Home

We had a very sweet trip to see our treasures afar.   Their home is wonderful and we made lots of memories. We sure love those two!! The drive was about 25 hours one way.   The kids do fantastic, truly fantastic.   They color, play with little things and listen to me read.  I…

The ICU Waiting Room

We have never had to sit in an ICU waiting room  for very long, until Karl’s accident. I had no clue what it would be like, and, frankly, the powerful emotions that have been present are hard to put into words. Both Dw and I agreed, the thoughts and feelings that whiz through your heart and…

Ugh. Correction

Please forgive me. I completely misunderstood. All along I had understood that to go to the rehab hospital Karl had to do two commands in a row. So when Vicki texted me that he could go I figured he had fulfilled that. But, he had not. (Yet, anyway.)  The docs after evaluating him are comfortable…

Good News Already!!

The day of prayer and fasting has hardly begun and there is already MIRACULOUmeS news! Bear with me…I’m typing from my phone….we’re 130 miles into our trip home….and I just couldn’t wait till the hotel tonight…. First, Karl’s surgery is already over and he’s done well.  Thank you soooo much for praying. Second,  I am…

The Zoo!

The zoo animals were screamin’ for a visit…… so we had to go… Aren’t porcupines the coolest?   I am so fascinated by them! So fun to look at pictures of Jubilee… thriving in our family… Oh, if only 163 million others had the opportunity for family…. The sharks were amazing…. So proud of our son,…

Two Days From Now…

The latest report from the hospital: Karl’s fever is down to normal… Yippee Jesus! Karl was quite agitated all night long.  This morning they found that his catheter had been blocked since sometime yesterday. Hmmm. No wonder he was agitated! Very stressful.   ugh.  We are so thankful for each person who will be joining…

Ruby Grace

Many have asked how our precious gem Miss R is doing. She has been in a nutrition ward at a hospital in Kampala.  She was put there in an effort to ‘beef her up’ for the necessary surgery to alleviate the hydrocephalus.    Last week she was taken to see the doctors who are connected…

It’s Gettin’ Late…

You guys are so amazing! It has been so comforting to know that so many of you are still burdened with us.   It is also tremendously touching to hear that some of your children and spouses are asking how Karl is. So very, very comforting. Reminds me of the scripture: “Help carry each others…

A Limb & a P.S.

I just talked to Autumn. Karl has been very restless, very. BUT when she is with him, he is peaceful. The nurse even told Bob and Vicki last night: “When she is in here, he is sooo peaceful.” Sure enough, he was restless and it was Autumn’s turn to go in. In walked Autumn,  who…
