Update from Elaine
Dear Friends and Family,
Saturday - sleeping in, reading books, order out lunch for Mom, a soak in the bath tub for Kate, taking a nap, visiting with friends. Sounds more like were enjoying a weekend at club med rather than a stay at Children's Hospital. It's been a restful and peaceful day. Kate has had minimal nausea and has managed a few bites at each meal today - we are thankful for each bite of progress with Kate's eating.
We were blessed by visits from friends today - which are always an encouragement. While it's no reflection on our friends:) after a hello Kate has seemed to sleep through the day time visits with adult friends but seems to awake and be alert for the evening visits of her teenage friends:) Either way, both Kate and Mom are thankful for those who have come and helped us pass these days in the hospital.
~Praise for day where the level of nausea was manageable without extra medication.
~Praise that the broviac site is healing and Kate needed no pain medication today.
~Praise for thoughtful nurses who invited Mom to order out lunch with them.
~Praise for the encouragement both Kate and I received from the book of warm wishes and special thoughts and messages written by friends at yesterday's prayer vigil for Kate at Concord.
Requests:
~Please pray that the stems cells moving around Kate's body are "finding their way home" and that they will successfully engraft.
Thank you God for a week filled with miracles, daily evidences of your grace and mercy and the army of prayer warriors you have raised up around us!
Resting in grace,
Elaine

God is simply giving you your rewards for being messengers of his goodness and love. He must smile every minute watching you heal and spread his word. Each day will find you stronger and stronger and before you know it this will all be behind you. How wonderful to keep in touch with you through the blog.
Sending lots of love your way,
PB
