This is a secret mission in uncharted space.
Just as I was getting used to things around here, the nurse comes in and changes everything.
The good news is that Judah isn’t so sick as to need an isolation room, so we’ve been moved into a shared room with another family and their little child.
The bad news is that there is a kid coming in who is sicker than Judah and needs to be isolated from everyone else. With as sick as Judah was, I can’t imagine dealing with a more serious illness in a small child. My heart goes out to those parents.
While I won’t enjoy sharing a room, I’m trying to be grateful that Judah isn’t so sick that he needs to be isolated away from others.
We have been so blessed by the outpouring of love and prayer from our church family. Tonight when Uncle Todd came to visit, he brought over a present that a church family had given us for Judah. Judah is famous around church for calling himself different names. A popular one is ‘Buzz Lightyear’ from Pixar’s Toy Story. Judah was acting grumpy when Uncle Todd came in, but he perked right up when Todd pulled out the present. “I want that!” he said, very clearly and audibly. I don’t suppose that Judah will be leaving Buzz anywhere for a while – he even brought him into the bathroom.

Hey guys just wanting to let you know you continue to be in our prayers. Rebecca asks me how Judah is doing and I gave her your blog address and she keeps checking it to see how you all are doing especially Judah. This picture shows the goodness of God. You can tell Judah is feeling better just by looking at his picture. I’m not very good at thinking of ways of helping so please feel free to call if you need anything at all. Take care of yourselves and get some rest.

Like you, I always prefer a more private situation. But it’s good to know there is a positive aspect to this change. I trust Judah will continue to improve until he is once again surrounded by six lively children!
