Day 41 - July 26 - Temperature Fluctuations
Tough day. Connor slept most of it, and the moments when he was lucid were few and far between. Additionally, the temperature changes I mentioned in the previous post bear mentioning in more detail so that you can more effectively pray. Specifically, Connor seems to be having difficulty regulating his body temperature. Normally, a fever caused by an infection will gradually increase and decrease. Connor's temperature changed and fluctuated wildly over the last 24 hours or so, from a high of 103F to a low of 93F. Yes, that's nearly hypothermic, and that was after they got his temp back up a bit - before that, the nurses couldn't get a temperature reading because his temp was below the minimum reading on their thermometers.
The research I did today on this says that this is usually the case with spinal injuries at T6 and above, and makes the victim dependent on their environment to control their body temperature.
My first inclination is to get frustrated and worried about this new development. So I bring it to you for prayer, because the pile of complications seems endless.
My second inclination is to say "Praise the Lord! He's really getting set to do an even mightier miracle than I had previously imagined!"
Please be praying for him, that his temperature would regulate in defiance of the research. Please pray that he would have no fear or terror because of the medications he's on, and that he would have peace as he sleeps. Please pray for spiritual protection for him as he sleeps.
I'm trusting my Father to take care of my boy. Restore my son, Lord.

Dear Eric, I am praying for your son and better then that I remembered a verse so looked it up and ask Jesus to please intercede for your Son.
Jesus praying to the Father
John 17:9 my prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given Me, because they belong to you.(10)and ALL of them, sense they are mine, belong to you; and you have given them back to me, So they are MY glory!(11) now Iam departing the world; I am leaving them behind and coming to you. Holy Father, keep them and care for them-all those you have given me-so that they will be united just as we are. (12) During my time here,I have kept them safe. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for distruction, as the scriptures foretold.(13) And now Iam coming to you I have told them many things while I was with them so they would be filled with my joy.
(14) I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not. (15) I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one
Father in heaven this is my prayer that you will guard and protect Connor tonight body, soul and spirit and that tomorrow will be an exciting and encourageing day as many fast and pray for Connor, we surrender him to your care Father, In Jesus name, Amen!

Los Gatos
Fasting with you in Texas....
Stand Firm
Continuing to pray for you all. May Psalms 100:4&5 bless you today.
"Enter His gates with thanksgiving & His courts with praise, give thanks to Him & praise His name.
For the Lord is good & His love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through
all generations."
...I'm singing....What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! Praying for Connor's whole restoration!
Fasting & praying! Hallelujah for He does great things! We will not fear, we rest in You Lord, we trust in You, we pray Your perfect will to be done in Connor's life. We pray for a miracle, heal him Father God, restore his body and allow him to stand and walk again for You. As we all pray and some fast today, may the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart be acceptable in Your sight, for You alone are our Strength and our Redeemer, Ps 19:14. Your Word is true, Your promises are true. You have told us where two or more are gathered in Your name You will answer them according to Your perfect will. We claim that promise through Jesus Christ. In the precious name of Jesus we ask these things,
Amen
To God be the glory, great things He hath done!
My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty.
There's nothing my God cannot do.
My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty.
There's nothing my God cannot do.
The mountains are His, the rivers are His, the stars are His handiwork too.
My God is so big, so strong and so mighty.
There's NOTHING OUR GOD CANNOT DO!
We are fasting, praying, believing and trusting God for Connor and for all of you... May He surround you with His peace..may He protect you from fear, may He overwhelm you with His presence.. May He give you rest and comfort..
We are holding you so close to our hearts.
Love,
The MacPhail's and New Hope Community Church, Gilroy,Ca
