Summer challenge - patience!

Today, we were able to receive Dad out of the hospital and he is now back at home here in Moberly and doing much better. With the new stents, his heart is having more oxygen and he has more energy. He will need to have two more stents inserted in a few weeks so we are very grateful that his heart was strong enough to endure.

We called the Home of God's Love this evening and Bev Skiles said that Raena is doing much better yet still had a rather high white blood cell count showing infection but that it was getting lower. She should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow and they are taking many tests to discover what is causing her seizures. Right now, it appears they are triggered by fevers. She was diagnosed this time with acute pneumonia. Bev also said that sometimes the adoption process takes longer than we anticipate and that it could be August before we receive the final word.

So, we are trusting in the Lord's direction and trying desperately to control our own expectations. (Proverbs 16:9) Regardless, it is going to be a long summer!
