We woke up this morning after a full eight hours of sleep to bright sunshine. I have a sense that today is going to be a productive day. My "to do" list is ready and I am taking Qavah over to Jenn's for several hours. She is looking forward to playing with Annelise and I am looking forward to coming home to scrub floors. I have those little gray floating fluff balls everywhere and I'm hoping to find them all today and get rid of them.
I read a book yesterday about a couple in China building and expanding foster care homes to care for hard to place Chinese orphans. After reading of their heroic efforts to save one of the orphans who had been found in a field badly burned, I had my energy restored. When all of their efforts failed it was apparent that the Lord went before them, changed the scene, and battled for the health and safety of the little boy named Levi. The government of China, the Shriner's Hospital, and American Airlines, were compelled by the story of the abandoned baby, and all moved in record time to save him. Reading the account lifted my own flagging spirits.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We need that encouragement. In some ways dealing with HPS has gotten harder for Kathryn. I think the realization that the journey is just beginning is a hard reality. I whisper, "God have mercy on her," often. I know you do too. It helps me to read the accounts of miracles wrought in the lives of others. Levi's story has helped me get back up to continue the good fight because I was reminded that I am not alone.
