Last night I had such a sweet dream. I dreamed we were home and it was storming outside and Selah "woke up" and started pulling her wires off and sit up in bed. She couldn't walk but she was Selah...what a a wonderful dream.....
Now I'm a cautious person, I don't go around claiming things and I'm not going to say that dream was from the Lord. I've had a couple of dreams in my life that I did feel came from God and I am not sure if this is one of them. It may have just came from deep inside where there is still hope...but it was a comfort to me.
After being in the ER all day, Jon was diagnosed with something like acute acid relux and given several prescriptions. He is feeling much better today.
Last night I ate supper with the family and was there to work on eye drops...no matter what is happening eye drops go on....LOL Anyhow it's so good to be with our family, like a salve to my heart. At one point, Shad, Sam and Sarah were sitting on me or leaning against me...it felt so so good!! The kids are doing great. Uncle Jim is with them, with a new appreciation of diaper duty LOL. Steve, as always, is a great help.
Selah is stable. They had done some cultures and she is responding to the antibiotics, hopefullly her fevers will soon be gone. yesterday she did keep one eye completely open and the other somewhat open. We are praying that she will have a gag/cough reflex as well as a response to the corneal test...Please pray for that for her and pray that her fevers are gone. Obviously we don't know what she is thinking but pray that god speaks to her little heart while she is in this state. A friend had given me a CD some time ago and I'm glad I had it in the van. it's the group called Selah "Greatest Hymns" we have kept that on for days now and each song speaks to my heart and I hope to her heart too.
Just continue to pray....thank you so much!!!!!!!! I may not return every call (or any-I'm just not good on the phone right now) I might not text, or hit LIKE on everything on FB since I don't have alot of time but I am unbelievably grateful to each of you who are praying. reaching out, we just feel covered by love....
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
Praise God Jon is feeling better today! Glad to hear the other kids are doing well too. I'm sure they miss their mama. Love the dream and am thankful for the hope it gave you. We continue to pray!!!
ReplyDeletePraying for Selah and the entire family. I have total faith that no matter what the level of recovery is for her, that she will know what is like to be loved for the rest of her life, and that is the most important thing to have. Hang on to hope, we never know what life holds :)

praying for you and your family, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this update. I went to SEC in the early 90's, but not sure if we were there together. You look very familiar to me. I heard about Selah on the Facebook group 'Southeastern College early 90's' and I was so sad but also so inspired by the love you and your husband have for these precious kids. I will keep praying for Selah and the rest of your family. Just try to stay strong and know that God is with you all no matter what happens. Thanks for updating! I've had your family on my mind constantly for a week now. God bless you all. ~April (Moyes) Lee

Continuing in prayer for y'all...
ReplyDeleteGod is talking to you. That little place within you where there is hope *is* God. Don't let the voice of the doctors drown Him out. He is all powerful, all good, and he is not done with you or Selah yet!
ReplyDeleteContinuing to lift you daily!
