Day 17 - July 2 - Still there

Connor is still in the bed. His numbers are still 40%/100. The doctors are still pleased with his progress.

I wish I had something better to report, but today seems to have been a day of waiting.

This seems to be a good time to reiterate our latest prayer requests -

- That Connor's oxygen levels would be stable so that he can be removed from the Rotisserie
- That his lungs would take over for the respirator and he could be removed from that as soon as possible
- That he would regain feeling, movement, and control of all his body - at this time he has none, but we are confident in our Lord
- That God would arrange everything so that Connor can quickly leave the ICU and be moved closer to home
- That God would be preparing the best rehab spot possible for Connor
- That God would miraculously heal and make all those preparations unnecessary!

Additionally -

- That God would lift and minister to Connor's spirit, encouraging and strengthening him in this time of trial
- That we would have clear understanding of Connor's communications until he gets his trach out
- That God would provide protection from spiritual attack, both for Connor and for our family
- That God would refresh Cherié, Joélle and I to take the next step of the journey
- That we would faithfully fulfill the roles in which God has placed me, my son and my family

Thank you for your diligent, fervent prayers. God sustains us with the thought of your web of support.

please know that i have prayed and will continue pray for all of these things you have written. i so appreciate all of the updates and knowing where God is working out His small(and large :-) )miracles along the way. thank you for being so raw and vulnerable with your writing. your hearts are being felt worldwide.

one of my favorite things that i know about God the bible and His word:

. . . his mercy endureth forever . . .

it is written 136 times in the book of Psalms. i think it must have been important to Him.

Love you all!

God continues to put Connor and your family on our hearts throughout the day. We will rejoice with you when you rejoice (lots of little steps of progress equals one big step) and will continue to weep with you as you weep. (Romans 12:15).
