Day 16 - Were not out of the woods, however, today I give thanks... When I stood holding your hand as you waited to be prepped I prayed. For you, for me, for Wes &Kayc, for your mom & your sister and I prayed that God would guide the surgeons hands. I prayed whilst I sat waiting, should my faith not be strong enough, please hear those who have a telephone line straight to You... As the time dragged on and I drank hot sugared TEA to swallow the fear, I lied to our children about the time you were in theatre... When you came and sat beside me, I begged Gary (Mickey/Bill/Alf/your dad/my dad) to stand in your way to turn you away as you felt the need to follow the light. God was in theatre, I posted others to crowd the exits! You leopard crawled through quicksand, an Afghanistan dust storm and 20 million Mondi forests to be wheeled past me into ICU. Over the next 4 days the heart, supposed to have been fixed 2 years ago, the one Id come to believe you never had attacked you 6 times. Still God stood beside you as the exits were body blocked. Friends we havent seen for years were praying, national prayer lists, home cell groups, healing circles, balancing, people in their offices, homes, cars all had your name on their lips (that sounds like the radio programme we used to listen to way back then). Chelle and I cried silently each day refusing to believe that this could be it Kayc walked in to them jump starting your heart. Then you rallied, then you fell! three times!!! I recalled your moms story of the time you fell out the moving car, because at 18 months you had to see how it felt to fall out of a moving car!!! When she got to you, you were dusting yourself off looking around for the car... its how you probably looked now, drugged, looking around wondering why the hell you werent home servicing your bike!!! Yesterday the sister spotted something and suggested a solution, Drs found the chest infection and youre back!!! Winking, shaking hands, holding hands, squeezing hands asking to be fed and watered and my tears are happy tears. Marky saw the road back from the awful memory he carries, God still stands beside you holding you in the palm of his hand, the exits are still blocked, Garys hosting a celebration up there for us down here, for me, since I chose to trust, whilst walking THIS walk and talking THIS talk, have staggered a few times my Neville Oliver Today the sun has come up and you slept well by your own self!!! My son and Little One its still a way to go on this journey, however, if Thank You is the only prayer you pray today, tomorrow and every day thereafter, it is enough xxx mommy Wesley Neville Oliver & Kaycee Elize Oliver
