We did an apnea test this afternoon. Her lungs were not able to handle it and the test was not completed. We did not have direction on how to proceed. The family and friends present began to pray. Merlin was feeling very confused and stepped out of the room. Directly Dr. Bob came back in and said he was made aware that the test had been performed incorrectly and he wanted to repeat it. The repeat test is scheduled for 4 pm today.
We are calling our brothers and sisters in the Lord to rise up and seek God! If you can't rise up and earnestly seek God's face we urge you to fall down and search your heart before the Lord.
Merlin and Mary Lu

ReplyDeletewe are praying...
ReplyDeleteYou are in our prayers and here is a poem that came to my mind today and you just fit! I hope it blesses you!!By James Russell Lowell
ReplyDeleteTHE SNOW had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock 5
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with Carrara
Came Chanticleer’s muffled crow, 10
The stiff rails softened to swan’s-down,
And still fluttered down the snow.
I stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work of the sky,
And the sudden flurries of snow-birds, 15
Like brown leaves whirling by.
I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood. 20
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
And I told of the good All-father
Who cares for us here below.
Again I looked at the snow-fall, 25
And thought of the leaden sky
That arched o’er our first great sorrow,
When that mound was heaped so high.
I remembered the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud like snow, 30
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scar that renewed our woe.
And again to the child I whispered,
“The snow that husheth all,
Darling, the merciful Father 35
Alone can make it fall!”
Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her;
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under deepening snow. 40
