Alive in Christ

It is the end of a trying day. Please pray for the Gail's condition to remain stable and that there are no complications. She has had some spasms that have caused additional bleeding so the Dr's have set her on a heavy dose of medication to induce a near paralytic condition with the aim of gaining stability.

She has been stable now for 12 hours.

Devon and I spent time with her and Devon was peppering the nurse with questions. It's good that he wants to know what's going on with his Mom. We sang, 'Jesus, Lover of my Soul, Blessed be your Name, I Love you Lord and Give Thanks.

Your many prayers have been filling Gail's cup and our cup, just when we get some tough news like today. We know that the Lord is up to something good. We see evidence of this in our family and friends that are meeting one another. Gail, Devon and I have always longed for our family and friends down south to meet our family and friends that we have made in the community of half moon bay, through basketball, C-pals, Mariners and Bay City. We have seen with our own eyes evidence of God's provision for instance:

1. When Gail blacked out on Saturday, she sat down on the couch. The paramedics were there in less than 5 minutes.
2. I was familiar with the neurosurgeon from work and was comforted having someone that I knew.
3. Devon and I were not at breakfast like we had planned on Saturday morning.
4. Gail was not in the car on the way to emergency with us to Moss Beach. (She would have had to have been transported to another hospital and delayed treatment.
5. Our cousin,Laura Jong, is a neurologist and has given us a clearer understanding of what is going on.
6. All the friends and family and work mates that have called, prayed and visited.
7. Gail remains peaceful. And we have a sense of peace that passes all understanding, because this is so darn hard to understand.

Thanks for you comments and prayers. They are our life and drink.

Love,

Jon, Gail and Devon
