Day 292 - April 2 - Granny's here!
I was supposed to post this yesterday, but I figured if I did y'all would think I was playing an April Fool's joke on you, so I waited until this morning...
OK, I actually was just too tired to type last night. That's the real reason! But at least I'm being honest with you... 8-)
First, thank you for your prayers over the last few days about rest - they have been effective, as the last two nights have been quiet ones which allowed Cherie and I to get some much-needed sleep. So I just wanted y'all to know how much we appreciate your prayer support for us all.
Second, yesterday morning Alaska flight 320 touched down in San Jose, bringing Cherie's mom down for a couple of weeks to visit. I was really glad that she said she'd had a good flight down - I actually worked the airplane from a point abeam Mt. Shasta down to Pt. Reyes on their flight into the Bay Area, so it was good to hear that she didn't have any complaints about the air traffic portion of her flight! I wish I'd known she was on that particular plane, though - if I'd known, I probably could have persuaded the pilots to embarrass her over the intercom or something. Ah, well, perhaps it's for the best... 8-)
The heartening thing for us was that we got to see Connor through the eyes of someone who hasn't seen him since he was back in Fresno, and she was astonished and pleased at his improvement from those days. It's hard for Cherie and I to see the incremental changes each day, but when someone sees him for the first time in nine months, he's improved so much since then.
I'm going to keep this short, as I'm on a break at work and should probably go back to earning my taxpayer-funded salary! But I just wanted to give a quick update with the latest information. Thank you so much for so faithfully following along with us, and for your faithful prayers and belief. You bless us.

Eric,
I'm so thankful that Cherie's mom can be there with you all for a couple weeks. I'm sure she is a real comfort and support for you all. And maybe you and Cherie can even get away for a bit. =0)
I thought I would try again posting, as I was so embarrassed with my post the other day that I did not reread, or edit, and when I looked back at it again, couldn't believe some of my misspellings. I know I was very tired, but still! Sorry about that.
So excited to hear of all the improvements with Connor!! And the good sleep you all have had the last couple nights. We need our sleep, that's for sure!! Especially, to deal with life when it's tough! And draining!
Well, I reread this twice. So I sure hope I haven't missed anything. =0)
You can count on me and my family to be praying for you all nonstop!!!
Have a GREAT day!
In Him!

Oh that is great, it must be nice to have a grandma in the house! I hope you enjoy your time with her, may you be blessed by her visit! I prayed for you and I am glad that your rest has been better over the last few nights! I will continue to pray for everyone's rest and that you don't get stressed with the trials you face in your day, God is bigger than that and He will give you the grace you need in that exact moment, what hope in that thought! I pray that you grow in grace and in your walk with Yahweh, there is much power in that name, please remember that He is faithful and will give you the power you need to endure anything, All for His glory, your friend,

So glad that she had a safe trip. How encouraging it must be to hear her excitement over the progress that Connor has made. Praise God also for some good nights of rest.
Keeping you all in prayer as you enjoy Granny's visit - there is nothing like the help of a mom! So happy Cherie will have her to lean on for a few weeks. Praying too for Connor's health and healing as alway.
God Bless-
Sandi
