Chris that is, is doing extremely well. He will probably be able to come home tomorrow. Which is a huge blessing. What is next, well we do not know yet. We are still waiting for the final results of what exactly we are dealing with. Then a course of treatment will be planned. But for now we are just living each day, knowing it is a gift.
Chris's Emily came in last night and that was just the right thing to give him encouragement. You could just see the joy he felt having her here to be with him. As they walk this path together I know that they are being refined and made stronger. God is going to use all of this for a purpose greater then they can imagine. I feel sadness about all that my son has endured - but look forward to how God is going to use it in his life. God turns all things to good for those who love Him and Chris definitely loves the Lord.
On another note, while waiting during the surgery in the waiting room, there were several of Chris's friends as well as some of John and mines. As we waited one of my friends, Rille, started us praying every 1/2 hour. After an hour one of the girls, Kristina, felt led to worship God in song,(she's a worship leader :-)) so she sang a beautiful song. This began a time of worship right there in the waiting room. It was so beautiful, our group singing and worshiping God. Today one of the directors of the hospital commented that people through out the hospital were talking about the worship they heard. Wow - God you are so worthy of our worship

Dawn,
Thank you for keeping us updated on Chris and his surgery. I know it must be hard to have write about it but it touches so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Chris and the family. I'm so glad you guys have so many prayer and praise warriors surrounding you. What a blessing it must be to you and everyone around you. I can't imagine what it is like to have a sick child. A Big Hug (()) to you all.
Simply Beautiful Dawn! Joy in the midst of sorrow. Only our God can receive glory for this. Our prayers and petitions to God are a beautiful aroma. We stand with you, for you, and beside you in prayer.
Love to you all,

Dear Dawn,
I just recently read Chris's and the Champion family's blog. I (along with several of John's Oxy friends and co-workers)am extremely sorry to hear of John's condition and Chris's recent surgery. I am glad your son is doing well. Your family's strength and devotion to God in spite of your struggles is extremely inspiring! Your family has endured so much, yet remains so strong. May God bless you all. Please give my regards to John.
The Journey Continues ~
Dawn and Champion family,
Please know that our hearts and prayers are with you daily!
We Love Chris & look forward to having him back at the beach house.
Blessings,
