Day 490 - October 18 - Sunday Morning

Connor has made it through the week again, and so have we. He remains healthy, and has begun practicing his vent weaning again after that long period battling low O2 saturation. It looks like his saturation levels are mostly back to where they were a few months ago, so we've started practicing his breathing off the vent again. I would ask you for a couple of things in that area - that you would be praying for him that this weaning process would be successful, and that he would be quickly defeat the need for the ventilator at all, and that he would stay motivated to try to do so. It's hard work for him, and it's hard for him to stay motivated in the face of such slow progress. Please continue to lift him up in this.

As for the rest of us, one bit of news I don't think I mentioned is that Joélle has been selected as an intern at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago! For those who may not be familiar with RIC, it is arguably one of the finest rehab hospitals in the world, and she is thrilled to have been selected to work there. She'll be working with patients, helping them deal with their situations emotionally and spiritually - something she is well-suited for and has experience dealing with; they're fortunate to have her. We're exceedingly proud of her!

Pray for us this morning as we try to get out to church as well - we've had difficulty getting out the door for several weeks now, so your support is greatly appreciated.

God bless you as you start your new week.

E.
