Day 4

Samuel's fever is back and, once again, there are more questions than answers. The doctors are doing more blood cultures and have ordered an ultrasound. In addition to the all-over body aches from the fever, Samuel is in a lot of pain from the drain in his back.

I am needing to be reminded of a time when Samuel was healthier and happier so I have included the photo below. I have missed seeing his dimples!

Please tell Samuel how much I am wishing for a return to good health for him. And know too that my thoughts are with you and all of your wonderful family. I wish a big virtual hug could help!

Dear Samuel, Nancy and family,
Our Lord is the great physician. Remember: The lame walk, the blind see, the dumb talk, and the dead live. Our hope is in the Lord always and forever!
We're praying fervently for an angel-specialist in this kind of work. And for a miracle that will surprise you and the staff, the gift of healing for Samuel today, if it's His will. "Thy will be done".
Abundant grace and peace be with you today. The love of Christ is eternal.

Dear Nancy and family,

I am speechless and in tears as I have read through your blog entries for the first time. Deb Gaynor sent your link to me. I feel God's strength in every word I read. We continue to pray for your family.

Our father in heaven
Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and forever
Amen.....

We love you and pray for your family!
With loving thoughts,
The Goodling family
