Update

This is from Autumn again. Liz and I just received an update from Dad. They are admitting Mom to the hospital, and a CT scan has revealed that she has bleeding in the brain. The doctors have indicated that this is a very serious situation, especially because it requires that she stop blood thinners immediately. We have clearly entered a new phase in this journey, and we continue to covet your prayers. Mom is currently resting comfortably.

It is 4:00 in the morning, and Liz and I are still trying to recover from the events of the evening. I was sitting with Mom at her bedside went she went into the seizure, and it was so scary for Dad, Liz and me to witness. Thankfully though, all three of Liz's kids slept through the entire ordeal! We all love Mom so much, and hate to see her suffer. But I cannot express to you how fully reliant she is on the Lord right now. Just this evening she told me how much she has changed and grown in the Lord this year. The Lord is truly her portion, and she will not take personal credit for one ounce of her strength. What an incredible first-hand testimony for us as her children to witness!

Thank you for your ongoing love, prayers and support. Only the Lord knows what is to come next, but we can all rest assured that HE is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
