What a busy time it has been. Over the past few months, I have experienced some extreme highs and lows, from the international gathering of catechists in Arizona (a high) to days in the hospital with our little one with words like encephalitis and viral brain infection being verbalized (an all time low). Intense joy and intense fear. We have enjoyed vacations, birthdays, the recovery of motor skills in our little one, and a gratefulness for all of the simple joys of life. I guess you could say we are having a complete immersion in "real life"! I hope to share some of those joys with you, and look forward to the beautiful season of advent, and all of the anticipation it brings! I hope that each of you are well, and I ask that you will keep my family in your prayers.
eta: our little one is fine - thankfully he has made a full recovery and it appears has no lingering issues. His patron saints are Isaac the Syrian and St. John of Damascus.

About Me

III Kingdoms 19:11-12
"Behold, the Lord will pass by, and before the Lord, a great and powerful wind will be rending the mountains and shattering the rocks; but the Lord will not be in the wind. After the wind, an earthquake, but the Lord will not be in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there will be a fire, but the Lord will not be in the fire. After the fire, there will be a sound of a gentle breeze, and the Lord will be there."

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she may help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10:40-42

Lord have mercy, that sounds really hard. Can you let us know the name of your child (or email me at roosjeblog AT yahoo DOT CA) ? Is a fully recovery expected? sounds scary. May the Mother of God protect you all!
So happy to see this good news! You and your remain in my prayers. God bless and keep you
