Biggest Need

MONEY

It's not glamorous. It's not pretty. It's not fun. It's not creative. It's not ingenious. It's not smart. It's not comical.

It is endearing. It is powerful. It is helpful. It is necessary. It is provision. It is humbling. It is impactful. It is peace-providing.

Round 3: Day 2

So, Demps was up early this morning. Poor Daddy.
The report was a positive one, praise God.
Sawyer and I got to CHOC close to 11am. We met Daddy and Dempsey in the playroom where Demps was playing Connect 4 with Princess Jasmine (from Aladdin). Then some wii, some air hockey with Daddy and then a new friend named Hunter. Hunter is in treatment for a brain tumor (post surgery). Sweet 6 1/2 yr old boy! I know he would want me to say the 1/2 part... you know, it matters to these kiddos.
Back to the room for lunch.
Then Dempsey passed out. For like 3 hours passed out. I personally think his body is catching up from being without food for 20 hours (Mon-Tues) because of his lumbar puncture procedure and then sleeping off anesthesia so long.
He's awake now and SLOWLY eating some quesadilla and drinking his Aloe Vera Plus juice. All that, of course, while watching Leap Frog videos.
I'm hoping that he gets some energy so we can go visit with our friend Ella across the hall. She's 5 too and is dealing with Ewings Sarcoma. She's a pint-sized powerhouse though. Please keep Ella, and all the patients here, in your prayers.

I'll keep you posted. If you're on social media, Facebook and Instagram often have more photos floating around. I will try to get a photo post up tonight.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT!! We cannot do this without you. You are, quite literally, the hands and feet of Jesus in our lives. We are grateful for you!
