Going strong...
I called early this morning before the shift change to check with Bronwyn's night nurse to see how she had faired through the night. In the words of the nurse - She is a STAR! Well you don't need to tell me. She opened her eyes and looked drowsily around this afternoon when we were there. I was so excited by that - I started to cry. I'll likely be a mess when I actually get to hold her.
Many of you have let us know how much you are enjoying these updates on the blog. Well there is a side effect of this popularity. My mother has started calling me a blogger-mouth. Clever eh? So those of you who are worried about fact that there is nothing normal about our life right now - don't worry - normal is not something I have been exposed too.
We are so pleased with Bronwyn's progress - she has done exceptionally well. She is truly exceeding the expectations of those who are caring for her. For those of you who are praying and expecting God to work in our life - I want you to know that He is not just helping heal our daughter He is going above and beyond. Bronwyn had a slight infection before her surgery - they had started her on antibiotics even though they hadn't identified the infection. The results came back last night and it was a minor bladder infection. The doctor who was attending last night is a specialist in infectious diseases. Any doctor could have made the changes to her medication but God provided a specialist in that field. A bit above and beyond - don't you think.
It is 11:20 pm as I write this and Gavin is in his bed yelling for his Grandma. He is refusing to sleep tonight - apparently his parent's aren't listening so he is calling for his more sympathetic grandma.
Again thank you all for your support and love. Be comforted in our optimism and know that we are doing well. The better our daughter does the better we do.
Now Gavin is calling for Grandpa!
What a kid.

Great to read that all's going so well so far, we are thinking about all of you and praying for continued success with little Bronwyn.
Love from Roy, Alison and girls in Botswana and all the family in Zimbabwe
I think there is a Robert Munsch book about a little boy who goes through the whole family before falling asleep - it must be about Gavin! I love seeing the power of prayer in motion! An angel in the parking toll booth... who knew. Love to you all and God Bless,

Our boys are praying (as are we) for Bronwyn and you guys. (The boys are especially keen on having another beautiful girl back in the Calgary congregation to charm ; )
Hi to Gavin and Wes as well!
Love the Gamble 5
