Brooke's infection looks much better this afternoon. She developed cellulitis yesterday that had us worried, but the antibiotics seem to be doing the trick on all of it. Her leg looks better and the swelling on her face has gone down considerably. These infections just take time! I'm praying for continued (fast) healing. She's been happy and active today and is driving us both nuts wanting to go to Ma's house NOW. That will be ok for about an hour until she starts asking for mom and dad. 7 days of that may drive all of the grandparents insane! Ha. Pray for comfort for Brooke; both physical comfort and mental comfort. Mom and dad are her security blanket and more so with recent illnesses. Also pray for strength for our caregivers. Physical strengh and mental strength. This is going to be a challenge for everyone.
Mike and I leave on our trip early in the morning. We fly from Amarillo to Dallas and then straight to Honolulu. I'm getting excited, but it's hard not to let the worry drive you. I've been praying about this and asking God to carry the load for me. I forget to turn things over to Him sometimes. Please pray for a safe journey for us. For a relaxing week where we can rejuvenate ourselves so that we come home - we're better parents. Our batteries definitely need to be recharged! Thank you for the prayers and for your friendship!
Mahalo. Aloha. And we'll see you in a week!!
