Day 127 - October 20 - Another first
But not really the kind you were expecting. Today was the first day I had to go to work since Connor came home. Have I told you before that we're exhausted? That seems to be the only word I keep coming back to when I try to describe our days... 8-)
Cherié managed to finish her day with some assistance from Joélle and Alan (who's visiting from Chicago this week), and I managed to keep my mind mostly on my work while I was there. As near as I can tell, there wasn't anything particularly exciting about today - Connor was very, very tired and spent most of the day sleeping. Cherié spent most of her day wishing she could have done the same!
Seriously, some new developments have been happening over the last day or so. First, yesterday Connor began to move his head without tilting it, which takes muscles lower in your neck than he was previously using. That was pretty cool, and he also shrugged his shoulder once yesterday. I was thanking God for those things this morning, and began praying earnestly that He would give the boy some new feelings below his neck today. So, while we were putting Connor to bed tonight, I shifted his position and he said "for the first time, my shoulder blade ached when you did that".
I did just a tiny dance of joy. 8-)
You know, I continue to be impressed by how God provides for us in this. I'm not too good at staying in that mindset, but it's really amazing how good God is.

You know our LORD heals in many different ways. HE does the instant miracle, heals through medications, surgery, and time. Because Connor wasn't healed instantly or through surgery does not mean he won't be healed. Time is what GOD seems to be using for Connor's healing.
Isn't HE great!?!?!? Just like GOD to keep us on our Spiritual 'toes'.
To GOD be the glory for the things HE has done...
What a lovely way to end this day.
Connor is moving and feeling - GOD is so good.
GOD bless and good night.
Way cool...!
Praying continually for healing & restoration for Connor. God Is so Good! What better way to give you all hope & encouragement.

Have a Blessed Tuesday.
In His grace,

I will be praying today specifically for Connor. I am so happy to hear about the feeling and movement! I know Connor being home will help in his healing as well...Doctors don't know everything! Being with friends and family in your own environment is a healing in itself! Praise God for his mercy, your wonderful network of helpers, prayers and fasting!
Have a truly blessed day in the Lord!
I used to complain when I had aches and pains. I don't complain as much as I used to. Thanks Connor!
Rejoicing with you over the miracle of new movement and sensations. How great is the Father's love for us--how precious His compassion and care.
Thank you for sharing the blessings. We continue to pray and I'm misty-eyed as I write this. GOD IS SO GOOD!!! Connor, we love you and miss you and pray for your healing. Cherié, I'll be praying for you specifically that you'll find time to rest. Or I should say TAKE time...you won't find it. :)
Love to you all. We're praying and believing!!!

You go Connor! You will be signing soon! I'm proudly wearing my Connorwatch bracelet. Blessings to you and your family.
Great news Connor! Praise God!
Eric, I was a passenger in a metal cigar tube, flying through your airspace yesterday, so this was "mostly" comforting ... "I managed to keep my (exhausted?) mind mostly on my work while I was there."
Hang in there brother ...
Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
