My nephew was able to get off the breathing tube and is holding steady. My sister was finally able to hold and comfort him.
Also, my cousin is currently in the hospital welcoming the newest little "Jolly" into the family. I cannot wait to get better and be able to meet him.
My brother-in-law and niece will be flying to China this week to pick up the newest addition to our family. He is going to be such a blessing and he already has so much of our thoughts and love.
Stanley Lindquist stated, "God allows us to experience the low points in life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underneath them." This past year God has taught me so much about compassion. This illness has given me such a heart for those who are suffering. Many people my age are so busy with life, that we forget that people are carrying such tragic burdens. Also, we think our small burdens are so much heavier than they really are. What we need is a little perspective (although I wish the Lord could teach me lessons with a little less perspective LOL). My prayers and thoughts have changed drastically in the last year of my life. I thank God for showing me how much of a difference I can make to those in need.
Here's to wishing everyone a MUCH happier year!! :-)
