There's always SUNSHINE in the RAIN!

Everytime we start to slip in the rain we can always look up and see the sunshine even though it sometimes takes awhile.
Caleb is improving everyday...really! On Tuesday night Caleb slept for 10 hours (all the way till 6am) It's a record! I was able to sleep seven hours! How heavenly...I don't remember the last time I slept that well. But I did wake up a couple of times to check on him...it was weird not being woken up. This morning Caleb woke up earlier though but when I laid down next to him in his bed he put his head right up against mine and fell back asleep and we slept till the nurse arrived. I know he was happy that I slept next to him. Caleb continues to get lots and lots of therapy by my mom and uncle and my dad who continues to massage him...and the nurses too. The therapy is really good for him. Everyone sees the change in him from all of it. Good job mom! You're really doing so great with "Kamakana" and it's soooo much help! Thanks :) I can see the change in you too. My neice Callie keeps him company when she comes home from school...I know he really likes having her around everyday...like how it was when they were living closer.
As for Brandon and I...We talked today and it went really good. We both are learning so much through all of this and it really is bringing us closer. As we draw apart from each other with all the stress, God continues to pull us back together and teach us a lesson about one another and he reminds us of our love for one another and that He put us together for a reason...to bring out the best in one another and help one another to grown in Christ through our differences. He's testing us but our love for one another will only be stronger in the end. It's so hard many times and it's been very hard lately. I continue to look to God through it all...the source for all my needs. I've realized so much and have seen a change in myself towards certain things. I'm also reading "The Power of a Praying Wife" Oh my, you must read it! It's a great book and it's something I definitely need right now. It's opening my eyes to a lot of my faults and is teaching me why it is so important for a wife to pray for her husband. And I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful women's group too! They are my favorite people to talk to through it all! Thanks everyone, I really wouldn't be able to do it all with out you...I love you all! See...God really did prepare me for this and put me in the right place with the best people! Thank you Lord!
Thank you all for your prayers...see I told you they are so powerful! There's a bit of sunshine now! Caleb is going to be fully recovered one day. There's no doubt about that. We just don't know when God is going to make it happen. But it is this time in between that is so critical and hard. This is the time for our hearts to change. We are changing. Like I said we do slip here and there but we get back up and see where we went wrong and keep on walking forward. THAT is what changes us so much. It's when we realize what has happened or what was said and change it..and change our heart towards whatever went on. We just have to keep our head up and continue to live each day as best as we can to become more like Christ. We continue to look forward and can't wait to see Caleb running around again and talking up a storm.
Oh yeah, a couple of our nurses went ahead and found us another neurologist! Thanks nurse "Greg F." (haha) So this one is really good so I've heard.
Well, God Bless you all! We love you.

Hi Kehau...wanted to drop you a note before we took off for Hilo...Rach said she saw you in church yesterday but didn't tell me till church was all done - boo hoo...I am glad that everything is going well. You are a blessing and I often think about you,Brandon, Caleb and Micaiah when I am going through a struggle...you guys are my life compass...whenever I find myself complaining or whining God always leads me back to you and how you live your life....thank you...have a great week...enjoy WITW...I'll see you when I get back. Rach & I will continue to keep you and your precious family in prayer. Remember to always speak what you want...loud and certain...speak the things that are not as if they are...
Love You!
Nat & Rach
