A quick update when there is not too much to update...

Hey guys,

There isn't a whole lot of news from today, but I figured I'd update you with what little has changed!

I talked to Mom today, and she said she has been resting and sleeping a lot today.  Overall, she said the pain is not too bad.  She did mention a sore back, though, which the doctors think is probably just from being on the operating table so long! She also has been given permission to eat ice chips now (It's not much, but at least the coldness feels nice!). With the help of doctors and friends, she was also able to move from her bed and sit in a chair for a while, which was a nice change!

I also talked to Dad, and he is holding up well, too. :)
He said they are in a very big nice room, where he actually has a pull-out couch/chair! When I spoke to him, he was just arriving at the mall to "walk around for an hour to get some exercise."  Somehow, I think this could have possibly turned into going to the bookstore for an hour, but I don't know for sure...

Well, that wasn't much of an update, but it's all the news I heard today! Thank you all for your prayers, keep them up!!

  3. So faithful, So constant
    So loving and so true
    So powerful in all you do
    You fill me, You see me
    You know my every move
    You love for me to sing to you

    I know that you are for me
    I know that you are for me
    I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
    I know that you have come down
    Even if to write upon my heart
    To remind me who you are

    So patient, So gracious
    So merciful and true
    So wonderful in all you do
    You fill me, You see me
    You know my every move
    You love for me to sing to you

    I know that you are for me
    I know that you are for me
    I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
    I know that you have come down
    Even if to write upon my heart
    To remind me that
    I know that you are for me...

    I have been listening to this song by kari jobe every morning this week before going into school. I think about my kids who have no hope, but I also think about your mom who has all the hope in the world - and i rejoice that God is FOR HER!! Healing is coming and WE get to watch!

    Love you Sarah!
