Its been a tough day so I won’t be long. Albie’s shunt is settling in well and his oxygen levels are looking really good which is great. But, his bowel wall has been starved of oxygen and part of it has died. Poor Albie is in a bit of a miserable state as a result passing lots of blood but they hope it will regenerate with plenty of rest. So he is dosed up again on morphine, nil by mouth still and on five different antibiotics so it doesn’t turn nasty. Poor wee boy. He will be in Intensive Care for quite a while longer yet. We are inspired by Albie who continues to fight it all fiercely though -he has so much chutzpah this one! Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers

When I read one step back I felt like shouting “ENOUGH ALREADY” instead I did as requested and prayed some more including the following which Sarah’s Mum and I found particularly helpful during our rough times. Hope it helps!
THE WEAVER
My life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me
I may not choose the colours
He knows what they should be
For he can view the pattern
Upon the upper side
While I can see it only
From this the under side
Sometimes He weaves in sorrow
Which seems so strange to me
But I will trust His judgement
And work on faithfully
It’s He who fills the shuttles
He knows just what is best
So I shall weave in earnest
And leave to Him the rest.
Not until the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful
In the weaver’s skilful hand
As threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned
