Sunday Night

Well, we just got a chance to see Andrew & he is all hooked up again. We just have to wait the next few days to see where we're at. This is extremely hard as I'm sure you can imagine, but we just turn to the Lord for strength & lift our little boy up to God. Please continue to pray for Andrew's recovery - we know there is healing power in Jesus' name, also pray for Steve & I. I guess nobody knows how to go through something like this. We are just hanging on to each other & putting all our trust in our Lord. Thank you.
Also, happy anniversay to us. Most people are not nearly as blessed as I am with a spouse as awesome as Steve. And Andrew is surely our gift from God. I praise God for both of them!

Betsy and Steve, I can not imagine what to tell you or what advice to give, when it's your little boy there. Do the best you can, continue to lean on each other and hand it over to God and have full Faith in his plan for Andrew. Otherwise it is so easy to begin to question why. We love you both very much and can tell from the videos that you are so in love with Andrew. Happy Anniversary to you guys. Love, Amy and Thomas

And Dad and I praise God for all three of you. We have to believe that God did not bring him this far to let him fail. We will trust that God's helaing loving hand is on him now, and on the two of you.

You two are such a blessing to us. Betsy, thanks so much for bringing Steve into our family. He is a joy and we love both of you so much.

Stevie and Betsy, Just got this site from Mom. Ya'll are in my prayers, especially lil' Dizzy. He is absolutely ADORABLE and looks perfect. God will work miracles. He doesn't look like steve when he was a baby though, his eyes aren't large and round and always looking surprised (can you say arangatan ;)) (and very cute too) I would love to see him when things calm down, I know things will be alright because EVERYONE in this family is a fighter!!!! Love (aunt) Traci and family.

We'll keep praying for you and will get Fr. ken to offer a mass of healing for Andrew.

Steve and Bets,
There are no words any of us can express to let you know how much we love you and how much we'd give to bring you all home safe and healthy right now. What we can do is let you know the strength this group (I mean everyone: all families and friends) provides in the Lord. We are in prayer constantly for the three of you. Today especially we give thanks for the family you have become since you married ??? years ago (okay so I'm not the BEST sister!) We love you more than you can know. Draw on the strength "the group" sends in prayer.
You are forever my "Best Buddy and her precious family,
Christy

We just got home and read up on all of Sunday's blogs. We are praying the night away! Originally, we had planned to come see you guys Monday. But, we leave it up to you with all that has happened with Andrew recently. We can always come another time. Let us know what you guys need, OK? We love you and will continue to pray always! And, today our pastor preached out of 1 Peter and focused on Christians and suffering. What impacted us the most, was that when God brings you through a firey trial, enjoy the process. Sounds harsh, but, suffering is how God refines us. The process is hard, and unpleasant, and hurtful, but the product afterwards is truly amazing. We can't imagine how you guys are suffering now. We look to you and are so encouraged by your faith. Honestly, I don't see how you could "enjoy this process". But God has it all planned out. He is watching over you both, and especially Andrew. He knows what He is doing. Please, let us know if you need anything! <3 <3 <3
