Update!

Bethani was able to spend time with Wyatt. He sat on her bed and played. She really enjoyed this time with him. Brian is doing good. They are getting an education on her recovery. Brian administered her medications yesterday. Bethani will know how by the time she goes home. The doctors have said she is doing awesome in her recovery. Thank You Jesus!

Brian enjoys company, and Bethani likes to read the comments and the guest book from visitors at the hospital, but at this time she is not allowed visitors.

Thank you so much for your continued prayer. We serve a Great God, and His family is awesome. You have been a pillar of strength to the family.

How special it must have been for Wyatt to be with Mommy... You are ALL (Bishops, Bobos, Flowers, Roams and family) in our prayers.

Bethani- We're praying for your continued strength. Know this, Bethani: God said that he would never put more on us than we could handle. In order for you to go through this, God must see you as His VERY STRONG child; you will prevail through this storm!

Continue to stay strong, Bethani... Love you, Girl!

Bro. Brian, We sent up prayers for you and Bethani when we first heard of her difficulty. I felt God would move on her behalf. At times we must remind ourselves that we are in the arms of the Almighty One.

Well..we thought it was time for a few jokes. Are you ready? Hold the pillow over your stitches. :o)
An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either. ha
I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldm't find any. ha
I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel. ha
A man woke up in the hospital after a serious accident, He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't, I cut off your arms!" ha
Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. ha
Keep laughing!

A little girl made her sick mama breakfast in bed. The eggs were rubber and the toast was burned, but the tea was good. "I made the tea the way you taught me, Mama. I put tea leaves in hot water, then I strained them and poured the tea into your cup."
"How did you strain the tea leaves out?" asked Mom.
"Well, I couldn't find your tea strainer, so I used the flyswatter." When Mom got this 'look' on her face, the little girl said quickly, "Oh, don't worry, I used your old one!"

Glad you got to have time with your little one. Just be sure he knows what a teaBAG is and you should be okay.

And what a privaledge to know, He loves you this much to give this wonderful gift to you. Love and Prayers to you and your family, Janet M

Yes! I am reminded of a song I just put on my CD - "How big is God, bigger than an ocean, taller than a tree, broader than a river, deeper than the sea, higher than a mountain, but not too far away, to hear when we pray..." So glad He has heard all the prayers and is answering right on time. Love you and glad to hear you are progressing towards a complete recovery.

I too, also happen to agree that Wyatt is ridiculously cute. I'm not factoring our similar haircuts, either.

What wonderful news! We have been praying for you all and know that God is working the miracle. I'm sure the Mommy/Wyatt reunion brought many tears. I'm still getting e-mails from friends all over the nation that have been praying. I'm saving them all for a special presentation to Brian and Bethani. We love you more than you can know...Love, The Baughmans

Our family and our church have been praying for you, and we are so thrilled about the way God is answering prayer. We will continue to bring you and your family before the Lord and look forward to more great reports.

Blessings,

Well Bethani - one good thing about this whole ordeal...you have a great reason to get out of poopy diaper changes for a while!! All of Wyatt's stinkies can go straight to Brian - LOL!!!! If you play your cards right - he will be potty trained before you are "able" to change any more diapers!! Gotta look on the bright side - and sometimes it's a stretch to be able to find humor thru heartache! You can always count on me if you need a dose of sarcasm....I come fully loaded and prepared!
Love you lots,
Alana

Love & Prayer for your ENTIRE family

You do not know us but we are a part of the family of God. I read the prayer request on WNOP and we prayed for Bethani and then I found the blogsite on Debbie Saiz blogsite and decided to write a note.
May God's blessings be upon all of you as He continues to do His marvelous work. You are in our prayers.

Here it is Sunday! A week has gone by. Last week at this time things were grave!!!! But God is such an awesome God. In a week's time he has touched Bethani tremendously! Perhaps tomorrow, or in a few days she will be going home. Thank You, Jesus!!! Keep it up, Bethani!!!!

oh, here's a little story of my day to day tales as you know.....i had both the kids in the bath tub and they started fighting over who was closer to the water. so i start taking them out of the tub both of the screaming and crying and im singing twinkle twinkle little star but its not working, anyways i have both the kids on the bed trying to put their diapers on and look outside and see our stupid dog wandering around in the front yard acting like he dosent know what to do! so i throw both the kids in solomons crib..put some toys in there and run down the stairs outside. so then i get sampson out of our neighbors yard into the back yard and back up the stairs to the kids in like 3.5 seconds! lol
i swear my neigbors probably think im crazy... :)

Bethani & Family,

We have been praying with you and rejoicing as God's hand touched you. What an amazing victory report! Most of our church family is praying for someone they know only in spirit, but seeing the faith fill our church every time your progress reports are given is incredible.

In reading this blog today I see the thanksgiving from your family and just want to let all of you know that you are ministering, even now, by building the faith of The Church.

I just found out how close you are to us. Please let me know if I can help. I know Bethani is not ready for visitors, but we are here for all of you. 925.628.8657
