I got tears in my eyes when Drew named the newest video, “It was Worth Going Here.” He is referring to the fact that having surgery and living with all unpleasantries of recovery will be worth it if he is pain-free in the end. Although Drew does have difficult moments, for the most part he is positive and enjoying the days with his brother and sister. Of course, keeping him occupied is one of our challenges. Drew loves the Anamoto videos, so today I suggested we create one using pictures from the days in the hospital. First I collected all the pictures and told Drew he could choose which ones we would use. I clicked on each picture and suggested he say YES or NO. After he responded with a YES to the first 15 pictures we agreed to just include them all.
Next we needed to choose the music. Drew was adamant that it be a song about “friends” since so many friends had visited him in the hospital. We spent over an hour listening to all available songs. None of them was exactly what he had in mind except one that we had already used. Drew did not think we should use a song more than once. Finally I suggested we use that song for now with the promise that tomorrow we’ll continue the search for the perfect song about friends. (Have I mentioned that Drew tends to be a bit of a perfectionist?)
So, here is Drew’s video as it stands now:
Please continue to pray for this amazing little boy.

We’re continuing to pray for Drew that the pain would go away. I started looking at the slideshow and enjoyed the ones that I’ve seen, but the Internet in the hospital is slooow. I’m just glad that they have wireless connection now, woohoo! I hope that our boys are back to normal soon, with no pain and no breathing difficulties. Have a wonderful weekend!
