Jer - Day 5


"What did Mommy bring today???"

This was a very good day for Jeremiah.

He ate regular meals and has started having bowel movements again. The problem is that he is too well to be in the hospital! He is tired of staying on his bed and it is hard to keep him happy because he is feeling so much better. "Let's build a tower."

He will finish his last round of antibiotics today and should be able to check out after lunch.
We are so excited to be heading home. Yesterday for part of the day there were 4 kids in our room and Jeremiah wasn't able to take a nap. Last night 2 of them went home and they added a new baby who cried all night. God has taken good care of us and provided abundantly but there are moments when circumstances are difficult.

I mentioned yesterday that two ladies from our church in Curitiba came to help out. They arrived Tuesday after lunch and so far they have helped James pass out over 300 flyers for our upcoming 5 day club, cleaned my house from top to bottom, made meals for our family, as well as kept up on the laundry. They have been such a blessing to us. "Cafe, anyone?"
Yesterday James got permission from the school just down the street to pass out invitations after school today so we will hand out about 350 more invitations today. The ladies will be helping with that as well.

Keep praying for Jeremiah as he continues to heal and for our 5 day clubs which begin next week. We will be doing one week at our house and one week at David's house.

He looks better and better everyday! Praise the Lord you are coming home today. I am so happy for you all that he is through all of this BEFORE your 5 day club begins. God's timing is so perfect. We will continue to pray for you all.

Praise the Lord also for the wonderful friends you have that were willing to come down and help during this time. What a blessing! Tell them thanks for filling in where I wish I could have been there to help. The body of Christ is amazingly wonderful.

Love you all!

Hi, This is Brazilmom - Karen Swedberg. I didn't know how this works. So, I thought I had better identify the previous comment. We will pray for the VBS too.
