Happy Birthday, Hudson!

Tomorrow is little Hudson's first birthday. His brothers and Grandpa and Grandma will be heading over to Seattle to celebrate with him. He's too little to understanding everything that's been happening lately. Last week, Hudson underwent 6 hours of surgery to partially remove the tumor at the base of his skull. Parts of the tumor could not be removed because it is intertwined with the nerves in his face. Gradually, little Hudson has regained some normal functions, though he's not out of danger yet. His tumor is a rare cancer and he will likely undergo chemotherapy treatments to destroy what remains of the tumor.

It's difficult not to be fearful. I know I can trust God and that He has plans for Hudson of which we are not aware. Still, His plans are unseen and we are left in our frailty to trust Him. There is always hope (as my sweet boyfriend has reminded me).

Please continue to carry Hudson and his family to Jesus. You may also check out the online journal Hudson's Mom has been keeping. Follow the link provided and click visit. Then, under site name, enter hudsontaylor. You will be blessed.
