Always.
No matter what.
And He gives the grace
needed for the journey.
How amazing is HIS love!
Thank you to each and
every one of you who has
emailed, left blog comments,
sent cards, phoned, brought meals,
visited with Austin,
and of course ~ Prayed!!
Every single email, comment
and note has been read.
Every single phone message
has been listened to.
The food has been a great blessing,
and Austin has enjoyed all the visits!
Thank you all so very, very much.
How precious God's people are!
The LORD is carrying
us through this journey.
HE is in control.
And we rest in HIM.
Austin is out of imminent danger.
His body has responded
well to each of the heart
medications administered.
It might not have been the case.
This is a direct answer to prayer.
Each medicine had to be
added in one by one to be sure
he would tolerate them.
There are three or four.
God has graciously answered
prayer and the meds are working well.
The full picture will
not be known for some time.
Many tests were implemented
and results will be slow in coming.
There are many questions.
We must be patient
for the answers.
Each day is a gift.
In order to see the extent
of the damage to the heart,
an MRI is needed.
It will likely take place
next week.
Now we wait.
We do not know what the
future holds.
But, we know WHO holds it!
Our Great God
is already there.
The team of cardiologists
at Children's Hospital
has determined that Austin
should be closely monitored
and then re-assessed in
about three months.
It takes a long time
for the medicines to
take effect.
In the meantime,
we pray that healing
would happen.
We pray that his body would
continue to accept the meds.
The next step in this
journey would involve
inserting a pacemaker,
if necessary.
Please pray that
it won't be required.
When/if that stops working,
there are ways to mechanically
help the heart while
waiting for a transplant.
Statistically,
One third of children
with this condition die.
One third live with impaired
heart function and use medications,
possibly a pacemaker,
and may eventually
receive a heart transplant.
One third completely recover.
Anything is possible with God.
If all goes well tonight,
Austin may be released from
the hospital in the morning.
He will have to lay low
for awhile.
Chess anyone? :)
The new normal?
Time will tell.
Thank you once again
for your prayers!
If the LORD should bring
us to mind, would you please
continue to pray?
Only as you are able.
Thank you from the bottom
of our hearts!
"My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from Him...
Trust in Him at all times; ye people,
pour out your heart before Him:
God is a refuge for us."
~ Psalm 62:5 and 8 ~
The LORD truly
does all things well.
Resting in HIM,
Camille
