We made it!
We're in Cincinnati (which is still difficult for me to spell!), and it seems like the wireless internet works at the hotel. =)
I promised some lists, so here we go...
Things to be thankful for:
- We arrived safely with dry roads and NO traffic. What a relief!
- Our two kiddos are safely at my (Jeff's) parents' house, and it sounds like they had a great first day there.
- We received a really thoughtful care package from my sister Laura - she went through a lot of work putting together movies, songs, verses, and treats to help make the week more enjoyable. No wonder she always refers to herself as my favorite sister! =)
- We felt really loved this morning at church; countless (I mean, if we tried, we really couldn't count how many) people told us that they were praying, wished us a safe journey, and encouraged us with hugs and kind words. Incredible.
- Books! I stole some recommendations from Facebook friends for good books, reserved them at the library, and will eagerly plow through them as the testing and waiting begins tomorrow.
Things to pray for:
- Health for both of our little girls. We keep having this recurring thought: "What if something has happened since Thursday?" Thankfully, the ultrasound tomorrow is one of the first things on the itinerary, so that should calm our fears. Although, I guess the kicks that Lisa feels does that, too.
- Emotional stability. Lisa laughed when I asked if that was a good way to put it. =)
- Good results. Three things are scheduled for tomorrow - family history interview (7:30 am), ultrasound (9 am), and MRI (11 am). If you think to pray during those time, we'd be greatly encouraged. We hope each one will show that the girls are as healthy as can be and that they indicate all green lights for the procedure (to be determined, this week).
Thanks again for all your encouragement! I really can't tell you how uplifting it's been to have your support. God is good, all the time.

Awww--and you are my favorite brother :)
I'm so glad that you made it safely to your destination (I can't spell it that well either)
We are praying for you and love you all very much!
Thankful that you made it safely. Be assured of our prayers continually. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7 (Remember the Shield of Faith is protecting you guys! :) Sandi and Tom
AMEN! I'm glad you guys made it safely. Nicely put on comment T3 -With that said, I guess you're still my favorite blood brother :-) I'll be saying some extra prayers for you guys tomorrow during your tests.
Love your, um, sister Lisa
Praying for you guys throughout the day and through these tough, uncertain times. Well said above by Sandi and Tom; pray about everything; nothing is too small or too huge for God. Be blessed guys!!! Know that so many are praying for you and these little ones!!! <3
May you and your wife continue to see God's lovingkindness in this trial and may your faith grow in ways like never before.
We had our own set of complications with our twins and had to see specialists as well, not to the degree as you're experiencing but I can relate to the ups and downs and fears that come. Continue to trust Him with all things and giving thanks for all things.
You all are in our prayers!
-Bethany and Tim Rowe
