Happy Mother's Day to all you special mothers! I had a special Mother's Day because I was able to be with all three boys today. I got to be with Clay during our visits and with Carson and Cody at the Ronald McDonald House. Carson and Cody were anxious to give me their sweet Mother's Day cards that they made at school. Chance went to see Clay at 6:00am while Carson, Cody, Grandma, and I slept a little longer. Chance had Clay sign a Mother's Day card and told him to hide it under a pillow until the next visit. When we arrived for the 8:00am visit, we stopped to talk to the nurses outside of Clay's room. Clay saw us and began to wave the Mother's Day card in the air. It was so sweet. He had been waiting for an hour to give me the card.
He had a restful Sunday. We went to our Sunday church meeting, and when we arrived at the 11:00 visit, he was sitting in his chair. He sat his chair for a few hours and then was moved back to his comfortable air bed. He took a few sips of apple juice this afternoon. He was rubbing his stomach and indicated that it hurt. Although, he did not vomit today. We are thankful that his little stomach is, at least, getting relief from the vomiting. He was sleeping during our last visit of the day. I hope he has a restful night.
Through this blog, we feel like you have all been with us. Thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and words of encouragement through this unimaginable experience. Carolyn stated in her post how she feels that God has brought us all together through Clay. This has been our thought too. Many tears have been shed: tears of worry, tears of heartaches, tears of thankfulness, tears of joy, tears of weariness, tears of encouragement - we know that God feels it too and are thankful each day for His continued comfort.

So happy that you all had a great day! The first thing I did this morning when I awoke was pray that Deedee and Clay would both have a great day! Happy Mother's Day DeeDee! I am happy he has stopped vomiting at least for now. I pray he will continue to stay vomit~free! I know that card will mean more to you than any card he will ever make! I think all 3 cards should be framed, because all 3 boys have a very special Mama!! Hope you have a restful night! Love you all! Missy

Happy Mothers Day DeeDee!!! Yes we have all came close together because of our dear little Clay. We feel that you are all one of our family and all the wonderful families that comment in your blog. We love that hymn that says "there is no where that earths sorrows are more felt than up in heaven." We cry with you and hope with you and pray with you everyday. Love to all five of you.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that was one of the very best Mother's days you have had. I know you have appreciated your precious sons since their birth, but somehow this year has really put the meaning of it all in your heart...to be able to celebrate Mother's Day this particular year is a blessing beyond their births. God bless you all. I understand the different classifications of all your tears and I have shared them with you. See, there goes that scripture again. Thank you, Jeanne. That one touched all our lives. I'm going to mark it in my Bible. I love it and I don't remember it ever standing out at me. It certainy does now. Keep up the good prayers for Clay's vomiting, Missy. What a wonderful day to NOT. That was a gift in itself...from God.
ReplyDeleteLove to all of you, Carolyn
Yes, even we who have never met you...tho' we have through our daughter, Susie...we share in your joys and sorrows. and oh so many times, have cried as I read what you shared with us. Know that God sees your tears and aching, weary hearts. And in the yoke with Jesus, you are never alone, never bearing the burden alone.
ReplyDeleteWe love you, Raymond and Linda Block
What a wonderful Mother's Day for you, DeeDee! And a wonderful one for your mother, too! Chance was so thoughtful to have Clay sign a card for Mommy.
ReplyDeleteWe are so pleased he didn't vomit; wouldn't it be wonderful if he was finished with that. We are so pleased you feel closer to others through your blog - we definitely feel it binds us together through love; even through the tears and heartaches. Please give hugs to Clay this morning and may you all have a wonderful day! Love, Dawn & Pam
The strength God has given you is such an encouragement, so is your faith in him through this time. All 3 of your boys are so sweet!! We love you all!!! You are an AMAZING mom DeeDee!!
ReplyDeletePraying Always :)
Chance and Dedra, Midge and I pray for Clay, you and the boys daily. Many here in Tyler follow Clay's Blog every day and keep you in their prayers. May the Lord give you strength through His sustaining love each and every day.
ReplyDeleteYour love and affection and faith in God continue to amaze me every night as I read your blogs.I am so happy you had a good Mothers Day. It's wonderful to read about Clays progress everyday. I know how tiring it is to be where you are but you never forget about us at home.Thank you so much for that. God Bless You all.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you all day yesterday Dee Dee. What a rotten place to spend Mother's Day...but what a blessing to spend it with all your boys. I love you and am ready when you need something.
