ago, was answering calls from family, then friends
stopped by just to hang out and let us know they want
to help in any way; as soon as they left (2 minutes
later) other friends stopped by to bring a meal;
immediately after their drop-off, a church friend
called to say that i was on his mind and he wanted to
give me some encouragement. To me, that is a clear
picture of the body of Christ in action. Honestly,
these most recent examples of support have pretty much
been a common place over the last 2 weeks. I don't
ever want my words to be trivialized concerning how
much Becky and i have been blessed by our friends and
family. It is exactly what we need at this time,
people reassuring us that God is good even in the
midst of this huge change and ordeal in our life. i'm
being challenged to "raise the bar" in God's call to
be kind (Galatians 5:22). Irritability and impatience
have snuck in too often. Jordan had another restless
night's sleep and the guantlet of medical procedures
(temp. check, catheder emptied and cleaned, ointment
applied, daily shot, medicine rituals, etc.) have
caused me to put some of my thoughts in the complaint
bucket. I can't imagine what i'ld be like without the
prayers and support- a scary thought. Aside from his
usual feistiness, Jordan is obviously glad to be out
of the hospital; tearing around the house, happy to be
unhooked from all those medical machines and cords. He
loves playing peeka boo, listening to music and when
he finally decides to settle down he likes watching
elmo. A good thing that the catheter doesn't seem to
agravate him too much. Pray that it doesn't become
infected and cause more urinary track problems.
Additionally, he is still experiencing pain and
discomfort during a bm. Thanks to all for checking in
on us and for the "comments". All our love, brent & becky
