A room for Samuel.

We're trying to create a new room for Samuel. We had a great idea of moving the twins into Libby's room and letting Libby and Samuel share a room. My Dad pointed out though that this could be a problem when Samuel is really sick on chemo. That might be hard for Libby to hear Samuel throwing up or moaning in the night.

So, solution 2. We're going to create a "home" for Christopher on the 3rd floor. He needs electric and plumbing upstairs as well as insulation and drywall, etc. But if Christopher has his own space then we'll turn his room into Libby's room. And use Libby's room to be Samuel's room. We'll need to paint and put in some kind of flooring that allows us to clean up easily. Fake wood or even some kind of laminate. Cleaning vomit out of carpet isn't very easy. Plus who knows what other messes will need cleaning :) I'm hoping to get new sheets for him and plenty on hand so we can change his sheets as needed.

The good thing is if we move him to Libby's room he will be very close to the bathroom as well as being close to our bedroom.

The dishwasher isn't working and the dryer is making weird noises.

I was talking to Mike about how weary I am. It's discouraging when you're just starting a journey and you're already wiped-out and exhausted and don't know how to go any further. I mean we're only two steps in and feel ready to quit but we have a whole marathon ahead of us.

Asking God for endurance and provision. It would be great to bless Samuel with a new room of his own when he comes home.

JL, you are doing a great job thinking of all the details that affect your family. You are loving your husband, Libby, Samuel, Ian, Michael and Peter as you administrate medical, home, school and other related needs. Praying for strength and grace and rest. Remember that you don't have to figure everything out but you can be simply led by the Spirit one step at a time. An exhausting journey...but a safe journey in the hands of the Almighty God who shaped the world and holds you in His heart. I love you. Praying and waiting and seeking with you.
