Gracious Hearts…
It’s hard to believe that Alese has been in the hospital for almost five weeks….
I am so grateful to my Mom who came down 10 days ago to help, we are overwhelmed and her presence has been such a blessing. I also want to thank Alese’s best friend Brandy Sheridan who spent two nights with Alese. This was such a blessing, over the last five weeks Paul and I have only seen each other in passing, as one of us has been with Alese 24/7. Last Sunday was the first night we spent the night under the same roof in many, many weeks and we’re grateful to Brandy for her warm, and caring spirit.
Today started out on a difficult note, Alese's red count was down and her breathing appeared increasingly laborious compared to yesterday. However, as the day progressed and many people praying, the afternoon lab draw reported her red count had increased, and by mid afternoon Alese was sitting up in bed. She played on the computer, she did some leg exercises, read some magazines and this evening watched Survivor.
Melissa Walker sent this to Alese in the mail, I read this to her today and she was so touched by the words she wanted me to post it. This is pretty much were Alese's heart is.
"The Valleys"
The pathway is broken and the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why you brought me here
But just because you love me the way that you do
I'm gonna walk through the valley If you want me to
Cause I'm not who I was When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise
You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials Bring me closer to you
Then I will go through the fire if you want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
when you lead me through a world that's not my home
But you never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone.
So when the whole world turns against me
and I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering your love put you through
And I will go through the valley If you want me to.
