Faith, Joy, & Perseverence!




Have you ever laid eyes on a more precious miracle? Baby Sam turned one yesterday. This time last year the only thing he was eating was through an NG tube, but yesterday he attacked this cupcake like he had been waiting his whole life for it! He did not hesitate one bit! The bittersweetness of the day was that he was in a booster seat at the foot of his Mommy's hospital bed! He had to make her feel a little better though because he put on a wonderful show! Christine was admitted to a new hospital in Dallas on Tuesday. It is a large teaching hospital, and we have great hope that the One who knows us inside and out will reveal more pieces to the puzzle with new doctors researching her case. Until the answers come, our families long for that miracle as well! We'll have an all out celebration then! Keep her in your prayers!

GO GET 'EM Sam! He is precious for sure. Last year seems so long ago in some ways but I know not for Tine, you and Mindy. We are hoping and praying that just around the "bend" she'll be as good as new. Love you all.

Oh YEA!! I didn't know she had moved to a new hospital but that's so great! Now Dr's with fresh perspective can have a go at her case. We keep praying...praying for answers, a revelation, peace, joy in the midst, and continued FAITH!! We love you guys!
