Easter Sun. 3/23

He is risen! He is risen indeed!!!!!!!!

Happy Resurrection Day! This was definitely a 1st for us: spending Easter in a hospital. However, it was good, and God was HERE! They took Caed for more x-rays first thing this morning. They were short and easy...thank you Lord! We spent quite a while looking at the results and talking with the dr., but in a nut shell: his bowels are still extremely sluggish (he still had the barium in them from the upper GI done several days ago), but doesn't see any reason to go back in at this point. He said time should reveal any other problems (if there are any). However, he said it will be a group decision, so we'll see what Dr. G's opinions are probably tomorrow. Caed was very melancholy today (kinda like the weather here in Lubbock...cloudy and dreary). My family came up to visit, and we hid eggs here in his room. He really didn't get too excited, just wanted to lay in his bed. He cried several times with pain. My mom read the Easter story, and then my Dad talked about it (using Resurrection Eggs). Regardless of the circumstance, it was a neat time for our family to be together and remember what this day is truly about. Todd's mom came up a little later. Like I said before, it was definitely an Easter first for our family, but a special one we will always remember. Just as Christ defeated death, we know that same power still is alive today! We believe He will also have the victory over Caed's sick little body. Praise you Jesus for all you have done and WILL DO!

Todd and Lori,
I know you don't feel like it, but you are radiating God's strength! Your postings are such a blessing to me. I'm sure you feel like you're just hanging on...but while you're doing that you are also glorifying God, seeking His will, relying on Him and showing real faith and trust. I can't wait to see how God pours out His blessings on your family. We miss you here in Celina and know that everyone at FBC is praying!

Hi Todd & Lori,

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. Your faith is truly an inspiration to me. I know your ordeal seems like a nightmare, but God is doing mighty things through you and Caed. We miss you in Celina, but what a blessing that you have your family nearby to help out.

I ask today that you come into Caed's heart and heal him . all his worries, all His fears i ask that you take them away. that you protect him and his family that no weapon fomed against them shall prosper. i ask that you place the angels around them at all times. i ask that you heal Him of any ailments or sickness.
