Grateful

Good evening,

Mom and I are so grateful for all of you. I'm kind of obsessed with all of the followers and am really astonished at how many people are following this blog, it rocks my world! We are always praying and we appreciate all of your prayers as well. We have come to terms with the fact that we have no control over the situation and are just really trying to leave it in God's hands.

Dad had a slight fever tonight, 100.6, and the night nurse gave him Tylenol. They said his white blood count was up earlier today which means he is likely fighting off an infection. His stomach is still swollen. He is still sedated heavily and is resting comfortably. They won't restart feeding until he has gotten rid of whatever is hanging out in his stomach. If it is a baby, he better get a big chunk of change!

Buster is on his way home now, please pray for his safe return. He just hung out with us all day which was very nice! Jason Moore and Tim Millenbine are here too. We haven't seen them yet but are so glad that they came. We certainly don't want everyone to come up just because we are here, but it is nice to have visitors to help us cope and to encourage us! People have been so kind. My dad is a truly remarkable person to me and I love and care for him so much! It is wonderful to see how many other people care about him and our family too. We are overwhelmed (in a good way) by all of you. My mom wants me to add, in case you didn't know, we love you and thank you all so very much!

Tomorrow it will be a week since dad had his surgery. It is funny how the body works. The brain is good right now, which is a blessing, but his body is a little ticked off about something. I hope his body loses the attitude and just starts to cooperate with us! Maybe there will be better news tomorrow.

Thanks & Love,

Cejae (& Cathy, Adam, Buck & Mel)

  1. So glad Jason & Tim made it there safely. We have all been praying for them as they ventured to the Windy City again to minister to all of you. (not a favorite place to visit by the folks down here.) Wish things were better here so that we could come up, but we are there in every thought and prayer. Waiting to hear again and this time....it will be great news. Love ya.D

  2. Cejae, Cath, Bucky and Mel- it was nice to spend the day with you, I just got home safe and sound. I am looking forward to tomorrows updates as I am sure they will be positive. Hang in there guys-you know I'm only a phone call and a short drive away if you need anything!

  3. Hey CeJae, I just wanted to check on all of you this morning before I go to GalCo. They all ask about you and your family and are sending you love and prayers. Again, let me know if there is anything I can do on my end of the world.
    You know I luv ya (David's voice) Through all of this make sure you and your mom take care of yourselves too. Hopefully, today will bring good news.

  4. Cejae - It's wonderful to see that you are able to maintain your sense of humor, what with John's baby and all. You're up to 60 followers...awesome!! Cathy's RLC family misses her; I think Barb Hampton is in mourning. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you, your mom, your homes, or Adam (does he need food or anything?).
    I love you guys, Bam
