Where Does It Stop?

I know my amazing husband will have a greater perspective to share soon, but tonight, for me the world is bittersweet as a dear friend so appropriately put. Today we have a beautiful, healthy, new baby boy and are experiencing one of the greatest joys God could ever give. There are no words to describe what it's like. But today I feel the sorrow for my husband of watching his body "come apart" We got a really tough report from Jonathan's surgeon today. The front of his foot is continuously bleeding and has now begun deteriorating, his elbow which we have been praying for, for some time now, has a hole through it and he fears losing that arm all together and his one good wrist has developed arthritis as well due to the hemophilia.... Overwhelming to say the least, but even more, for me heartbreaking to watch the love of my life suffer. We have seen such a sudden developement of rapid deterioration in his body since January. It's been so mind boggling. We have fought it, we have prayed, we have cried and tonight.... I just want to know when it will stop. To watch the strength of a man be so tested and to watch him fight to see the joy of life in it all changes me daily.... I am ruined for the ordinary mindset and yet my heart breaks. As always, we covet your friendship and your seeking of God's hand and heart in it all......
