Whew what a day! Kaylan asked me (her hubby) if I could post an update for her. I am not nearly as good at this kind of thing as Kaylan is, so please bare with me. All three of us are exhausted from our adventure at the hospital. None of us slept much last night. Beckett and I took a good afternoon nap after the hospital visit. As usual his anxious mother did not rest that much. Hopefully we can all "catch up" tonight!
Everything went wonderfully with Beckett today. He is such a trooper. We have been amazed at how friendly and personable everyone has been to us. When I say everyone, I mean everyone! All the way from the time we stepped foot inside the Houston airport until the lady that escorted us back to our car after Beckett's procedure. I really feel like the good Lord has been leading us through our entire Journey and allowing us to meet some amazing people! Even the maintenance man that fixed the heater in our hotel room asked if he could pray with us for little Beckett, and if he could add him to his prayer chain at his church....and he did! He prayed right there in our hotel room with us! God taught me an awesome lesson...he showed me what it looks like to be bold and share your faith in Him no matter what the situation or who your company is. We as Christians need to always treat our brothers and sisters like brothers and sisters and not be afraid to ask if we can pray with them, and truly mean it! I have often told people that I would pray for them, but I have never asked if I could pray WITH them...especially complete strangers! I hope one day I can demonstrate that level of boldness. The maintenance man is just one of several who have told us they would pray for us that we have met while on our journey. I really appreciate knowing that my family is surrounded by other Christian families while we are away from home, going through what we are going through, and knowing that they are praying for us. Oh, and I am also thankful the maintenance man was able to fix our hotel room heater...ha! Texas folks and 20 degree weather don't mix that well.
