This will probably be my final post from Rochester. Unless, that is, we spend the night in the airport tomorrow. Can you believe the events of this day in our world? And Northwest Airlines is planning a "work" slowdown tomorrow - precursor to a flight attendant "strike"? I went to the store to purchase a duffel bag to put all our original carry-on bags in and if it doesn't fit in my purse, it will be in the luggage. Of course, most of you know my love for LARGE purses! We are praying for smooth and safe travel.
I went over to the hospital early this morning so that Mike and Shelly could come over and take showers and have breakfast, and I had some special Logan time. He is so precious. I see strength in him and I know God put it there before he ever came into this world. My prayer for him will continue to be that he will never see life as an obstacle, but a great opportunity!
Being with Jackson has been fun - we couldn't convince him to come home with us, but I know that his little family probably needs him more anyway.
They will set out for North Dakota tomorrow to see about Shelly's dad. Then on to their home a few days later in South Dakota.
It will be hard to say goodbye, but we are so thankful for the outcome here. We realize, in a difficult way, that it will be quite a while before we see them again. But we know the good Lord will bless them.
Thank you...everyone...for praying for us and sharing Logan's story during this week. By the way, we saw our little friend Katie today. We found out a little more about her story - they are from California and in about 2 weeks, they will go in and try to remove the portion of her brain that the seizures seem to be coming from. Roy took her a little stuffed horse and a Willow Tree "Angel of Light" today, and we promised to pray for her and ask others to do the same.
I am anxious to get home and see so many I have been missing. Please keep praying...we will be praying for you!
Be blessed today!

Roy & Mindy..,my heart is over flowing with gratitude to our Lord! He is faithful...He can be no other way...That is His name!!
I know precious Logan will be such an over-comer that he will florish with the challenges that MAY be ahead. I feel like he is going to amaze us all! I feel like he will be a mighty man of God that proclaims His Word and His power to many. From an early age he will hear the very personal stories of how his God showed up very early in life...provided for him sustained him, strengthened him and empowered him for leadership as
he walks this earth with the Lord never stop telling him the story of what God did for him this week...what God did for all of this week as we had the honor of taking allyou to the throne room time and again seeking the blessing and power of the Lord...love you guys...I am not even worried about you getting home the same One who got you there safely will get you home safely!!!sj

I am so glad you and Roy got to be with Mike and Shelly and the boys -- I know that it must have been a powerful few days. Glad you are on your way home --Rest. Rest your bodies and minds. And enjoy the love of your precious family.

I am so relieved for your family to have this behind you. I know we all wish we could hug that sweet boy and all his family who have shown him the peace that passes all understanding. I'm sure that the priceless blessing of your presence there with them during this time was more important than you will ever know. There is just no one quite like parents and grandparents to stand beside us and comfort us. What a precious Father we have who never asks us to walk through anything alone, or even sometimes to walk through it - He just carries us. I pray that your trip home and arrival here are full of unexpected blessings and encouragement.
I was not aware of logan's problem until I read Christine's blog. It so touching - and I am so happy that things went well. I do not know Logan or his family, but this has really touched my heart. When one of our small ones get seriously sick, it hits you right in the pit of your stomach. Once again the power of our Almighty God was shown. You are still in our prayers.
Mindy, I was just thinking of you and your family---how is Logan doing now?
