This morning Jon planned on taking Sam to the park for awhile since we didn't think Selah had therapy. Then when he got back, the NBC channel here in Rochester had called and asked if we'd do a segment on Thanksgiving. It will be on the NBC station tonight at 11 pm. After they left some friends who are adopting stopped by and then our van wouldn't start again....so it ended up he didn't go over to the hospital till after 5 pm. I don't think that has ever happened before. BUT when he came in the room, Selah lifted her head and shoulders off the bed and moved towards him!!!! She was ready to see her daddy!!!!!! He called me on cloud 9 that she responded like that to him!!! She has had a good day and did end up with OT and Speech with some other therapists so that was great too! Isn't that great how she responded to Jon???? Everything going good, she just has a little bit more gunk as this cold works it way out of her system. I'm so proud of our little fighter!!!
Today was a very sad day at the RMH, a family who is here with another child, lost their toddler to an accident at a relative's home. Please pray for this sweet sweet family. Their other child had heart surgery today. Please Please pray for them!!!! Our hearts are broken for them.
Another mom that we met here years ago just got the news that her son, who has fought leukemia two times before has had a reaction to the chemo and he is fighting for his life. This young man has endured so much and was facing a bone marrow transplant. Please pray for this family that has gone through so much. The outlook is not good for him and I know they would appreciate your prayers!
Our hearts are heavy for these families that we know, that we have laughed with, ate with, and talked with. Please pray that the God of all comfort will be with them tonight and give them comfort! Tonight I am thankful for the comfort of God....sometimes that is all you have.
"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!
I'm packing for my Thanksgiving trip but stopped by to ck. So glad about Selah's remarkable ability to respond to her daddy! So sorry about the families who indeed need the tender compassion of their loving God right now. Will certainly pray for them...and Selah's continued improvement.
ReplyDeleteWOW! So very happy to hear about Selah's response to her daddy! That is wonderfully exciting and amazing! Praise God.
ReplyDeleteAnd so very, very sad, so very sad, to hear about the family who lost one child while providing for the need of another. That is beyond heartbreaking. May God comfort them in deep, abiding ways that are beyond our understanding.
And for this other family with the son who has leukemia -- you must hear so many heartbreaking stories there at RMH. Such suffering. May God comfort this family, too, and provide healing for the boy and right knowledge for his doctors.
With a heavy heart,
Shawnee
I love to come here and read how well little Selah is doing. God is definitely at work.
ReplyDeleteWe're praying for all tonight. In a land that has so much to be grateful for, perhaps the greatest thanks for many is the grace and love of the Lord.
