Our time at the hospital was not fun and there were complications, but there was prayer. The previous entry can tell you about the complications, but this is to talk about the prayer. We had multiple people calling us to get updates to pray for us and pass on the prayer requests to others. We had at least four churches praying for Macayla and us and many individuals. This procedure was not major relative to many procedures we could face or that other children face very often. But that does not negate the need for prayer. I find that it is the more mundane difficulties and circumstances of life that wear me down. Give me a crisis and I will pray well and hold up well. I will more likely forget God in the midst of a flat tire or outpatient surgery. We had nurses praying for us. We had family and friends praying for us. We thank all of you for prayers, food, calls and support.
There were some nursing students on the floor while we were there and things worked out for Jennifer to give six or so students a mini-seminar on Battens disease, tube feeding, and patient care. Jennifer loves to educate. As the nursing students were leaving, one stayed behind and asked how she could pray for us. I was impressed a young lady her age had the courage to stay and pray with total strangers. Most college-age students would be too self conscious. She prayed for our family and our marriage. God showed up a lot over the last few days. Check out Jacob's page soon (December) to see how God showed up in his prayer time.
