This reflection for Living Faith that was exactly what I needed to hear this week...
"Even hope is not just a breezy wishing for the best; it is an act of will - a decision to look for the movement of the Spirit, no matter how dark things seem." Reading this was like a slap in the face for me...with all the unknowns and the few setbacks we have had with our sweet baby boy over the past week, this was such a good reminder that my faith, love and hope need attention too. They require work, labor and endurance. Wow. Thank you to Karla Manternach for writing something I needed to hear!
Oooh my sweetie. We are still in wait-and-see mode, which I am ok with right now. It seems as though the doctors are moving away from suspecting there is anything major going on with him from a metabolic or genetic standpoint which is great news. But, he still has a few spells during the day and night where he stops breathing. They have improved from a few weeks ago but are still occurring, which, they need to stop if we are going to take him home. So, your continued prayers are appreciated! In the meantime, he is busily eating, gaining weight and is as cute as they come.
Things I am grateful for today:
1) The many emails, texts, phone calls from all of you expressing love, support and prayers. They all help me in ways you cannot imagine.
2) Our family. Enough said.
3) Snow being the worst "natural disaster" we would have to deal with in Buffalo. Prayers for the people of Houston...I can't even imagine what they are going through.
