Sunday Sadness

I have to say I'm pretty bummed today. Gabe isn't stable enough to go home.
I'm just gonna quit getting my hopes up that everytime they say, Maybe he can
go home tomorrow.......

He isn't perking up yet. Won't eat much and not drinking so well.
They are going to give him an enema and see if that helps. He may have to get
back on the IV too depending on how the day goes.

I'm bummed to miss out on our good friend's wedding today. Bummed to see
the beautifulness of it all.....bummed I don't get to play piano for them.....bummed
I have to miss out on the yummy food and awesome wedding cake. But most of all,
bummed we have to miss church yet again. After not being in church for 3 sundays,
i'm not doing so well. I'm the type, I have to go to church regularly.

BUT......God is faithful. I know He will meet me here today and I'm gonna go try to
find the chapel and have some quiet time. I am thankful for the sunshine today.
I'm thankful for all the visitors it sounds like we will be getting. I'm thankful that
once again we are still getting impressive care here. We had a different doc today since
it's the weekend and yesterday also and EVERY.SINGLE.DOC we have has been great.
EVERY.SINGLE.NURSE has been great........And it's only God that would design this
for us and our little boy. I'm extremely thankful for that. I'm thankful that even though I want
to leave this place, they are keeping us because they are trying to help get him better.
I feel more secure here knowing there are medical staff at our right hand that will
be here for anything and everything.

Thank you still for all the prayers......as I sit here, I cry because we can still feel it and that
is pretty stinkin' awesome. That you all are still praying. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I cannot express enough how much we love and appreciate you all and that you are standing with us in prayer. That you haven't forgotten about us.......we're so humbled and grateful.

"1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. "
Psalm 103

Still praying for you guys. Have they talked at all about the possibility of transferring him Riley in Indianapolis or Childrens in Chicago? Just wondering. Hang in there and know that you are loved and surrounded by love.

Hey Laura,
You were sure on our minds and hearts at church today. Can't wait to see your smiling faces and watch Gabe get in trouble for running in the sanctuary!!
Love,
Pastor J
