Taking its toll

I am not as good as Sarah about describing details but I will make this short today. Carter is just not feeling well and it's beginning to take its toll on mom and dad. So we decided to stay at the hospital tonight. You never want to see your child in pain. It's even harder when there is absolutely nothing you can do to console your child. It seems as if the fluid on his belly combined with a blood infection has made him miserable. He doesn't have his big wide eyes or spontaneous smiles anymore. It is, as Sarah said, as if we are making no progress at all. This is becoming more difficult and Sarah and I need your prayers for Carter as well as ourselves. You all have been more than generous and given us more than we deserve. For that we say, thank you. We are humbled at the love all of you have shown and praise God for it. I know that God has His reasons and remembering Job has helped me with this. God is not unjust. He is Holy and just. He will be glorified in all of this in His time.

Please know that we are all praying for little Carter. We are praying that he is held tighter than ever in Jesus' arms. We are praying that his doctors are given the wisdom to know what to do. That as parents, you are lifted up, sustained by God's love. For every one of us that posts a comment, there are dozens (at least) that don't post because we just don't know what to say, knowing that there are no words that can take away the pain and suffering. Nothing we can do seems to help so we pray harder. You were the main topic of our Sunday school class today (Liberty Christian). And even though it doesn't make it any easier to watch your son so sick and in pain, you truly help us to see God's presence everywhere. Thank you for that.
