Ups and downs and ups and downs...

This is Sarah's Mom again...Sarah has had a couple of challenging days, so she hasn't felt up to posting.  But she thinks of all of you often and asked me to let you all know that she is a fighter and will get through all of this.  Sarah actually slept pretty well last night, and her appetite is starting to return, so I expect that she will soon be up to a new post.  I've decided to keep a gratitude journal with Sarah, listing all the good things that happen each day...like the stack of colorful scarves that a Girl Scout troop tie-dyed and donated for patients here...a visit from a wonderful SLU friend who delivered some cards and good wishes, too...a care package from her Kappa Delta sorority sisters...the sweet and caring pastoral staff here...the list goes on.  God is good, and so are His people.  Check back soon for a real update from our tough cookie.
