Beautiful words

Isaac woke up around 6:00 AM this morning calling for me.  He asked for water and then said the most beautiful words that I have never before heard come from his lips: "I'm going back to bed Mommy."  I put him on the potty, brought him some water, kissed his head and left him to go back to sleep.  I thought I would hear his voice again in a few minutes but it was around 7:00 AM when he next called out.  That being said, he also picked today to not nap.  When he finally convinced me that his crying would not stop, I took him his Bible story books and let him have quiet time until 3:00 PM and he was very quiet.

Our nurse had to return home early this morning as he wasn't feeling well so my parents came over and helped out.  They came tonight with the van and loaded it up with the stroller and oxygen tanks.  I think this is a good decision to have Isaac go.  One of the secrets he whispered in my ear today was, "I am going with Grandma and Grandpa and Mommy to the hospital to see Baby Josiah."  He was pretty excited. 

We are leaving early and I have packing to do so I'll say good night and ask for your prayers.

1. May this visit result in good imaging so that we can know what's going on with Josiah's veins and heart and find out if there are any obstructions causing him to be extra puffy.  We'll need Josiah to be quite still and calm.

2. May the needles for the blood work and the IV be inserted on the first try and work well.

3. May Josiah have peace and not be afraid.

4. May the doctor have wisdom regarding his medications and next steps.

5. May Isaac enjoy the day and may we have safe travels. 

6. May God be glorified.

Thanks for your prayers!

Blessings,

Elizabeth

Psalm 103:11-12

¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
