Day 115 - October 8 - Something new
I'm sitting in Connor's room, blogging while the boy falls asleep. I'll keep this short. This evening I was checking Connor's chest for congestion (by gently pressing on his chest to feel the air moving into and out of his lungs) and he suddenly exclaimed "Dad!". I looked into his face and he said "Do that again!", so I pushed on his left chest and he said "I feel that!"
I don't have the words to describe how that makes me feel, to hear those words. We experimented and found a spot near his armpit below his collar bone where he feels and can identify pressure. Not gentle touches yet, but by pressing moderately on his chest he can feel me doing it.
I praise God because of this. This is a new thing. I believe it is an answer to our prayers. We give Him glory and honor and praise for His working in the boy. I believe the Lord is going to fully restore Connor in this life, and I believe this is a sign of that progression. Praise the Lord!
In addition to telling you about this news, I will also ask that you continue to lift each of us up as we struggle to get ready for the boy to come home. I can't believe it's only a week or so away...
Finally, I've been asked to consider another day of fasting for those who want to take part. The originally suggested date is now so close that it's too close, if you know what I mean. So I'd like to offer up Monday 10/13 as a day where we can corporately pray and fast, lifting up the boy in prayer. If you have comments or suggestions, please post them up.
God is good. All the time.
Eric

Tears of Joy, our God is always so good. Just remember, Family, when you bring Connor home it will be like every other new experience you've gone through in this journey, the newness will scare you but it doesn't have to,John 6:2 keep remembering in your head and heart that after a week or two you will be pros and it will all become as just normal you will all do beautiful and you will have the best Thanksgiving you have ever dreamed of God is always with you and He will inable you for every task.
Fasting and praying on the 13th. is the best idea yet! Count me in and I will be spreading the word around Downey, we have lots of commited prayer warriors in this town 8-)

WOW! This is awesome news. The Williamson family continues to be in my daily thoughts and prayers. I wish nothing but the best for Connor's recovery and the remodel on your house. How exciting this must be but also a bit scary. Our God is an aswesome God!
We have such an awesome GOD. HE continues on with HIS plan for Connor and his healing.
Remember when Connor was born and you were bringing him home for the first time??? You were afraid then but GOD saw you all through.
Keep on, keeping on and GOD will see you through again and again.
GOD bless...

Connor,
You'll soon be doing the "dance of joy!"

Dear Williamson Family,
Praise God that he is answering your prayers. I will continue to lift you up. I know that God is beginning to restore Conner 100%.
Thank you Heavenly Father. You are faithful indeed.
Amen
Eric, You can count on me to the fasting and praying from Sunday evening through Monday evening for Connor. I really like what Carolyn said about Connor's earthly father's touch being felt and now we wait for his Heavenly Father's touch of healing. :)
