Day 488 - October 16 - 16 Months
Sixteen months ago today, Connor ran down that beach.
Twelve months ago today, Connor came home from the hospital to stay.
Twelve months ago he couldn't hold his head up. He couldn't sit up for more than an hour or so. He had to sleep in the dining room - there was no where else he could get to in the house.
Twelve months later he's much stronger. He's up 10-12 hours a day. He has control of his head and neck muscles. On Monday the doctor was doing her tests, and I watched him respond to pinpricks at roughly his shoulder level - when we first went to her he didn't feel anything below his chin.
12 months ago, if you saw Connor at all, it was in the company of Cherié and I. Today, you might run into him with his friends around town.
So we thank God for bringing him this far. We thank Him for the people who have gathered around us to help - whether it's building, or cooking, or errands, or whatever - we haven't forgotten you, and we are so thankful to God for you.
Thanks for journeying with us, thanks for praying with us, thanks for believing with us. God moves.
E.

Dear Williamson Family,
Just a note to let you know that even though I have not posted on the blog before, I continue to hold up Connor often in my prayers. Your testimony has been an encouragement to me many times in the past year.
