January 3, 2007 - Pray for nothing...

Seriously . . . pray that they will find nothing! Erik had a post surgery/infection follow-up doctor's appointment yesterday that went well. They said he looks great. One thing that we are going to follow-up on is that he has some small bumps around the incision sight near the base of his neck which we are praying is just scar tissue or glands. We will be following up with his doctors to check these out before they remove his central line. So . . . please pray that these will turn out to be "nothing" to worry about! We ask that you help us pray these away. We also would like to take a moment to thank God for something material He provided over the Christmas season. On more than one occasion, we were surprised to open our front door to find Christmas gifts for our family from "Santa". How exciting this was for our children! What we prepared for - which was a Christmas full of the true meaning and celebration of the season with a splash of "commercial gifts - ended up being more than we ever could have done alone. Our season included a trip to a friends church for a beautiful Christmas program, time in downtown Apex including a horse-drawn carriage ride, a beautiful first Christmas service with our newly formed church, as well as extra packages and gifts we could not have purchased for our family. THANKS to all of our anonymous "Santas"!!!!!!!!!! This may sound like a "broken record", but we really do give thank for all of your prayers and support. We know that God has brought us together so we can together enjoy witnessing his power through the healing of Erik! On another note . . . Love in Christ, Erik's Family
