Giving Thanks

Hey everyone, it's Rachel. First of all, I want to say how much your calls, texts, and Facebook messages mean to us. This by far, has been the most stressful and trying time in my entire life and your kind words kept us going when we were physically and emotionally drained. So thank you for everything. There is nothing new to report since Brooke's last post. We have finally gotten comfortable in room 7309 at VCH and have about 2 hours of sleep in us and that feels wonderful. I'm not being picky with my sleep at this point..I'll take what I can get. The antibiotics are running through Mason's IV and they are staying ahead of his pain with meds so he is resting comfortably. A team is working on his case trying to figure out what in the world is wrong with my child. They have been upfront and flat out told us they are just as stumped as we are. I guess I will go with the old adage that no news is good news. We continue to trust that God's hand is on the situation and he will heal Mason completely. We will update you if we hear anything else. Thanks again for your concerns, words, and most importantly your prayers.

Rachel, we are so glad to hear it isn't meningitis. I won't pretend to know how it feels to watch your child suffer like this, but I remember when I was really sick while I was pregnant with Brennan and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. It took two hospitals, a visit to my doctor, countless procedures (some of which could have been really harmful to an unborn baby), and several days to diagnose me with pleurisy. It was a terrifying time. BUT... God had his hand on me and I somehow felt HIS peace through it all. And that is what I am praying for you and Eric.

If you guys want visitors or anything at all, call me. I know you probably don't want or need anything, but I'm offering again because acts of service is my love language and I can't help myself. :-)

In the mean time, I'll keep praying for you and Mason every time I think of you.

Sending you lots of love -

Melissa
