We Are Home

We made it home Friday afternoon. Our neighbors made a sign for Micah (and were all playing outside to welcome him home!) and my in-laws had their housekeeper clean our house. We walked in to a wonderful smelling home complete with balloons and tulips from Micah's great grandma! It was a wonderful homecoming. However, we weren't here long before the tears began. Micah has had a hard time being home. I think the realization that he really can't do the things he used to is hitting home, and it is hard for him. He gets frustrated that he has to rest all the time, he is getting discouraged and thinking that he will never be able to do the things he once could do physically. We are trying to encourage him and keep his spirits up, and we are praying for God's peace for him. Also, we were awakened last night to cries coming from him. He began throwing up after midnight and was still unable to keep anything down this morning. He is resting well now, and we are hoping that this is just a product of all the medicine and not another virus for him to fight. I am unsure what we are going to do about getting his medicine down, and at this point are waiting for a call from the doctor. I will continue to update as I am able. You have all been so wonderful and faithful in praying for our family. It is a challenge to raise three small children under normal circumstances, but I am sure you can imagine, this takes it to a whole new level. Computer time is scarce. I also have lots of pictures (some of a little girl who had a big day yesterday-first solids!, and many of our sweet Micah) that I am hoping to get uploaded today.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! -Psalm 118:24
