Hi friends,
Well, after a brief hiatus from drama we're back in the thick of it. Evelyn was admitted to Children's today with very low platelet levels, low blood count, raised creatnine (an indicator of her kidney function), and unexplained vomiting of blood. And while Keith was at the ER with Evelyn I was at the doctor's office investigating a mysterious rash on my back and chest. It turns out it's just good old fashioned shingles. It's uncomfortable but that is not really a big deal. However, the doctors are concerned that Ada could get chicken pox from contact with my rash. Please pray for our sweet babies and for health all around.
Mentally and emotionally I think we're holding it together. I go between weeping and laughing within moments of each other. I've got Western State on my speed dial :o). As I was driving to the doctor's office today I thought back on my last year of Regent when I experienced a lot of difficulties and found Psalm 13 very comforting ("How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?"). I realized today I don't feel forgotten. I'm perplexed and sometimes without words to say why all these things have continued to push us to our limits but somehow I have begun to understand the end of that Psalm "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me." I'm glad you all are walking with us because I believe, in this life or the next, we will see His goodness in all of this.
