Day 62 - August 16 - A good day
Evening approaches, and it's been a good day. Connor is still adjusting to the lower vent settings, and desatted a couple of times when he needed to have his trach suctioned, but the good news is that his heart has not reacted to that. His heartbeat has been remaining steady despite the desat, which is a big improvement over a week or so ago.
Connor laughed and joked all afternoon with his sister and and a very good friend, and he's had three other guys up in the room with him for the last three hours with a guitar and a songbook, so I'm guessing they're having a blast worshipping together as well. We also had a chance to visit with some friends while the kids goofed off with the boy, so we all benefitted from some uplifting fellowship.
It's such a blessing to be able to laugh for a few minutes. Thanks, Lord, for giving us such friends.
Granny's got to be at the airport at 0500, so I'm going to make this the last post of the night. Church in the morning, and we continue to pray. Tomorrow is a new day, with new mercies - maybe one of those will be the one!

Hi Eric and family,
I received this from a friend and I thought it might be helpful. I know it doesn't mean God's answer is always "no," but that maybe He wants us to go through tough times to learn from Him before He says, "Yes!" You know we are all praying for complete restoration for Connor. Hope this might be an encouragement in some way.
Here is what I received: "God Said No"
I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for Me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to Me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No. You must grow on your own! ,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
May God Bless You,
"To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you may be Christ!"
"May the Lord Bless you and keep you,
May the Lord make His face shine upon you,
and give you Peace.....Forever"
You continue to be in our prayers!
Kim & Ken Thomas & family
