July 4th in the Hospital

Happy 4th!

We are hanging in there. Yesterday was a good day for Luke. Today is not so good of a day. The nausea and the pain comes in waves. We are not sure when we will be coming home. The good news is that something is going on with his colon. He has had three bowel movements since Friday, so that is new. Amy and I are still in that place of not being so sure all is well. When Luke can eat and poop without the nausea and develop some consistency in his bowel movements, then we will feel more at peace. Continue to pray for us. We are not out of the woods yet.

As promised in an earlier post, here is our music video. Unfortunately, I am in the video way more than Luke and the video was shot sideways by my good friend, Patrick Harmon, who is doing his residency here at Baptist Hospital. Patrick and I worked together in youth ministry at Westminster PCA in Rock Hill back in 1997-2001. The girls in the video are his daughters and nieces.

So, the video. Thanks to my neighbors, Liz and Jordan, for turning me on to Rebecca Black’s classic, “Friday”. This song has not only captured my heart, but also my imagination (and has also kept me up nights). The video was shot on location from the rooftop playground on the 12th floor of Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, “Friday” (remember, Patrick shot it sideways, so you will either have to turn your laptop sideways or crick your head to the right). Enjoy!

And and outtake with Amy:
