Coming Home!!

Hi All.. this is Sarah. I saw my aunt Cristal thoughtfully wrote a blog today, but I thought I would fill you in on some more news. :) WE ARE COMING HOME TOMORROW!!
All of us here are excited and anxious to get back home. We are tired of eating hospital food, living out of a hotel, sleeping in uncomfortable hospital chairs, and I am personally tired of it being so cold!! :) I shiver everywhere I go!
This last week has been a long one for my family. One filled with tears. One filled with frustrations. And worries. But strangely through all of that we have laughed a lot! I'm not going to lie when my brothers are doped up on morphine and pain killers they say some of the funniest things! :) But they have also said vulnerable things, showing their fears and frustrations. Showing their pain. One of the first days Sam was awake and alert, he asked my dad if he was going to die? And Schuyler continually asks us if he will ever be the same and when he will ever get out of here? Sometimes those questions are hard to answer. A lot of times they bring tears. When my mom first told Sam that he was in a car wreck, he hit her! He was not going to accept that. :) But both have said sweet things. Things they would have never said otherwise. Schuyler, everyday tells us he loves us. And one of the first nights we were here he confessed to Shane that he "just needed Jesus"! He knows now. He knows all he needs! Our Lord and Savior is his only comfort, He is the only one that can break through the pain, and the drugs..haha..and give him the peace he needs.
Today I was talking to a lady that has a baby next to Schuyler's room, and I we were just chatting and talking about why we are here and all that, and at one point I told her that despite everything, I was just so happy and thankful that my brothers are alive. The peace of God swept over my soul in that moment.. all the other frustrations and burdens seemed to melt in those words. My family is thankful for the gift of life, and for everything that everyone has done for us! We are humbled by your kindness. Thank you for being Jesus to us. :)
So we head home tomorrow.. PRAISE GOD!! But we also ask as one last favor to all.. that you try to keep visits to a minimum. Schuyler and Sam both struggle and sometimes they feel uncomfortable, and we don't want to wear them out at all. But to the Robinson family.. Schuyler really wants to see Tom. He told Seth today. :) I think that will be healing for Tommie and Schuyler.
God Bless and see you in Illinois!

PS- on a funny note.. Sam is as awnry as ever, and continually enjoys torturing the nurses! He hasn't changed a bit, and he is still ready and willing to talk about sports till the cows come home. So if anyone wants to talk sports?.. He's your man. :)
