Update (Kate's Home!)

Though many of you may know what has been going on with our little daughter Kate, I know many of you weren’t aware that she needed to be hospitalized with a moderate case of RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) on Monday night. She was on oxygen for the last 2 and a half days and then grew stronger and for the a 12 hour period starting last night, she was able to get enough oxygen, breathing on her own without the supplemental oxygen.

Just wanted to let you all know that Kate was released from the hospital earlier this afternoon. Her ability to breathe and get enough oxygen on her own was back to a healthy level and she had gone without supplemental oxygen for 12 hours prior to that. We’re so thankful that she and Bethany are home and grateful to our God for so many things that he orchestrated and for his watch care over us!

Thanks for so many moments of prayer! And for those of you who only heard about this in this email, we apologize! Due to both email server issues as well as lack of time, I wasn’t able to get this news out to everybody sooner. I don know though that many of you followed us on facebook and on our blog and we so appreciate that.

It’s been quite a period of time since October of last year (that’s actually when we sent out our last real update) and yet, we know that God never promises ‘Stability’ and ‘Constantcy,’ but He does prove stable Himself and His strength has been sufficient in a time with so many of our own ‘weaknesses.’

Who knows, maybe things will settle down and we’ll be able to get out a real normal monthly update. Praise God with us though for how He’s carried us through this time!
