Let me begin by saying how your prayers have held all of us tightly when we've needed them, and stopped the tears when they appear, and chase away the fear that keeps trying to invade our peace. Rob even told our pastor yesterday, that he could actually "feel" the prayers that were washing over him and lifting him up to rest in God's hands throughout all that he is enduring.
Yesterday started out wonderfully, with happiness and hope dancing around the room with us! Such a shower of relief! Then the music gradually slowed down, to a stark halt, and we were letting the fear take over for a while. Just a little while. Comfort came with an angel of a nurse named Wendy, and from the love of a family friend who explained things the way we needed to hear them, so we could understand what was happening, and what to expect. The evening ended back with the music playing, and our calm and reaffirmed spirits in a much better place. The 15+ hours Holly and I were here at the hospital seemed to fly by.
And then began this morning. No music could be heard, only sounds that tear at your heart because you don't know how to help. There are MANY wonderful things happening (great vitals, no more high temp... YEAH!!!), but there are also things not happening that should. The team here is working to figure things out, and they just put in a call to the doctor - for help, for a plan of action.
So what we humbly ask, is that you send up a prayer to our Lord of Lords and King of Kings for wisdom for all the team of doctors, nurses, and specialists that are working with Rob - so they can get things back on the track we hope for. And for God's peace to continue to surround Rob, to heal him inside and out, to wipe away the pain, and let him hear the music again.
When we say "Thank you," I hope you can see in those words the thousands of other words and thoughts that are SO grateful for you, for your love, your prayers, and your support... physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially... When I try to find the words big enough to hold everything I feel, all I do is cry.
In Love and In Peace,

Cheri...I need to tell u a little story....It will entail me airing some of my dirty laundry...My father in law has always paid the taxes on our up north cottages...he stopped 2yrs ago due to a mix up unbeknownst to me and my cottages were going into foreclosure...I didn't find out right away but did recently...I've been working overtime like crazy trying to make up the money & while driving home yesterday was praying to hit a lottery or something or I would have to borrow the money from my parents, which I desperately did not want to do....then I felt ashamed for praying for something so material and my thoughts & prayers went right to you & Rob who needed them desperately. I got home a few mins later & in the mail discovered an account that was my late husbands I had forgotten about. There was enough money in the to cover all the back taxes, and as you can imagine, I cried. You know how I feel about my places up north. I guess what I am saying, is that just gave me the proof that even for little things, prayers work. So I KNOW, that Rob will get better despite any setbacks. And I am done being frivolous with my prayers & directing them right to you both. I am here if you need me and as always...loving, healing thoughts & prayers for you both....sharon
