Lessons from the 10th Floor: The importance of family

On Wednesday Cameron spent most of his day waiting for and having a sedated MRI on his brain and leg to check for infection.  We were starting to be very exhausted and God sent us a couple that Rick had stayed with when he did Biblical counseling training in St Louis last year.  They met with us and prayed with us while we waited for Cameron to get out of recovery.  We were relieved at the end of the day to find that there was no infection in either..being here is full of ups and downs ..sometimes moments apart!  Cameron made it through the night with a slight fever that was able to be under control and we thanked God for that!

On Thursday we were so excited because our kids were coming to visit for a few days and we had not seen them since Sunday morning!  We are so proud of our gang at home..doing laundry and cleaning, caring for their younger siblings, managing school etc.  They have pulled together and sacrificed.  They have worked well under trial.  We could not wait to see each other and despite his food/drink restrictions that day, Cam was able to help us get a few little things for the kids to put in gift bags for their arrival and then smile and play with them for an hour.

Family...it's so important...that's why Rick sits with me in a hospital room so we can do this together..dropping everything else for the sake of the one who needs us most while still praying for God's care over our gang at home.  We loved being able to see each other during this visit and can't wait til we can be home again together.
