Endless days.

Oh how Christy and I and most definitely Hayden long to be out of this place. It just seems never ending and frustrating with all the tongue swelling, needle sticks, suctioning, communication barrier with Hayden, upcoming surgery, and the daily routine that goes on with a patient. There is a little humor, last night Hayden tried so hard not to get a urinary cath that he pointed to some shampoo and wanted me to put it in the jug to make it looked like he did it, unfortunately it didn't work. I'm tired of being here but that is my selfishness coming out, then I look across the room and see a little boy having to go through all the physical pain and that humbles me to no end. I'm so proud of Hayden, he has endured all this pain like a champ, and I know God has a special plan in his life and this journey that we are on. What also humbles me is all the support that we have ,I couldn't imagine going through this alone without God and his people, this I'm forever thankful. All I can say is that God is good all the time.

May God Bless You All,
David

All the time God is good. We will not know why God has let you all go through all of this until we get to heaven but we do know He is with you all right now. Sitting with you, standing with you and being right there with you every step. You are in our prayers tonight and I just ask God to hold Hayden in His arms and that He will lift you all up during the next day. God love and keep you.

David,I pray that your peace will come from the Lord. Remember Prov.3:5&6. You have all been under such stress. It would be better if you could take the pain Hayden has & go through it yourself, but some how God has a purpose in the way things are happening. Maybe God is using this to draw all of us closer to Himself.This is a process of depending on the Lord ourselves. It is a witness to all of us that who is in charge. Would it help at all if John and I came down?

I cannot imagine what all that Hayden and you guys have been through. I do know that I have been praying for Hayden and all of you. God has placed this burden to pray for all of you. Sometimes, I feel as if I am feeling all the things that you are going through. Its hard to explain, just that I think God has allowed me to feel some of these things in order to pray for all of you in the right way. Please know that you are being prayed for from a lot of different people. God is in control and lives will be changed because of the suffering that Hayden had been through and also the things that you as a family have had to endure. God will use all of this. He never lets a hurt go without using it. Don't give up, Don't let Satan have any part of this. To God Be the Glory, Great Things he hath done. And Still is doing. I love you all!
