Another hard day in NB land comes to an end
My mind has drifted back to Elesha and her family all day long (see post below). I rejoice with her and her family that she is "cured" finally. It tore me up to see her subjected to such misery yesterday in the clinic. Now all that is conquered, and I am glad for it. Paul's eyes filled with tears today when we told him. Just like that you find yourself trying to explain the unexplainable. Nothing seems fair. But, we walk by faith and not by sight...don't we? It's hard. Pray for the Debenports.
The Paul report is pretty good today. He finally made it back to the good old putt-putt course today and pretty much picked up where he left off. He beat all of us...for real. I had to help him bend over and get his ball and get up and down stairs since his surgery area is still tender. We were proud of him for getting out and getting some much needed exercise. He continues to take more and more volume of "food" through his G-button (it's a high calorie Ensure-like drink) as well as all his meds. He is still hurting, but only around his tube exit area. Pray that will heal right away.
Finally, we had been looking forward to a visit from my Mom from Tyler this weekend, but she fell and broke her leg while working outside this afternoon. She will need surgery next week to repair it, but we are told that this leg bone will repair relatively easy and heal well. Keep her in your prayers as well as my sister (who lives nearby) since she'll be there to help out with things.
We may get beat down from time-to-time, but we do not despair. God's GRACE is enough. (-:

May you feel the love and peace that only God can provide as you go through this time. Our prayers continue for Paul and for your family. We pray for your friends who have experienced the ultimate loss of their precious child (the pictures of her look like pictures of a real angel - so pure in heart and spirit, so beautiful inside and out). We pray for your mother and sister as they face the week ahead including surgery.
We praise God for His love and for the blessings he provides... grateful that you all had a good game of putt-putt and that the G button is providing Paul with another means of getting meds and nourishment, and grateful that Elesha is with her Heavenly Father and is no longer experiencing pain.
We pray for you without ceasing.
For you while you cannot be with your Mom; for your Mom and sister; for her doctors; for Paul's continued fun and freedom from pain; for Elesha's family and friends; for all of you to have health, strength, stamina; for you all to have times of fun and light-heartedness; and for valuable quiet time alone, I pray.
Thanks for being there for us Saxons. You're great friends. Thanks for making it today, Leigh. We sure do love you all.
Karen
