Day 64 - August 18 - Stepping down!
The doctor poked her head in this afternoon to tell us that they no longer consider Connor an ICU patient! His status is now good enough to move him to the "step down unit", which is an intermediate step between ICU and "regular hospital" located up on the 10th floor. So the first step out of the hospital is upon us! Praise the Lord!
Ironically, and as I mentioned in an earlier post, this brings its own fear and trepidation - will the care be sufficient? Will the people be as good? We don't know anybody there! And so on... Connor and I immediately prayed about it, praying that God would gather the right people around us, that it would be a positive and good thing, and that we would find believers there who would help us through the transition.
Later this afternoon, we were talking about this with some folks who had come by to pray with Connor. This fellow had just come out of the step down unit a few weeks ago and had wanted to share his story with the boy. As we spoke about this, he and his wife commented that every one of their nurses in step down had been believers! So we were uplifted to already get to see God's hand of provision even before we get there!
They can't tell us when he will move, as it is dependent on the availability of a bed there. We will be sure to tell you when the time comes.
Connor continues to be in somewhat lower spirits. Please continue to pray for his emotional well being. Also, Cherié and Joélle haven't yet arrived in Fresno, although I expect them here fairly shortly. I appreciate your continued prayers for all this stuff.
God is good.

Connor, God indeed has a plan, and we are blessed to be able to share in the joy of your move out of ICU and onto the 10th floor. I will continue to praise God for his goodness, for his protection over you and your family, for God to uplift your spirit, and for the body of the Blog to continue to praise our God for his favor upon you! With love & prayers,
Greetings =)
Remembered ya'll this evening while I read 2 Cor. 1.
2 Cor. 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles...
I don't know if I'm taking this out of context (please tell me if I have), but this also reminded me of you guys. In Prov. 2:9, it says that God gives wisdom, and if we truly seek His Word, we'll understand every good path. This made me think about when the Israelites were escaping from the Egyptians and God caused the Red Sea to separate, and He made a path for His people to walk through that sea. I was thinking that in God's sovereignty, He has led you to this sea, and He also has made a clear path for you all straight through it.
God bless.
