I just wanted to let all our blog viewers know that Samuel was readmitted to the hospital last night. He had caught Stephen's cold and was quite congested. Added to that a friend who's child was later diagnosed with RSV came over for a visit. Samuel was having an increasingly difficult time breathing and a couple of times stopped altogether. That was when we decided to go to the emergency room. He is not able to keep his oxygen levels up, and is on supplemental oxygen. He is encased in a big plastic box. I'll try to post a picture when I get one.
He is likely going to be there for a week and because he needs his mom so much, Janice will be sharing the room with him. We are asking for prayer for several things now...
1. Strength for Janice as she spends the next week in the hospital. It is especially hard because she can't really hold him. Also, a couple days ago she mentioned that she didn't want to spend another Christmas in the hospital.
2. That Samuel will be able to come out before the week is up. Janice and the boys are supposed to fly home with Mom and Dad Barnhoorn on the 28th but if Samuel is not out by then arrangements will have to be made for something else.
3. That all the packing and cleaning will get done despite the boss's (Janice) absence. We do have a lot of help coming.
Thanks for lifting us up in this time.
