Steppin' Down's a Step Up


The Thompson convoy, complete with hundreds of cards, posters, books, stuffed animals,etc. has made the move out of the Intensive Care Unit!

We are now in the cardiac step down unit...M-40. We are living it up in room 16.

Step down is a step up...which we are stoked for.

But it is also bittersweet, because we're leaving behind some incredible people in our M43 nurses and doctors. Many have become family...and I don't even mean 'crazy uncle' kind've family...I mean legitimate, love 'em to death family.

But this is a huge step in this process. Chaia is no longer ICU worthy.

So, we are in our new Temporary Lodging Facility (Not calling it a Home...cause we don't intend to stay.)

To our PICU friends...don't forget us over here. Chaia needs visitors!

What great news! Just a comment on a previous days blog. When our children are born we dedicate them, and commit ourselves to raising them to know Jesus as their Savior. We say they belong to God. It is not so hard to say when you expect them to live a long life. So very much harder to accept when you know that each day could be their last, or you lose one child and know that God doesn't promise that the others won't be taken also. So we need to cherish these precious gifts and thank God for every day we are given. I am moved always by your words and we praise God for how He has worked in your lives.
