Christmas in July


We had such a treat this morning! Our friend from home, Mariana, came bounding into Mackenzie’s hospital room, bearing gifts from our friends at church. She brought candy, cards, coffee, and lots of love! It was as if God shined the sun directly into our room.

Other good news: Mackenzie worked with the physical therapist this morning and walked around the “block” and climbed some stairs, the oral pain meds are working, and we are going back to the soft, cozy beds of the hotel!

We still have not decided what day we will begin our journey home, but we are moving in the right direction. Mackenzie has an appointment with Dr. Henderson tomorrow in his office, so we will make more definite plans then.

To those of you who sent your goodies and love with Mariana, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you all for praying!

Love,
Mitchell, Lisa, Mackenzie & Mariana

Mackenzie,
You look great! We are so glad that you get to go back to comfy beds! It all gets easier from here - you have the toughest part behind you!

We are back in town and we can't wait until you get back, too!

Keep walking each day and we will get to see you soon!
Love,
The Napiers

You are smiling. That is a good sign. It sounds like things are going well. We'll be seeing you before you know it.

Praying for all of you tonight. Praying that you will all sleep well and that you, Mackenzie, will continue to heal.
Until tomorrow,
Love you,
Lori
