Better News

Samuel has been off supplemental oxygen since this morning and is now able to maintain the oxygen levels in his body. If all goes well he may be released from the hospital as early as tomorrow or Monday.
Apparently he didn't have RSV, which is good, but it looks like the effects of the cold may be with him for a while. The doctor thinks that if he gets a cold again in the next couple years it may result in a similar situation.
Thank you all so much for your prayers. It was very comforting to know that there were so many people all over praying for us. God is faithful.
The influx of Barnhoorns has started here. My parents have been here for a couple days already. They have been such a blessing, packing and cleaning and cooking and taking care of Stephen while I have been going to and from the hospital. David and Evelyn are arriving this evening from Edmonton. Daniel will be coming home with us after we have dinner with the Fama's tomorrow. Becky and Rod also come tomorrow, but just before midnight. We are looking forward to a great time as a family this Christmas.
We hope you are doing well and are able to spend good times with family this Christmas. May you truly have a joyful Christmas as you remember how the Almighty God became man to show his love for us.
