Day 271 - March 12 - Feeling (sort of)
So tonight we were getting the boy ready for bed and he told us he was feeling "weird" again. As you might remember, sometimes when he feels that way he finds a tiny new bit of movement, so we hopped into our usual routine - testing the limits of his motion as much as we can. Tonight, we let him practice pulling himself back from a forward-leaning position, which he can do with a great deal of effort. So he did that, and as he wore himself out I took his hand as if to shake it, and worked on getting him to squeeze it. He wasn't able to do that much tonight, but as I turned his hand back and forth he got "that look" on his face. With Connor directing me, I started tapping on his left hand; and as he concentrated he decided that he could sort of feel a buzzing thumping as I tapped his hand!
It wasn't a crisp, detailed feeling - more of a dull buzz. But it's the first feeling he's sensed below his neck since his accident!
So, another tiny step in this journey - from now on I won't be able to say "he feels nothing below his neck"! Pretty cool, eh? God is faithful and good.
Please join me in thanking Him for this tiny improvement, and continue to lift Connor up for his healing. Thanks for staying with us.

That is great news! Praising God for these small steps and new sensations that He's bringing to Connor! Still reading, always praying, just not always posting. :)
Romans 1:12...that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
Have a great weekend - praying that church will be possible for you all tomorrow!

God is our source of strength and viatlity--praise His name! Thank you, oh God, for your favor upon Connor at this time, for every small step is because of Your mercy and love.
Have you thought about marking Connor's sensations on a body chart? You could use colors and date each event. It might be a neat visual of the gifts God is giving you!
We are rejoicing with you!!!
Though you don't know us, we were all excited to see you at church today. Each of my kids independently ran up to tell me that "Connor and his family are here!!". With a friend in similar circumstances, they truly have some understanding of the effort that means for you all.
You are encouraging the faith of even the littlest ones!
Oops! That would be "vitality" in my post--sorry for the typo!
