March 10

Facebook post from Patrick

"Walk by Faith, not by sight. As you take steps of Faith, depending on Me, I will show you how much I can do for you.....The issue is not your strength but Mine, which is limitless. By walking close to Me, you can accomplish My purposes in My strength."
We have continued to progress and happy to report that we were able to meet up with a few from our Arizona Army!
Molly Mac, a friend from NLXF, surprised us with a short visit in the healing garden yesterday. It was soooo great to see a friendly Cedar Valley face. She even provided us a Starbucks gift card for future smoothies and a gift for our special Starbucks employee Ruthie. I said to Jamie, "Honestly, who does that, who would think to give a gift to a complete stranger that I mentioned one time in a FB post". Jamie's response was perfect, "Molly Mac does". Thank you Molly for shining your light!
A very good friend of ours Angie Haskovec slipped up to our room and dropped off a gift basket for us filled with Jamie's favorites. I unfortunately missed her, but it speaks volumes of her as she provided for our family while 29 weeks pregant. You can see more of her storyhttp://haskovecstwolittleangels.blogspot.com/?m=1.
Lastly, I had the opportunity to visit old neighbors of ours from Apollo St. Max and Gwen lived two houses down from us and our girls frequent their driveway as a turn around point with their bikes and little cars. Max and Gwen took very fondly to our girls and served as almost another set of grandparents for our kids. It was soooo unbelievably nice to see them. As we start to make plans on how we are going to get back to Iowa, they have offered to take some of our items back with them. As we sit here today, we will be flying home....as to when, we hope sometime next week.
As you can see our army continues to provide and we could not be more grateful for every ones generosity and genuine care for us.
Jamie update- PT and OT went well yesterday. Although she did vomit at 430 am, the steroid that was administered yesterday helped to reduce her vomiting and give her an added boost. Her stamina grew substantially yesterday. Step by step we are getting there...it just takes time.
Specific Prayers for Jamie's double vision to improve and reduced nausea would be greatly appreciated.
Do Better.
Be Better.
