Day 280 - March 21 - Coming to an end
Well, tomorrow Joélle goes back to Chicago - we get up at 0500 to get her on her plane. We've had such a wonderful time, the four of us together, and it's exceedingly difficult to see that come to an end again.
Connor's condition is unchanged. He is excited to see his body remaining strong, despite the months of immobility, and is encouraged and believing God is sustaining his muscles in order for them to be ready for the day he walks again. In fact, we've noticed that he always speaks of "when I get better", and doesn't seem to have the down days that I am prone to. He always speaks life into his condition, which is a gift from God. He's such a blessing to me that way - he's confident in the Lord's intervention in his life and refuses to speak despair into himself. That's a lesson I need to learn...
Connor remains in good spirits and even got out this week to see and enjoy a local production of Les Miserables. He continues to practice his breathing and seems to be covered with a hedge of protection, health-wise. Your prayers are being answered in that regard, as he seems to get healthier all the time. While he at least is still healthy, Cherié has contracted some sort of sinus infection or something, and is struggling to stay healthy in the face of all she does each day. I would appreciate your prayers for her as I hope to get her to stay down tomorrow for some recuperation time. She needs her strength, we rely so much on her around here.
Good night.

Our prayers go out to Cherié and that she will feel better--one or two days of rest would probably do her well but know how hard that is! We praise God that Joélle could spend time with you all over her Easter break...I know the end has come all too soon for you; we will pray for her semester at school that lies ahead.
It's heartening that Connor can be a blessing to you and for his confidence in God's power.
Have a great week!
I am happy you had fun with Joelle when she was here. Before you know it, she'll be back. Of course, that does not make NOW less sad that she is not "home." I went to school in Indiana, so I do know what it is like to have to fly to O'hare from California leaving family. I do not miss those days. :)
I hope Cherie' was able to get the rest she needed yesterday. We are still praying for you all!
You haven't posted since Saturday, but I have had you all on my mind and in my prayers and just want to let you know that.
With love in Christ,
Claudia Rizzi in Norco
