Day 40 - July 25 - Another prayer request
We have some good news and some bad news. First, the good news. Connor is now in the red bed, the one that doesn't go upside down! So that's really good news - his morning X-ray looks good, and his lungs "look really good", according to his nurses. So we're rejoicing in his move to the less-oppressive-o-pedic.
The bad news is that he has another fever - 103+ this time. He has been getting these regularly over the last week or so. The nurses say it's not in his lungs (good!), but probably stems from the wound near his trach. They're watching it and working to lower his temp. So that's good, too. The concern on the part of the patient's father is that a) the fever is the result of an infection somewhere in his body, or b) the fever is a result of a spinal injury high enough that the victim can't regulate his/her body temperature at all. Yes, I know I think too much - I'm working on it!
So please be praying for the boy and his temperature regulation, either as a result of a random fever or because of bigger issues. Pray that the boy stays out of the rotisserie beds for good this time. And please pray that his dad wouldn't think too much.

I think too much too. This will be my prayer focus for the rest of the day.

Eric-
I, like you, also have a "thinking" problem. I have made the following verse my mantra:
"Finally, brether, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."
Phil 4:8
My good friends refer to this as the TNRPLA (Pronounced tenurpula) verse because that is the acronym I use to remember it. I know it's not an astounding revelation but a gentle reminder that we all need. Focus on what is right and true!
I am praying!

Wow, so it sounds like there are quite a few other people here who, like me, THINK TOO MUCH! Should we start a club or support group or something? This is something I fight constantly. Why can't I just "let God and let go"? Well, I have decided to make that prayer for Eric my focus for a while too....oh, don't worry...I will still pray for Connor and the rest of the W's too!!!
Praying...may God sustain all of you as you continue to bless others with your faith and trust in His goodness.

Thinking too much will make you bald-headed! You are doing an awesome job doing just what you are supposed to do! Hang tough...God is still doing mighty work! "The Boy" is so special, mighty, strong and FULL OF GOD'S LOVE AND ADMIRATION!
Love you bunches and praying continuously. You all are on my mind 24 x 7!!!!! Wishing you and I were at a family reunion cutting up at the moment...gosh it's been such a long time since I've seen you, Kent, Brad and Melissa; hopefully soon we can get together.
Love,
Evalena
Eric,
Would you mind posting a message for all to see inviting those who felt led to join me in a day fast? It is Friday night now, I would like to have all who feel led to fast on Sunday for Connor. I would like to be very pointed on our requests to the Father in this fast. So please list details by:
1)
2)
3)
etc. I know that I could just fast on my own and God would accept it, but I truly feel that a corporate fast is appropriate and powerful at this time.
God has been glorified so much throughout this entire tragedy. Those of us who are led and willing to sacrifice our needs for Connor's needs is a way for us to honor Christ and to honor Connor and your entire family.
I love you and pray your thoughts will be captivated by God's promises and protected from satan's lies. Love you
Hey, guys! Sorry I didn't make it to see you today. The day just doesn't seem complete without you! You know, "a day withough the Williamsons is like a day without..." never mind!
Anyway, I am struggling a bit today and was just thinking about the saying that goes something like, "God may be slow, but he's never late." I wondered where that came from so I started searching...and one search lead to another and another ....and another.
I never did find my the answer. But there was one web article that was just what I needed to read today. Check it out: http://watkins.gospelcom.net/neverlate.htm
