It is impossible to express our gratitude to those of you who visited us in the hospital and the many more who provided support, encouragement, offers of help, incredible food, and most importantly prayer!!
Miracle is a word we are hearing a lot these days. Early on in this journey we were told we would need a miracle for Sheldon to survive. Then we were told we would need a miracle for Sheldon to survive without suffering extensive brain damage. Well, we brought Sheldon home yesterday... he is very weak and tired but the same friendly, caring and smart boy he has always been!! We believe God used the wonderful staff in the PICU, surrounded by your many prayers and good wishes, to perform a miracle for Sheldon.
At a very dark time, when we felt no hope, God spoke to us and said “It is YES, unless and until I say no. LIVE IN MY YES." We both felt a tremendous peace come over us. After that we would say "right now, today, Sheldon is still with us, we will celebrate that." The very next day was the first time there was a slight improvement in his condition. You all know the rest of the story! We expect there will be more bumps along the path, but we continue to trust God as he works His will in Sheldon’s and our lives.
Sheldon is enjoying all the emails! He just can't believe they are all for him. He would love to have a visit, if you'd like to come. We expect he will be ready for visitors early next week, but please call ahead.
Thank-you so very much for everything!!
Love, Ben and Viola
