Smiling Again

 We have had some pretty rough days in the last week. It just seemed like one dilemma after another. Then, two days ago, it just seemed like we turned a corner. They identified what they thought is the cause of the fever and started treating it. His fever began to drop and his spirits began to lift.

Josh needs to walk to clear his lungs of things that might be causing the infection. Last night he was pretty week but agreed to walk. We went up to the observation deck of the building. The sun was setting and there was a patient playing the piano that is up on that floor. His mom was singing while his dad photographed the two of them. She sang beautifully and the sweet melody wafted through the air. It was surreal. It was almost as if we were simply out for a stroll. The only blatant reminder that there was something amiss was his mask and the IV poll,  that has become Josh's constant companion.

We are still unsure as to what reason our Lord has for us not being able to return home yet, but we know He has one.

Dear Lord, help us to walk in a daily dependence on you. Thank you for some good days. Thank you for our dear friends and family that continue to walk this journey with us.
