Tomorrow starts the beginning of various interviews with newspapers, magazines and television reporters. Am I ready? Not really. I am, however, ready to move forward and look for new possibilities and treatments for Julia but I'm not super excited to talk about these past 6 months and all the painful emotions that drudges up.
Tomorrow, Patricia LaGuillard, from La Depeche newspaper will be over to interview Steve and me. Patricia is an amazing journalist and mother, who also has had a sick child of her own. She has been very accurate in the many articles she's written about us and sympathetic to our situation. It will be sad to recount to her our many disappointments with this IVF process but at the same time, it will be an opportunity to share with her the hope we have in Christ.
Steve is already pursuing different medical leads and possible treatments for Julia back here in France. "It's not the end for Association Julia, rather it's just the beginning", He says.
We haven't yet sat down together and decided exactly what our involvement will be for DEPJ (Double Espoir Pour Julia) this year. But we both agree that it needs to continue if not for us, for other families with children of rare, genetic blood diseases. This would continue to bring hope to many others.
We join with you and others in praying that the Lord will give both of you just the right words to share in all of your interviews, to express your faith and hope in Him. And we pray that the Lord will bring complete healing to Julia, bringing everyone great joy and bringing Him great glory. Love and God bless, Pam and Tom W.
