Sunrise

(Original appeared April 17, 2016)

As I watch the absolutely beautiful sunrise this Sunday morning so soon after Easter, my thoughts instantly roam to what the scene must have been like for the ladies who discovered the empty tomb on that first Easter morning. I’m glad that He cared that much for us, that He’s holding us right now through all of this.
So far, things have been well for J-dub. We hope to have a full update later this morning. But he tolerated his blood transfusion well. He even “pinked up” a bit with the nice new dose of fresh blood. Deb and I plan to speak to the nurses and “press” them gently to allow us more opportunities for touch. Laying our hands gently on his legs, or allowing him to grab our fingers is a two-way benefit we believe. We’ll try to post some pictures of those experiences for you. Deb is doing well. She’s been sleeping at home every night, and typically heads into the hospital for morning assessment between 6-7am. That’s the time when so much information is available. It really sets up her day, knowing what’s been going on. The hospital staff is wonderful, and they share everythingabout Jacob.
That’s all for now. We hope you all have a great day today! -R
