Hello Friends & Family,Here are the latest updates on my current hospitalization. The MRSA is only in the wound, it is not systemic, so this is a great relief. Also, we just discovered my surgery is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. tomorrow. As soon as I am able to return and send a message, I will let you all know how things went. Please pray I’m able to rest well tonight. Tomorrow is going to be challenging enough as it is.
I’m very thankful for all of you who have visited, called and responded via email to encourage me and let me know you are prayerfully supporting us. It is exciting to know you are here, walking beside us, and it alleviates the weight of the burden. We are grateful to you, thank you.
Some of my friends have verbalized their confusion as to how something like this can happen to someone who is faithfully and obediently following after Christ. Well, it is quite simple, really. It is a common thing among paraplegics. This is not something strange and uncommon, but happens frequently to people in wheelchairs with wounds and circulations problems. This is simply living as a paraplegic. Sometimes it is costly and sad, but Christ knows all about it. Hebrews 12 talks about how he is ‘touched’ by the feelings of our infirmities. And every night for the last several nights, I have counted on this. |
