Josh arrived back in St. Louis safely this morning and will be heading out tomorrow for a big recruiting weekend in Chicago and Omaha. Prayers for him would be appreciated as he is suffering from a wicked sinus infection that he can't seem to shake.
Encouraging story from the day: Our surgeon came in to talk to us before taking Noah into surgery and explained again the procedure that he would be performing. After finishing, he looked at us and said, "Would you like me to pray before we take Noah?" Josh and I looked at each other and said yes in unison. God is so good.

Oh, Deb, what a blessing for you that your surgeon prayed with you before Noah's surgery. What peace that must have given you. You are in our prayers, too!
Hi, I'm a friend of Heather Stiles and found your blog through an e-mail she sent asking us to pray for Noah. He has been on my heart ever since I first read your story. Your faith and trust in God during this time is such a testimony to others - I will continue to pray for complete healing for your special little guy.
Psalm 42:5-6a
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
How AMAZING is it that this doctor wanted to pray for you! Praise the Lord. We continue to pray for all 3 of you. We love you so much.
