Not Getting Any Better
Sarah is having seizures all day long now. We are hoping to hear from her doctors tomorrow or Wednesday. We are guessing that she will be back in the hospital within the next couple of days. This turn of events is an enormous let down. After she made it through such a crazy surgery we truly believed that we would never see another seizure from her again. I almost feel like it was all for not. The seizures are lasting longer than the ones she used to have and they are causing her to gag or vomit. I am so frustrated right now that I am having a difficult time talking or even writing about what is going on. I don’t mean to come off like a jerk. I am just in a bad place right now. I have been sitting in the house next to Sarah watching her have seizure after seizure the last four days. I hate that this is coming out like self pity. I am just worn down mentally. It feels like I am drowning.
Enough pity party for me. I will keep everyone updated as much as possible. Please continue to pray for Sarah. She doesn’t deserve any of what is happening to her. She doesn’t complain.

Hello, I am sorry I had not checked your blog for awhile and did not know this was going on! I know how difficult it is when prayers do not seem to be anwered but God is in control we know! He knows the plans for Sarah and holds her in the palm of His hand. Here is a favorite poem of mine for tough times from Streams in the Desert called Wit’s End Corner…. with love and much prayer, from your cousin, Shari
Are you standing at “Wit’s End Corner,”
Christian, with troubled brow?
Are you thinking of what is before you,
And all you are bearing now?
Does all the world seem against you,
And you in the battle alone?
Remember–at “Wit’s End Corner”
Is just where God’s power is shown.
Are you standing at “Wit’s End Corner,”
Blinded with wearying pain,
Feeling you cannot endure it,
You cannot bear the strain,
Bruised through the constant suffering,
Dizzy, and dazed, and numb?
Remember–at “Wit’s End Corner”
Is where Jesus loves to come.
Are you standing at “Wit’s End Corner”?
Your work before you spread,
All lying begun, unfinished,
And pressing on heart and head,
Longing for strength to do it,
Stretching out trembling hands?
Remember–at. “Wit’s End Corner”
The Burden-bearer stands.
Are you standing at “Wit’s End Corner”?
Then you’re just in the very spot
To learn the wondrous resources
Of Him who faileth not:
No doubt to a brighter pathway
Your footsteps will soon be moved,
But only at “Wit’s End Corner”
Is the “God who is able” proved.
