Our strong, vibrant, very smart, athletic son is incredibly
weak. He got an elevator pass yesterday
at school and is excited about it. Even
after a long weekend that included significant rest, he still needed to come
home yesterday from school at 10am and take a long nap. He probably needs to acquiesce and receive
the help of someone carrying his books between classes this week. He's gonna need to do that after surgery for
several weeks anyway, so why not start now?
The weight of it all.
We need help carrying it. You
help us do that with your prayers and encouragement. Please keep them coming!
Tom came home sick yesterday. It worked out well so that I could leave to
go to work. Hopefully today his
antibiotic will kick in.
A week from today Jacob will be in pre-op. A week from tomorrow he will be in
surgery. We anticipate that five weeks
after that he will be free from restrictions and have a new lease on life. That day is coming. Right now we are dependent on Jesus each day
for what we need moment by moment... not that other days are different but
today we feel it in an intense way.
"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily
bears our burdens." From the Bible
in Psalm 68:19
Thanks for walking with us!
Lifting you and your precious family to the Lord! I am amazed by the perserverance God has provided for you. Continuing to pray for You to find rest in Him when it seems impossible.
