The Smiths have gone through a rough couple of weeks (see previous post). While all of the stuff with Keith was going on, we were also dealing with some family issues. Keith's dad, Gary had a stroke on Saturday, the 13th. It was a "mild stroke" but still very scary. He has made huge strides from the initial injury, and is home now hopefully "taking it easy." That next week was when Keith got his news (the 17th). Just one day later, his nephew Braydon had his (hopefully) last surgery from his AVM discovery just over one year ago. After the stroke, and then Keith's bad news, we were SO happy that Braydon's surgery went great! Thanks for the prayers! He was in the hospital just a few days, and is home now taking a week off school to recooperate before returning to life as a "normal" (whatever that is) almost 9 year old boy :)
We are so thankful that God has been watching over our family. While things may seem like they are crazy and stressful, He provides moments of peace and acceptance with the current circumstances. We would just ask for your continued prayers for us! Specifically--a quick and speedy recovery for Braydon--his year has been plagued with infections and complications--pray that this surgery would go complication free!! Also pray for Gary, Keith's dad, that he would continue to heed the doctor's advice for a full recovery. Pray that God would work through us, his family that loves him, to help him change his lifestyle in order to prevent any future problems. Lastly, keep Keith and I in your prayers. Hearing "no" is a hard thing--pray that we would remember that it was God's voice saying no, and that he has our best interests in mind! Thanks friends!!
