I prayed that the Lord would give Nathan joy to outweigh his sufferings.
Today we got a visit from the young man who gave Nathan his racing trophy, and his brother. They are John Bandimere's grandsons (of Bandimere Speedway), and I'm sure he's proud of them. Their family had been praying for Nathan, and called a few days before the surgery. These boys wanted to buy Nathan and his sisters some Christmas gifts with their own money. And they came with some very nice gifts. We have received so much kindness from this family, and we are Bandimere Speedway fans for life!
Opening gifts on Christmas Day, three days after surgery. Best Christmas ever!
In the wagon getting ready to leave Children's Hospital the day after surgery.
The day after surgery, napping with policeman bear. He wanted to be dressed in his own clothes to be ready for a visit from his favorite police officer.
We thank God for sparing Nathan's life, for sparing him the massive headache and the rush to the hospital for emergency surgery. He was throwing up the day of surgery, we think from the cranial pressure, so it couldn't have been much longer. God's timing was perfect, that his surgeon could do the surgery, and as a bonus, that we could be home for Christmas.

God is always good, sometimes we know it, and sometimes we see it. How much better to see! With love to you all.
Oh, Yay! Oh, Yay! Oh, Yay!
