Day 13 - June 28 - A Small Step...
I spoke with the nurse at length about Connor's current condition. His neck is stabilized; he has his trach and his peg (feeding tube); and they are working on his pneumonia. Once they get his lung condition where they want it, he could be considered stable. Yesterday they had him on 100% oxygen to keep his saturation up - this morning it is at 50% and his saturation is still good. The nurse says that the desired level is below 40%, so we're almost there.
Once we get there, the rehab folks will get to work. On Monday we will meet with the discharge people to begin figuring out the whens, whats, and wheres for getting the boy closer to home. Be praying that God would be preparing the perfect spot for Connor closer to home - we have our eyes on Valley Medical Center, but God knows better than us. Please be praying that the perfect spot for Connor is available when the time comes. I'm praying that the perfect spot for him is upstairs in his own room at home.
Connor was asleep when I went in to see him today (how rude!), so I haven't spoken with him this morning. His granny says that he had a full night's sleep and is still resting peacefully, which is all good.
Prayer needs for this morning - that God would encourage Connor, teaching and comforting the boy with His word; that Cherie would remain healthy and encouraged; that our family would be strengthened through this trial, and not damaged; that God would see fit to restore Connor fully, with full use of his body and limbs, for His glory.
Let's go see what today brings...

Here is some help in communicating with Conner. Begin by saying A B C D...have Conner blink or raise eyebrow when you guess the right letter; ask 1 2 3 4...for how many letters are in the word. It can become a game; we used this some with Mom when she had her trach, and we use this method totally with our cousin DJ. Start with a consonant and follow with A E I O U. It's usually fairly easy to guess once you have a couple of letters.
Give our love to Conner!

Just wanted to let you know I'm still praying for you all, and especially for Connor. Please tell him hello for me and let him know I'm praying for him and love him.
Thanks,

Hey Connor!!
It's great to see you awake, upright, aware and smiling! Just want to let you know that you have a ginormous group of people praying for you all over the world. Who knew you were so popular?! ;) Lee and I continue to pray for you day and night. He's answered many prayers so far and we look forward to what He's going to do next.
Stay strong, buddy. Keep your mind fixed on Jesus. He is your strength, your hope, your comfort and your peace.

We're still praying for Connor too!
My neighbor's son was in an accident when he was eighteen. They took him to Valley Medical, and she said it was the best in our area.
We'll pray that God leds to you His best.
I am praying for you and praising the Lord that you are choosing to be making much of Him in the place where He has put you at this moment in time. Give Connor a hug for me. Love, Melinda Thoma
Hi, guys,
We are sure praying for you each day--may His joy be your strength! Don't know if any of your family/friends that are in the area need a place to worship, but we would be honored to have you at Eastside. Service is at 10 AM and is located at 2165 Gettysburg in Clovis (Temperance and Gettysburg).
"Don't worry about tomorrow, today has enough worries of its own." "My strength is sufficient for you..." "You have EVERYTHING you need for life and godliness." Jesus
Love,
Kristie, Wade and Scott Robinson plus kids

P.S. Looking forward to meeting you, Connor!!
Conner, Eric, Cherie, Joelle,
We pray each day for peace and comfort for you all. I feel so helpless and all that I can think of to help, is pray.
Love
Joey & Cindy
