Day 214 - January 14 - Rough nights
Connor ran a fever most of the night last night, for no really apparent reason. Fortunately it seems to have broken today, but the last couple of days have been tiring for him. He spent yesterday sleeping in bed, though he did get up into his chair this afternoon for a few hours. He's pretty tired tonight, as he got little sleep last night. Cherié says she saw every hour of the clock last night.
This week marks the first time that someone outside our family is coming in regularly to help Cherié each day. In Cherié's words, "What a blessing!!" She is a close family friend and fits perfectly into our family. She is helping out Monday through Friday, from 10-2 pm. Although we miss our sweet, loving, and quirky daughter, our friend is going to be a wonderful help and much-needed extra hand around here.
Please be praying for us and our nights - a number of things seem to indicate that spiritual warfare continues to be a matter of concern for us - there have been a number of things over the last few days to confirm that we must remain on our guard and be prepared spiritually to stand firm. We remain convinced that God is working in and through Connor for His glory, and any such thing will draw opposition. Please continue to support him and us by providing prayer cover for us. We thank you.
Tomorrow afternoon a social worker is coming by to evaluate us to see if Connor qualifies for financial assistance for caregivers. Please remember that in your prayers as well, that the interview will go well and that a favorable result will come about. Right now, we are paying for our help out of our pockets, and help will be gratefully accepted. So we are praying that God would be faithful and gracious during this evaluation tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you.

Oh yes, I will be praying for a good review, whatever the outcome! I know God is One of love, compassion, and of power, keep holding on to Him you guys! I am asking the Lord right now for guidance, peace, patience, and a really good rest for all of you. Connor, I hope you get better quickly =). The Wednesday Elijah prayer meeting prayed for Connor again, I love knowing that so many others are lifting you and the family up every moment of the day! May God bless you and keep you tonight and into tomorrow!

I've been praying and following from the beginning. I have been blessed by your genuine faith and your determination to give glory to God. I know it is hard to keep the mind focused upon God and his glory. I wanted to pass on something that really helps me to do that. You may already do it. I listen to many teachings on my computer everyday. I have wireless speakers that I take with me from room to room while I work. I thought that maybe Cherié and Connor listening to some of the same teachings during the day could help renew their minds and make for some great theological conversations.

My prayers for your family I know are much more helpful then my suggestions so I will continue to pray for you all. Romans 12:1-3

Praying with confidence that God knows, sees, hears, and loves--in ways that are beyond our understanding.
Can't imagine there would be any question at all that Connor wouldn't qualify for caregiver assistance, but I'll keep thinking positive...just in case. Glad you were able to get some help around the house Cherie - sure every bit helps. Thinking of always.
You all constantly amaze me with your strength, faith and love for one another. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you adjust to another new change. May God continue to watch over you, protect you and show you his everlasting love. Prayers to all of you!
