Continuing to do Better

Well another good day. I got to hold him today with a little hesitation, but was thrilled. He is doing better each day with his breathing. He continues to be on his own (without the ventilator) doing well on his back, sides and belly. The occupational therapist came by today and will be working on moving his arms to strengthen his muscles and movement. She also wants to work on his eye movement and following. Then she will move to weight bearing excercises for strength. This will be a slow process as well. She said then when we are read we will begin to work on sucking and swallowing such a little thing that we take for granted. Boy this experience has been such a big dose of humble pie. If I could say one thing to everyone that looks at this blog just remember life only throughs us trials to learn how to strengthen our realationship with God not get bitter at someone. There are so many things are complained about that are petty, families that are taken for granted, friends that are forgotten over little disagreements and I think is that what God would want from his children? You know in the grand scheme of life does it really matter when you take up offering during in church or if what kind of music we sing? No, the question is Did everything that I did today give glory and praise to my heavenly father? This experience has definitely taught me that life is precious and God has only allowed us a certain amount of time to be here and we should cherish every minute of it and live every second of it for him. Ryan and I know that God has taught us many lessons already during this journey and continues to show us things on a daily basis. we are here to use this in any way that would give God glory. You know when you see your child's life hang in the balance before your eyes you begin to see life a lot differently and maybe a little more like God would like us too. I look at Matthew, Andrew and Elijah and see God's power, love and thank him for his gift to us for however long he chooses. Please continue to pray for us as a family and that we can be home by th end of September.
Now I will get off my soap box. Love ya'll. It is 60 degrees here and very fall like. I know it is hot there.... I am sorry! Also, would you pray for a special family we have met here. There names are Amanda and Harold Bean (son named Eli with e/a like our Elijah) his surgery his tomm. for reconnection of his esophagus.
