Answered Prayer

I received a phone call from my mum at 3am this morning, she just couldn't wait for my daylight hours to let me know that Luke was ok, but like all mothers I wanted to hear it from Luke. So I needed to wait until it wasn't the wee small hours in Australia. I've just got off the phone with him, and he sounds fine. Apparently they did a dye test yesterday, and he has a vascular doppler test today, and if all goes well he'll be home this afternoon. All our prayers have been answered. Thank you so much for everyone who has had both him and our family in your prayers, they were all felt, and it was such a comfort to know that we were not alone in all of this.

Linda, what great news!

Our Savior really does hear our prayers. Just look at how many angels he had praying for your son and family.

Technology CAN be helpful. I'm glad I got the opportunity to add my thoughts and prayers to the many that were said in your son's behalf.

I know you must be joyful at this news. I'll continue to keep your family in my prayers. It is always difficult for a mom to be far away when her child is hurting.
