Praise God that every time someone new (nurses, techs. ect.) finds out that Dr. Wetjen is our surgeon they boast on his ability as a surgeon. We met with him early this morning (along with 4 others) and Sarah and I talked about how you could just feel his gift of healing. It really is quite amazing how that works; think about someone that you have met and you were like "(Insert Name) is awesome, they are totally an incredible (Whatever), that is his/her calling". I associate that most with a great speaker or pastor, Billy Graham for instance, when I listened to him live in St. Louis it was like that. All of our Dr.'s are walking in their gifts, whether they know it or not, and our X is that much more blessed because of that.
Poor baby just sleeps and sleeps and sleeps
There is not much to report here other than we are just waiting. Patience has become an intricate part of our lives, having to learn all about it (patience) the last few months; I think we would be pulling out our hair had we not walked that one out. Along those lines I feel like I am on an all fruit diet, Holy Spirit fruit, with patience (commonly miscategorized as a virtue) and peace being our main staple. I just read Galatians 5 and I am going to keep what I wrote, but I want to emphasize that Sarah and I, being covered in prayer, are living off all of them.

Nurses and techs. speak freely with us about prayer and faith, I believe that is because the Holy Spirit is covering us, due to all of your prayers, and they have this sense that they can speak freely. They talk to us about how incredible X is, and that he is one of the sweetest boys they have ever met, along with how handsome he is, and how he gets it from his dad. Okay so I threw that last part in, but they do say that he has such a sweet spirit about him.

I think it is amazing that we both can be so calm, and filled with peace in this, our most difficult trial ever. It is now 6:30pm and no seizures, we all are hoping that he will have some tonight, and not go 21 days like another patient that was here a few months ago. Grandma and the Twinkies stopped by to visit; X was not too thrilled, but then fell asleep. Tonight before you eat supper or before you lay your head down to sleep please ask God to allow X to have a seizure or 4. Thanks, if we get anymore news I'll let you know.

Okay, Dan, I made it all the way through this post without crying until you added that last picture and the comment about the twins praying for X. That is just precious.
ReplyDeleteIt feels really weird to pray for seizures, but we will do just that. And we will keep praying that you and Sarah continue experiencing God's peace. What an awesome testimony you are to those who are in contact with you there.
