Day 460 - September 18 - A Particular Set of Skills

We are wondering if any of you faithful folk have been given a particular set of skills; and no, I'm not talking about Liam Neeson's skillset in "Taken"! There are a couple of small items we have been searching for that would make Connor's situation a bit easier, and yet we can't seem to find them anywhere - they apparently don't exist except in our minds. We can envision them, but it appears we cannot buy them, and we have no skill at actually making them. I won't go into descriptions here, because my skill at the written word doesn't extend far enough to give you a good idea of what I'm talking about. But the reason I'm bringing it up is in the hope that someone out there has some mechanical engineering skills or something like that, who could help us get our ideas onto paper, and also that someone out there has good machinist's skills who could turn our ideas into a metal reality.

OK, that was a really long way of saying "Hey, we need an engineer and a machinist! Come help!"

You'd need to be around MoHIll somewhere where we could get together with you and show you what we need. But if you are, or know, someone who can make cool stuff out of metal, please drop us a note. We'd be very appreciative.

As for Connor, he's about the same. No visible progress to speak of; this is a frustrating time. He does seem to be staying saturated better than a few days ago, so hopefully he's clear of whatever caused it in the first place. On the other hand, we've heard of at least two cases of swine flu in town this week (one of which is actually a friend of Connor's), so we're being careful with his contact to the world. Swine flu doesn't particularly concern us anymore than any other spreadable disease does, but your prayers for his, and our, health are still greatly appreciated.

We love y'all. Thanks for staying faithful.

E.

Hi Texx, Cherie and Connor;

I should be able to help you out with your ME related needs. Its what I used to do. I have not done CAD in a awhile so I may enlist the help of one of my ME buddies to make detailed drawings. I can also reach out to them to help us find a fabricator. I will give you a call.

Wade

The Lord has said "Ask and you shall receive"...we don't always receive in quite the way we expectd but, in this case--praise God that you have friends like Wade. I am sure there are others out there that can also help.

I cannot even draw a stick figure, but I will pray that God sends someone to help you.

I always wished that someone would invent a "wheelchair/stroller." When Brendan was a baby, we would have to take an extra person to push me and then him. Most of the time he sat on my lap, but then he started getting heavy. I am sure there are many moms and dads in that situation.

I hope someone will be able to help you with your ideas.

Hi Williamsons,

Continuing to check in on you often and pray for your needs. Thankful that someone has already come forward with the skills you need. Just here and praying....
Sandi
