I talked with Skip at length today as she sobbed and sobbed. Tired, weary and emotionally drained. James is finally out of ICU but his white count is up and his fever and he's progressing but not as fast as she would like.
The tiredness in her voice was clearly evident. My vibrant, bubbly girl who rarely skips a beat was fast losing patience and needing her mom's advice. Trying to assure her it would be ok, it will just take time, she probably was thinking, time is all I've been watching, clock after clock, waiting. It's gonna be a long path and tough road for them as James recovers.
I think the tears needed to come. She needs 24 hours sleep too. It's hard once again to not be there for your child when they are hurting.
While she was crying on the phone, a person came up, gave her tissues and a water bottle and told her it's gonna get better. I know God uses people at just the right moment, and He knows what's needed when needed.

Thanks to everyone that has prayed for james and I. I miss that "Snapper John" and his smug looks, his beautiful smile, and his amazing eyes. I never realized how much I really loved that little boy till now. Thanks for everything guys! Love you and keep posting those pics of him were great. I love the one of him and dad and his look is just so "cool and smooth riding"
