Loyal Sister Turned Soiled Sister

Last night Andrew asked Ariel to sleep in his room. She said ok. He has had a hard time getting into a good sleep pattern. He couldn't sleep so he asked Ariel to lay down next to him. It worked and they both fell asleep. When she woke up, his bag had leaked on them both. The nurse gave her some hospital pants and got things situated. She had a good laugh! Randall stayed with Andrew today. They watched some sports, and took a walk outside. Uncle Scott, Aunt Robyn and G-ma Martin visited. I went home to spend some time with the other kids. I haven't been able to be with them for a long time. I spent a couple hours with Aaron on his computer. I played a little piano for Ariel and did some dancing with Amanda. It was a really nice day. In the evening we all piled into the car and headed up to the hospital. Randall and Andrew were watching the Dallas game. The nurse stopped me to tell me that Andrew is doing great and that he expect good things for him. Healing takes time but we are so happy with the direction that things are headed in. We ended the day with our usual family prayer. Our family is so grateful for the blessings that have been poured out on us. These blessings have taken many shapes i.e., our neighbor who lets our dog, Lacy, run around in their yard with their dog, Max, or, the wonderful relief society sisters a.k.a. the merry maids. What would we all do withou the relief society? We have met a lot of different families who are in the same boat as we are. The details are different. Maybe it is a newborn baby with internal defects or a 21 year old handicapped missionary who has had six different surgeries. They are such an inspiration of faith and hope. This is an amazing place of healing!!
