Baby Steps! Natasha was able to get up several times today and did really well. A huge answer to prayer happened this afternoon... the brace people showed up... a RARE THING, if ever on Sat... took her brace and fixed it! We are SO thankful! Without that brace we took steps "backwards" for several hours with the pain VERY INTENSE... so though we are thankful we are SO exhausted... we need your prayers, for Natasha hasn't had 1 winks sleep all day, well til now at nearly 5 pm. It's so exhausting to be ill. The Lord knew that there would be NO WAY we could have made it today without the rest that He granted last night. Please DO cover her with prayer tonight. The nights are always worse. She isn't tolerating the needed pain meds well, for they make her dream... sometimes happy dreams... but often dreams that make your heart just want to bawl for her. We DO need the precious blood of Jesus to take away the dreams and the side effects of the drugs... she has to have them, for the pain is SO intense. We are thankful for the times that she says something funny... and we usually laugh like crazy, just because we are SO weary. Thanks for all your prayers and support... for those of you checking and can't comment for one reason or another too. Your prayers mean so much right now, for we are beyond numb! Weary, Weepy, yet praising our Wonderful God for his many blessings! (I'd never make a good preacher, can't even think of a 3 point outline! :)

We are glad with the progress, THRILLED THAT THE BRACE PEOPLE SHOWED UP...PRAISE THE LORD!!!

We will be PRAYING that God will take away the sad and scary affects of the pain meds. Looking forward to hearing how God answers prayer!!!

The living room couch that we bought last Wed. and was supposed to be delivered today...the store called and there is a problem, and we can't have it. We are sad, but know that all things work together for good to those who love God!!

Lots of prayers heading your way!!!

Your third point you made: worship.
You are worshiping even though you are not feeling like it....and that is true praise. Will be praying for you all to get some rest. Love.

We are praying for both Natasha and you. May God give you the strength you need to be her support right now. And we pray that God would touch Natasha in a such a special way and give her the comfort she needs during this difficult, difficult time. God knows and God cares! We love you!

Laura and Daryl, I'm praying for y'all this Sunday morning and asking God to BE THERE in whatever y'all are facing today! Trust you had a decent night and that the Lord helped Natasha and y'all get some sleep.
I'm home from church with 2 sick babies, but I think they are slowing but surely getting better. Praise the Lord!
Love y'all bunches!!
