Saturday Visit

Today was a very active day for the Lunsford family. Louie and his friends were busy working around the house cutting up large branches that the ice had knocked out of one of our evergreen trees, grading the ruts out of the driveway, doing A LOT of cleanup around the house, and probably other things that I haven't noticed yet because I got home after dark. Thank you all very much for the awesome blessing that you were to us today. The 6 younger kids and I got home after 8 PM from the hospital to a nice meal from someone in our church. That was a great blessing, as have been all the meals that we have received.

The 6 younger kids and I visited today with Christen and Debbie at UVA. It was great to get to see them though leaving was not easy. As you can well imagine the younger children feel unsettled not knowing when they will get to see Mom and Christen again. Christen is not feeling so nauseated any longer but her blood count numbers are still very low so she can't yet come home. We are not sure when she will get to come home.

Christen is feeling very down since her hair continues to fall out, she will miss church tomorrow, and she wants to be out of the hospital and back to normal life. She tires very easily so needs a lot of rest. Please pray that her blood count numbers will increase more rapidly than expected, and that she will be able to avoid any further infection.

Thank you all for your prayers. We can tell you from first hand experience that Jesus is answering. Please don't stop.

Hebrews 4:15 "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
