Even in the midst of all that is going on with Sarah, the Lord provided a weekend away for Dave and I. This summer is our ten year anniversary and we had planned a week away in St. Lucia origanally scheduled for this past week. When Sarah got sick we decided to cancel our trip. (Glad we got trip insurance!) When we saw that she was doing relatively well we decided to go to Bethany Beach for the weekend. It's one of our favorite places and it's close by, so we felt comfortable leaving her for four days. We had such a great time. The weather was terrible, but in some ways it was nice because we were forced to do nothing. We slept in, watched movies, went shopping, ate lots of great food, and when it wasn't raining we were able to take a few walks. We came back refreshed and ready for whatever comes next. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking all the kids, and for giving Sarah all her medicine. I know it was hard for you, but we are so grateful!
As for Sarah, we have been watching her today. After her occupational therapist sees her tomorrow morning I will give her doctor an update. She has a treatment day on Tuesday of next week, so we'll see if he wants to wait to see her then, or if he would rather see her on Friday. We will be at Hopkins tomorrow for her to see an eye doctor there. Her left eye still seems to be affected, so we will see what they have to say.

We were saddened to hear of Sarah's decline; there are always ups and downs, improvements and relapses. We will pray for her skills to return and improve and may this relapse turn you to God even more. We know that God is faithful and, like you said, He gives grace for today. The future is secure when you know that God always pours His grace upon you. We will pray for this and know that we love you all.
I'm glad you and Dave were able to get away though not your original destination. God knows. I am praying for Sarah's condition to improve and for you all to know God's grace in persevering and bearing up under these circumstances you find yourselves in. Knowing that He is able to do more than we ask or imagine, we persevere in prayer for you.
