12/24 - late morning

If you prayed for rest for us, job well done.  We did not wake up until almost 9am.  Just now, we got a call from Sam's nurse that they are taking him to surgery for the tracheostomy and feeding tube now.  We wanted to let you know that before we headed in, should you be in a praying place right now.  Aaron said that his blood pressure stabilized during the night, and that is good.

Our hope carries us on, and we cannot help but feel like something big is about to happen.  You have supported us so fiercely that it has become almost tangible to us. Throughout all of this, we know that you are all busy with your own Christmas preparations and celebrations.  We are grateful to you for including us in your thoughts and prayers. It is our wish that you all may have a very Merry Christmas.
    

This is two years old, but it's the most recent Christmas pic I have where we are all appropriately attired.  Merry Christmas!

  7. There are just really no words other than love, prayer, healing, peace and did I mention Love? All continue in a huge way. I know for you nothing feels normal or right- but I wish for you all a Merry Christmas- filled with the fruit of all the anticipation of the Christ Child being born. I love you all, am humbled by you and your family- that strong circle of LOVE. "Go tell it from the Mountain- that Jesus Christ is born".

    As I light advent candles, I'm reminded that Jesus is the light of the world who comes into the darkness of our lives and gives us hope. We are never alone.
