the end of the show. Keep up the good work.
God Bless.
I will miss my daily visits to your blog. It's been fun!
Please keep my email and let me know when you return:)
I understand there is a time and a season for everything.
Lots of love...
Kadi,
I don't know what your son's health concerns are...but...if you suspect that your son's health is going to effect your son attending school everyday....then you should consider asking for an Individualized Educational Plan for your son. According to the law, the school must make modifications based on health concerns. You will want to do this to avoid truancy problems. Although schools are not mandated by law to make modifications solely for ADHD...they can add modifications to an existing IEP plan. Please do not be embarrassed by special education...schools make modifications all the time for students who have health issues. Once an IEP is in place, the school corporation is required by law to help financially with related services. This could save you some money in the long run. You can contact the school pyschologist for more information.
I will miss your daily writings, I admit they are addicting. You are a talented writer. Your love of writing is obvious as well. It is a gift you give your son to give up something that you love so much for someone that you love even more. Your family is fortunate to have such a wonderful and caring mother. I know that you will have the strength to carry all your angels through this phase of your lives. Daniel Jr will shine through with all of God's glory and will have his family's unending love to help hold him firm. What a blessing for him to have so many who love him so much right in his own home. God Bless you on your travels and hopefully we will see your writings somewhere, sometime soon.
When it comes to God's love, streghth, security, & care for you & your family is comes like the rain & when it rains it pours. Know that you're not alone, as a family in Christ, we are all one body & in Him. You're family's got you back! Peace & Blessing to all of you.
Best of luck, Kadi. Thanks for the laughs...
Kadi,
I love reading your blog! I've never commented before, so I figure this is my chance! Thank you for sharing your life. You are a very talented writer and you are freakin hilarious! I wish you and your family all the best. May you lean on God to get you through this storm in your life. You and your family will be in my prayers.
God Bless,
Lisa Hunter
Kadi,
I wanted to add a few things. I have a good friend down the hill in Etiwanda who works for the school dictrict (high school). If you need help with the above about an IEP plan, he's well-trained in this area. Just let me know and I can "hook you up."
My heart has just been breaking for you. Dh also wanted to let you know he's praying for you. HUGS! And most importantly, praying.
i wish you and yours the best :)
Well I only recently became a reader of yours, and so I'm selfishly sad to see you go, but i wish you the best in this new season and will hope that your blogging season returns some day :)
Kadi,
I have never commented before but I wanted to say I read your blog daily and it really is a blast. I am so incredibly sorry you are having so many issues right now. I do hope that maybe you could take a break for a while and come back later. Maybe you could do it once a week instead of everyday?
I will be thinking of you and your children. Hoping things turn out okay and you get to come back to us once things settle in a bit.
Oh, and I found you from MamaDrama. They are a great source of support for moms of special needs kids. I know you've been there before but if you have some time you might want to re-join us.
Best Regards,
Angela
