See Ya! Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya!

Roy is going to be released at 11:00 tomorrow morning (4:00 EST), God willing. I've been saying that the past few days because I was reading in James to Roy the other day and read the verse that warns of saying "tomorrow we will do this, etc...but instead we need to say 'if the Lord wills". What a lesson:) So, God willing, we will be on a plane out of Krakow, Poland with the wheels up at 4:30 PM tomorrow afternoon. We have a small drive to the airport first but we will then take a straight flight into Chicago where we will take the flight to NC. Yes, this is supposed to all happen on December 23, so we are praying for no delays or bad weather!! We will see.

Roy had the best day yet, today. He looked great, and acted SO much like himself. Actually, it was a very boring day with just sitting around and waiting. At 11 am, Roy started the 24 hour countdown on his phone:) I know he was bored because when I went back to the hotel at lunch to start packing up, he called me two times just to talk. So, I went back over and he appeased me by watching Elf with me. I love that movie! He's a little annoyed that all I brought over was Christmas movies to watch.

It will feel so good to wake up (again, God willing) on Thursday morning and see our childrens' faces. Ironically, Roy Austin misses me the most. I figured Caroline would have a harder time, but Jane says that RoyBoy asks about me a lot. Talk about breaking a mommy's heart! I can't wait to hug them.

I'll update next time when we are in Boone. Again, thank you for all the prayers. A local pastor and his wife who do work with Samaritan's Purse came to Roy's room tonight to pray for him. They said they had their entire church praying for Roy's recovery. It is so humbling to know how many people all over the world have been and are praying for him. How awesome (Denise, the word is appropriate!!) and how very, very kind. Thank you so much. We are so blessed!
