Sunday night


It's Sunday night around 10:30 p.m. and Hope is awake and seizing, probably getting ready to start crying. She didn't sleep at all last night, so she went to sleep at 1100 this morning and woke up an hour ago, and has been having little seizures ever since. Not too sure if she'll sleep tonight.


Alex left for Saskatchewan today, and will come back on Friday. So, we're missing him today.


Brodie had an eye appointment on Friday and recieved an excellent report. His vision in his right eye has improved by three lines. Before we started, he could read the big 'E' at the top of the chart with a strong lense in front of that eye, and now he has moved three lines down, to read at the 20/70 level on the chart (still with glasses of course). Very encouraging.


On Thursday, we tried to bring the girls to Brodie's class to make gingerbread cookies. I won't do that again. Hope started crying as soon as we got there, it was a disaster. So, I took the girls home and decided that we'll just stay home until we can figure out how to get Hope happy again.


All this crying really 'stretches' a person. Prayers please!!!

Oh, Jolene! I was wondering how your outing to Brodie's school turned out. I'm sorry to hear that things have been so trying. You are an amazing person. Although I don't pray, you and your family are in my thoughts.

hey jolene, i can totally see how the crying would totally wear you out and make you feel hopeless. Don't know what to say, except that God is faithful no matter what. He will redeem this time and heartache and stress. We love you guys!

p.s. Is Alex at the Crop show here in Saskatoon?

All I know is that he's in Saskatoon. He did mention looking you up, I wonder if he remembered to get your phone number. I'll have to ask him.

That's funny about the Crop Show, as Phil is going to be there with the Grain Commission on Wed. and Thurs. Will be great if he could find Alex somewhere.

We're remembering you in prayer, asking God to please just keep sustaining you. love you all, Madelaine
