April 7th

Hello.
Sorry it has been so long.
Tomorrow we go to court.
Today has not been an easy day. Much has happened that is not medical related so I will not speak about it here. The battle rages on and as I'm sure my dad would say, they have moved on from orcs to trolls. The sounds of the Grog are nearing the field and the torches from the riders of the Oliphants are flickering in the distance. But we have the sword of truth on our side, and while our army may be smaller, our leader is much wiser, older, and more powerful than theirs.
Allen's mom told us to read Psalm 55 and 56 this evening and it was great encouragment. I have struggled this week over how to pray in such a difficult time, but King David cries out to God in such a way that it takes about two verses into a psalm for me to start going "YES! THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!"

Phoenix returned to her opthalmologist this week and he said she is getting much, much better. She goes tomorrow for her physical therapy evaluation. I am sure she will do fantastic but we are praying that they know how to get more mobility and purpose from her left side.

Love you
Shell, Allen and Phoenix

P.S. This is also for you, Dad, Mom and kids:
"How goes the world?"
"The world goes not well, but the Kingdom comes!"
