The Red Thread

Once our eyes have been opened we can't pretend that
we don't know what to do; for God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls
knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12

Prayers heard and answered

Owen had a much better day today.  He got his art line taken out and stayed off the oxygen.  He even got up in a wagon and went for a ride around the PICU.  He wasn't too thrilled about that.  He is still pretty sore when you have to move him.   The kids came up to see him and his spirits really picked up.  He is asking for "bite"  he  wants to eat.  They have restarted the tube feedings.  So far so good. 
Owen loved watching Grandma's IPhone.  Ansley put Bear in the Big Blue House on for him and he just loved it.  He also enjoyed watching Big Will make Iris walk on the ceiling.  Thank you Grandma's and Will and Jess for coming to visit him.  It really made his day.  His heart rate and respiratory rate have been very high the whole time he had been here.  Once his family came in the heart rate and respiratory rate dropped down to a normal rate and he didn't set off any alarms until the nurses came in to check on him. 
Thank you everyone for praying for our sweet boy.  Please continue to pray for him.

    So glad that Owen is doing a little better today. We continue to pray for Owen and your whole family as his healing is hard on everyone. This morning starts the first of our 6+ procedures/surgeries this fall so we will be thinking of you often as we sit in waiting rooms and hold our little ones in their hospital rooms. We love you guys!

    So happy to hear Owen is doing better! I bet he was excited to see Ansley, Iris & Elliot.....and they were just as excited to see him. It's amazing how powerful love is. God's love for us is even more amazing. I know you and Joel are stressed and I'm praying for comfort and rest in Him. Thinking of you all day and singing 'He Will Carry You.'
    There is no problem too big God cannot solve it
    There is no mountain too tall He cannot move it
    And there is no storm too dark God cannot calm it
    There is no sorrow too deep He cannot soothe it
    And if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
    I know my brother that He will carry you
    I know my sister that He will carry you
    He said, "Come to Me all you who are weary, and I will give you rest"
