Day 224 - January 24 - 2-tone
Today was spent quietly at home for the most part - Connor and I spent a number of hours (at least it felt like it) fiddling with all the adjustments on his new chair, and trying to figure out how all the features work. It's a pretty impressive piece of technology, although we'd all trade it in a heartbeat if we could do without it.
The highlight of the day was the visit we had from one of Connor's nurses back in Fresno. This lady and Connor had struck up a special friendship while he was in the ICU back at CRMC - she was his favorite nurse and friend, so it was a real treat to have her and her daughter come all this way up here to say "hi" to the boy.
As you can sort of see from her picture, her hair is what inspired our nickname for her while we were there, and she accepted the moniker with all the dignity she could muster! We visited with them for a couple of hours, and had a great time doing it.
Tomorrow we're going to try to get Connor moved into his new room, so hopefully by this time tomorrow he'll be safely enjoying his new digs. I really must remember to go take some photos so I can send them to Brad so he can put them up in the photo album so you can check it all out. I guess I need to tie a string around my finger...

Connor, you are looking wonderful! May the Lord continue to bless you with His Healing Grace. It is great to see your beautiful smile.
BTW, what is Connor's nurse's nickname? You didn't mention it in this post Erik and if it was posted in the past, I don't remember it. ;-)

Oh, is it "2-Tone?" Now I get the title of your post. Very Cute.
Nancy C.
Yep, that's it! I guess I could gave been less obscure. Sorry!
Blessings Williamson Family, well, you said in your last post it had been 3 days, yikes, it's been days, weeks maybe even months sense I've posted a comment but I've been making sure I read the posts that come in an e-mail daily (usually)haha Anyhow I wanted you to know we still love you all we are still praying for you here in Downey and across the country where the e-mails get sent. Everyone is still hopeful and their faith remains strong that God is in control and that He has a perfect plan and purpose in all this. The prayer we pray a lot in prayer meeting is that Connor will take up his mat and walk, to God be the glory, Amen
You said in one of your blogs that this thing sucks, well, that's my daughters favorite word for what has happened in her life although I really try to keep her from saying it because it's not so much my favorite word but it really does describe the situation. Connor you are such a blessing with that smile I really feel that one day you will get one of those feelings you mentioned and you will be one of God's miracles, sorry, actually you already are a miracle. Our prayers are with you all, The Joy of the Lord is your strength!

Glad that you are getting the w/c fixed up and also moving into the room--lotta work and praise God for those who made it possible! Have a great week--Cheryl p.s. cute photo as well!
Eric, Cherie, Connor & Joelle,
Hi from Tucson. We've been faithfully reading your moving blogs and praying for Connors full restoration. I can so feel your heart Eric as you relay what is going on with Connor. Thank you for your postings and your transparancy.
That is such a great picture!
We are still praying for Connor to be completely healed so that he does not have to use that wheelchair anymore, no matter how cool it is. :)
Very good news - we have been continuing to follow the blogs and it's great news about the chair and the movement. We will continue to pray and praise for God's moving in all your lives.
Also we praise for the people who have been through your lives during this time, it is very cool being able to keep up to date with the blog. Looking through your posts gives a clear picture as to how a Christian walks with God through very hard times, sometimes the walk is rough and we really can't understand, at other times it seems as though it's coming into focus just a little bit. Thank you for your honesty in this, it is a help to many of us in our own walk, as well as allowing us to try to be of encouragement to you.
Thanks for your perseverance and encouragement in the faithfulness of God. I continue to pray for Connor's restoration. I have benefited from EM Bounds' The Necessity of Prayer as you may also.

It's been a while since I've posted; but I listen/read OFTEN! It is so good to be hearing of the miracles God is performing! Love you all so much!
Hey Williamsons's,
It has been awhile since I have posted as well, however, never....never cease to pray for total healing and ask the Lord to uplift you all.
I just wanted to insert a note from a friend in NY who cannot open Connorwatch at work... for some reason there is a block and she doesn't have a home computer, however, I forward the emails I receive from your site so she can keep posted.
Here is what Sarah has to say:
Carolyn,
thank you so much for sharing with me.
Connor and his family are such an inspiration!
it is hard to imagine having any problems when you read about what they are going through
but what a wonderful example of living the faith, always a positive turn on life.
they have truly given it all to God, and that can be the hardest thing in the world to actually do
please keep me in the loop.
Peace, Sarah
I too agree with Sarah, you are a wonderful exampe of living faith and you truly have given it all to God!
Blessings,
Carolyn Brogan, Henderson, NV
P.S. I tried to use my blogger infor and can't remember my password so I had to go anonymous.
Hi, Williamsons!
So great that you had a visit from "2-Tone"----gotta love those nurses!!! :) I know she's been an encouragement in so many ways and may Christ continue to bless her and her good work.
We love you all and as always, miss you. Connor, that picture WAS great and you look good!
Love,
Kristie for the Robinsons in Fresno
