This is especially for those of you who do not have Facebook. So this morning, Seth was in a lot of pain and knew needed to go to the hospital. So we rushed out to take him. They were not letting anyone in to the hospital and we just had to drop him off.
They admitted him immediately and within the hour we received news from the doctor saying that it is a good thing that we got Seth to the hospital when we did because his appendix had ruptured about 12 hours prior and had a gangrenous end on it and was infected and the infection was starting to spread. So he will be in the hospital at least overnight if not possibly over the weekend. It all depends on how he does in recovery. He is doing well and is on the mend and will be on antibiotics and IV. They are not allowing anyone to visit or go into the hospital. So I will be waiting at home to hear when we can pick him up. Please keep him in prayer as he is in the hospital! Thank you so much for all your love and support through this.
We are praising God that we are home in America during this time and that we were able to rush to the hospital. Had we been in Vanuatu and in the bush at this time, things would look a lot different. We just keep thanking God for that! God is good has has perfect timing!
Will keep everyone posted as we hear more.
Thank you!

Heavenly Father, you are Sovereign to the details of our lives; and you Plans for us are not before your time or after your timing, but your timing is indeed, Perfect. I thank you for your direction to Have Seth get his Medical treatment and the Surgery for his Appendix. You are working behind the scenes when we do not see your hands working, you saw the appendix and his need to get healed and have surgery. Thank you, for your mighty plans for us and we know your Plans for Nicole and Seth are abundantly clear to preserve them during this Pandemic, to use them for your Glory.
I pray this in Jesus Name, through the Fellowship and Comfort and Power of the Holy Spirit! Amen!
Got it – so noted, Nikki!
