Our Current Situation



What a journey we have been on these past few weeks. What once was a curse is now such a comfort and a blessing. The insurance is still in the process of deciding if surgery is necessary and is now requiring us to get another CT scan. We have felt so much comfort as we have walked along this path and have once again felt strongly the need to take a step back and reevaluate the situation. We have always asked ourselves, "what is best for Beckam?" and have such a desire to give him every opportunity to succeed throughout his life. Up to this point we have felt the need for surgery and have taken the steps along this path and followed the promptings that we have had. I do believe that we have learned invaluable lessons and have grown spiritually, as individuals, as a family, in our marriage, and also provided opportunity for others the go to their knees in prayer in behalf of our little one and there find a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven.

We know that the insurance issues and Beckams fever at the time of the planned surgery was for a purpose and feel that we have walked to the edge of the light and are now asking, "what direction now?" We have decided to have a family fast on Sunday on behalf of Beckam so that we, as his mom and dad, will know which direction to take. We would like to invite any who would like to participate. We love you all and thank you so much for all of you love, thoughts, help, and prayers. Thank you for traveling this journey with us, you have truly helped lighten our burdens.
