Day 11 - June 26 - Fever Down & More
I was speaking with Eric on the phone when Joélle beeped in to tell him that Connor's fever has subsided. Another prayer has been answered in the affirmative.
Eric was back home taking care of bills, etc. His plan is to stay there tonight and head back to the hospital in the morning. Pray for the details of life when he, Cherié and Joélle are living 2 and 1/2 hours from home. Things like paying bills can become an issue. Thanks to all the folks who have been taking care of Tank (the dog) and Eric's house. This is a huge help.
Eric spoke at length about his new friend Tod. Tod is the former marine-turned-pastor. He is big, he is black, and he and Eric have become fast friends. Eric spoke of how they have been there for each other at just the right moments. Tod is a great man of prayer and has showed up at this hospital at the perfect moment to encourage and support Eric and Cherié. And it goes both ways. Tod's 22 year-old daughter was driving and was hit from behind and pushed into the path of another vehicle. She has swelling in the brain and is in need of your prayers. Pray also for the new friendships that have formed as the result of two tragedies.
Eric was encouraged by word they received from two different people who had suffered C4/C5 injuries. Both were long recoveries, but both are back on their feet and are living productive lives and pursuing their dreams. Pray for Connor's recovery and healing.
Eric also talked about the "church" that has formed on this blog. Thanks to all of you for making it great place of prayer, scripture, encouragment, teaching, & support. There are those that long for this type of connectedness in their local churches.
Thanks,
Kent

It is a wonderful "church" and an honor to be here daily, often times three or four times in a day.
I want to invite all to the happenings with Connor and family and doctors and friends. At any time in a person's life, with doubts about God's love and compassion, may I remember to point them here. An experience with God and His Children that encourages one to kneel and confess Jesus as Lord.
Thank you Eric for your daily testimony you share so vividly, so humanly, so fatherly. I vision a torch you carry for all men, mirroring the way to the alter of intervention for your very family. We should all echo your prayers.
Peace, Be Still. Glory to God.
Is there a blog or some such for Vanessa, Tod's daughter? A way to expand her community through Connor?
Praise God for another answered prayer on bringing the fever down. And isn't it so much like God to put the perfect match for Eric in that hospital at this specific time. What a loving Father God is to do that.
AMEN TO THIS "CHURCH!! I am finding out from so many friends that I send to "Connor Watch" and ask for their prayers, that they are blessed by the faith of this family! I am blessed to know this family!
Continually praying and rejoicing in answered prayers to date. Awaiting news on Vanessa.
In HIS Love,
Carolyn Brogan
Like so many others, our family is praying for you and Connor. Our paths crossed 2 years ago in Mexico when our family, yours and several others worked together to build a simple brown home in Mexico through "La Casa." You are in our prayers.
"The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever -- do not abandon the works of your hands." Ps 138:8
