Jay's first 24 hours post surgery were very difficult. However...onto better news!!! The next 24 hours his recovering has been fantastic. His strong body has aided him in this wonderfully short recovery time. He probably will be coming home Tuesday. It is amazing what a healthy lifestyle coupled with love/fasting/prayers will do for a person.

Our understanding of this new life that we have just FALLEN into is still an unknown. We don't understand the circus that is swirling around us or the roller coaster that we have awaken on. We are still in the midst of making heads or tails of this whole situation. However, every day that passes we learn something new. Lessons that allow us to see more clearly of what our focus should be or lessons that teach us how to gain strength for this journey. These lessons come because of the DETAILS that God has applied to HIS great plan of happiness. He doesn't just care about us as a GROUP, he cares for us as individuals AND then he cares for the individuals in GREAT DETAIL!!! We are experiencing the DETAILS OF HIS LOVE!

Little tender mercies from heaven fall like snow all around us. They are sparkling and glorious and provide a strong and constant reminder of God's love for us. In this HELL that we find ourselves in (because it TRULY STINKS!!!) Father has provided us with sweet pieces of HEAVEN, and they are absolutely delicious!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The emails, the posters, the love letters, the cards, the voice mails, your sweet kindnesses are SOOOOO appreciated. I print off the emails and take them to the hospital where I read them to Jay. We are both so touched and supported by your love and prayers. Your actions have made and are making a difference in our lives. May God bless you for your generosity of spirit in our behalf!

We love you all,
Susan

You are both so loved by all in my family. I cannot believe how much support your strong spirits have been to me over the past several troublesome years. What a comfort to have people you can look to and KNOW that they are favored of the Lord. You are in our prayers daily and if you have a need, please ask. Thank you for living your lives the way the Lord wants so that some of us (meaning me) who feel unable to do so can see that it works and that it's worth it. I love you both.

I'm so glad you started a blog. Martin and I have you both in our thoughts and prayers, all the time. We love you and only wish we could be there to lend our support. By through cyber space at least, you have it and in spirit. We love you both.
