Long Rainy Day and Henry Update...prayers needed!

Here is the latest update from Jessica:

Ian and I are writing today to request specific prayer on behalf of Henry "Hercules." We've been told his tumor is very vascular. It is so intertwined with the blood supply that 3 liters of blood products had to be transfused into his small body last Tuesday before the surgery was halted. The nurse who received him in the PICU that night said she'd never seen blood loss of that magnitude associated with that surgery. She was surprised we still had him with us. She was surprised at how good he looked. His nurse last night was delighted to see his strength and alertness as she hadn't seen him in a few days. His tremendous progress now and his miraculous survival of the surgery is no doubt due to YOUR prayers answered by the ONE who loves us perfectly. Now will you please join us in another prayer request? A few of us feel led to pray that this vicious tumor be cut off from it's blood supply, that it would supernaturally shrink away from that source of nourishment and growth. Thank you in advance. Love & blessings.

Please continue to pray for Henry and his family!

As I read that post I really don't have much to say.  I could complain about how long of a day today was with parent conferences and how the weather was just miserable today...but after reading Jessica's post...all of my complaints are so trivial.  I have nothing to complain about...instead look around you and be thankful that all that you have- the good and the bad.  The good things in your life are to remind you of all the blessings you have.  The bad things in your life are there to teach you something...whatever it may be.  Every moment is a gift so take advantage of it.

Olivia and her daddy spent a lot of time together today....here is some of their fun!
