Notes, texts, emails, and calls have been our lifeblood these days, sustaining us through sleepless nights and dark hours. They hurt too sometimes, though. We've occasionally been given the impression that because leukemia "is very treatable these days" that Watts will be back to full-health in no time at all. Infant leukemia has different stats from
childhood leukemia and is even more rare (~408 cases last year, total). The stats on survival rate
are VERY sobering to a mother's heart. On top of that, he is still in the ICU recovering from with a very dangerous infection. He is stable and healing (praise Jesus!) at the moment but there is no
"confidence" that he will be better in no time, only that the road ahead is going to be very, very long and hard.
So no confidence in the stats... Our confidence
is in the Lord and His goodness alone.

Can not begin to fathom the path your feet are walking and thus, will not speak with empty words. I just wanted you to please know I hold you all in my prayers. Never understood why people often say "all we can do is pray" when indeed that is the one thing to do! Today when praying for your family this is the verse that He led me to...may it bring you some comfort: "This I recall to my mind, therefore I have HOPE. The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness." Lamentations 3:21-23
