Hey everyone,


Emma had her most recent examination last Friday. It was disappointing to say the least. Doctors added 4 new medications to her regimen and have determined that she must undergo continued and focused treatment for the next 6 months. So, it seems, we will continue with all 8 of the medications for the next 6 months at least and very likely longer I suppose (or maybe it is just me that is thinking that).


Please continue to pray for us. And, especially for Emma.



Thanks.

Hi Y’all….

 

Things are going well here.  Emma’s doing well too.

 

We took her to the hospital yesterday to have blood drawn in preparation for her appointment next week.  While she was having her blood drawn it struck me that God really does have a sense of humor.  It wasn’t too long ago that Emma was THE child in the family that hated needles.  In the past, she’s had such an emotional reaction to having to get a shot that I’ve seen blood shoot several feet from the injection point.  Now, she just sits calmly and waits as the doctor(s) do their thing.

 

It is amazing to me that the Lord would take our one child who hates needles and give to them a condition that requires they get stuck frequently.  I am not sure I will ever understand how or why He does things.

 

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Our little family reunion has been sweet and precious.  Cannot put it into words how great it has been to see all of the kids.  It is amazing how much some of them grew in the just under 3 months we were gone.

 

Everybody is doing fine.  We are patiently waiting to see what the Lord has in mind for us over the next several months. 

 

Emma’s next appointment is in a about 2 weeks so we’ll know more then.  Please pray for her.

 

Have a great weekend.

Hello Everyone,
 
The kids and I made it back to the States today without any problems whatsoever.  Our reunion was sweet and, at times, tear filled.
 
We enjoyed a great lunch and a quiet evening.  Winding the day down at 8 PM tonight as I type this.
 
Thanks for your prayers.
 
Steve
