Robbie has been having some concerns about his heart and so as we have persued things he's been wearing a heart monitor that is scheduled for 21 days. The monitor has been sending reports immediately to an outside source. They called us last week and told us not to let him do anything that would get his heart rate up, they've picked up some concerning activity and to have him do nothing until we see our doctor. I got the okay to keeping his room clean, but otherwise it's board game mode!
So we went and had a stress test and along with the monitor readings, the doctor believes he needs a pacemaker. His top electical node frequently malfunctions, and thus he misses some heart beats. He's being referred to an electro physicist and will have an EP test to investigate further. This doctor's exact words were, "He will have to prove to me that he doesn't need a pacemaker!"
Then we took Benjamin in on a mother's hunch and sure enough he has a hernia that will need fixing. Thankfully his eye sight is 20/20!
I'm continually reminded that these children are God's gift to us, not to do with as I please, but God created them! And it is for His purpose and for His glory that they exist. And, that this is earth. A sinful plagued, temporary exhistance, full of so many good things that come only from Him!
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.

Oh... my first reaction to Robbie's news was he has his mother's heart! On the physical level not so good... but spiritually? Not bad at all!
We will be praying for him. And for Ben... and for all the family that loves them.
Fear not, little flock: for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32
Love you all...
