This evening has been beautiful, restful, emotional, difficult...all at the same time. Mary Lou requested that her friends, Mimy & Wilma, come to sing. They came and they SANG! Brothers and sisters, it was heavenly. Jesus is in Kira's room!
Kira has been moved to a more private room. Mom Mary Lou held Kira in her arms for awhile during the singing. Right now Daddy Merlin is holding little Kira. Daddy is sleeping. It looks so natural. Merlin always has been the best at putting Kira to sleep.
The lab reports show that Kira had a serious bacterial infection that her body could not handle. Kira's condition remains basically the same. Keep praying for peace for Merlin and Mary Lou and all of us.

Dear Merlin and MaryLu,
ReplyDeleteWe just wanted to let you know we're holding you, your family and especially your precious Kira in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts ache for you as you walk through this valley. We're trusting our Faithful Father to supply His strength, wisdom, comfort and peace to you, just as He's promised. We pray you'll continue to experience that peace that passes our understanding as our Father holds you all in the palm of His hand and works His perfect will for your lives.
Denny and Vicki (Joe's sister and brother-in-law; we met you at Joe and Barb's home just before Kira was born)
Just holding you close again this morning in our thoughts and prayers!! This song has been such a comfort to us already:
ReplyDeleteOft the way to the goal seems so weary and long
Trials almost take away my song,
Then we sigh and we cry and we ask, "Father, why,
Does this life my wishes all deny."
"My ways, my child, are not your ways,
My thoughts are higher than thine;
Let me lead you each step of this long weary day,
Let me clasp thy trembling hand in mine."
So I'll leave all to Him
He has promised to share
All my load and every care to bear,
"There is joy in my heart and on my lips a song,
Even tho' Lord I don't understand."
Praying comfort for all of you!!
Love,
Esther Eichorn
