Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!





Luke is finally having output! Yesterday he hadn't had anything in his diaper since early Wednesday morning. Thursday the doctor said she was worried about his kidneys since there was no output and his numbers we watch were going up. I went to lunch just turning Luke over to God once more and praying "whatever your will". I came back from lunch and the nurses were so excited to tell me he had 3cc in his diaper. I just looked at him and once again I felt he was going to make it. This continued the rest of the day with the output numbers going up slowly. By this morning he was having 27cc diapers and even a 31cc diaper! The doctor said this in addition to his lab numbers which had gone back down gave her hope for the kidneys. The infectious disease doctor said he is considering Luke infection-free at this point. They have done some cultures this week and so far nothing has grown. He seemed to have really turned a corner today. We just keep praying for healing and feel God has definitely brought Luke through a tough week. God is so good to listen to us and answer our prayers.






1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circmstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Oh Susan, your faith is such a testimony. Yesterday I wanted so badly to share words of comfort and hope with you. How foolish of me. Today I am once again reminded of the strength, comfort and hope He brings to you. We pray so many times during the day and into the night for God to continue to sustain you. Our love and prayers continue to be with you, Eric, Hogan, Sydney and your family. Cynthia, Mike & Aimee
