it is finally friday.

A quick update while we are waiting to meet the team. The morning has passed moderately fast (so far) which is good considering that Levi's waking request was "Chocolate Milk". Luckily, I was there to stop Dan from fulfilling his request. When a kid is in a fasting mode, they really do need to clear his room of all food because tired and delirious parents will give their kid anything. He proceeded to ask for everything he could think of, not quite understanding why I wasn't rushing to fulfill his request. He's still asking for food and drink on and off, but he is mixing it up with being his playful self.

Last night, I bowed before God in tearful surrender, crying out to Him. He restored peace to me during that time and is giving me strength to face today.

We'll update as possible.

Can't say enough how much your prayer and support has helped us through each moment of this journey.

  3. Hi, I am a student at UCSD and I also go to NCCC. I heard about Levi and I have been praying for him dearly. I hope that Levi's friends and family will find peace and comfort during this time. I recently went through a brain surgery myself and it was good. If you guys need anything, anything at all. Please let me know and I hope that you guys will be comforted by all the prayers and support. I know that Levi will be protected by everyone praying for him and most of all, God. Please keep us updated.

  8. Hi, I found your blog through a friend on facebook (I'm up in Seattle). I have been praying for your family this week.
    I recently went through a major surgery, too, and understand the emotions and questions that develop inside you when faced with something scary and unexpected.
    I pray God continues to quiet your minds and bring peace to your hearts. And I am praying for your little boy today.

  9. Anne-Marie is a childhood friend of mine and she posted your blog last week. Your family has been on my heart and in my prayers. I posted this on our church site and on my facebook page. I anticipate God's powerful intervention in Levi and the testimony that he will carry with him through his life as he shares his story of God's transforming power. Be blessed with peace, hope and comfort as God carries you through this storm.

  11. "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a future." ~ Jeremiah 29:11

    I don't know you personally but I wanted to let you know that I am praying for Levi, and both of you! I can't begin to imagine the roller coaster of emotions that you are going through but I pray that GOD will continue to give you peace and strength to face this.

  12. Praying for Levi. Keep strong and keep faith. God is with you. - Ren

    Isaiah 43:1-2
    But now, this is what the LORD says—
    he who created you, O Jacob,
    he who formed you, O Israel:
    "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
    I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
    When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
    and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
    When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.

  15. "I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your Word to Your servant. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for Your low is my delight." Ps 119:75-77

  21. Me and my three boys (9,8 and 5 years old) have been praying for the last couple days for Levi and for the surgeon to report of the guidance of his hands weather or not he knows God. We have been praying for the miraculous to happen, for his sight to not be affected and that they would be able to remove every last bit of the tumor with greater ease than they imagined, and for God's peace to be yours through this very scary season. Though I don't know you, I love you and will continue praying! Please Lord, glorify yourself in and through this family. amen
