The End of Another Day

It is Jason again, at the end of another day. Liam had a great day today. His stomach settled down which allowed him to begin to eat today. The bit of swelling that he had in his face has begun to subside (he even let Kim take a picture for the blog ) and he is feeling pretty good. He has been up a lot today making trips to the washroom, taking short walks down the hall, sitting up and watching movies in his wheelchair. He was really excited to see his brother and sisters today and we all met in the family lounge to watch a movie and then went to the game-room for Pacman and Foosball! Liam began playing his game of Foosball from his wheelchair, but some of his competitive nature came out as not long after the start of the game he was standing to play! All in all it was a great day.

As his second surgery approaches next Wednesday, we have begun to organize prayer for the surgery day and the days to follow. It has been such a blessing to Liam to have the list of the people who are praying for him at different hours around the clock. In the sad moments or the distressing times he often asks about who is praying for him at that moment. Kim says that he often wakes her throughout the night to ask who is praying, which seems to bring him great comfort. With this in mind we would like to make sure that we have this for him for the next surgery as well. We have some holes to fill on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and would like to extend our list through to Monday which will cover him through the roughest days. Because we will be at the hospital between now and then, without consistent Internet access, my dad has agreed to collect all the times and bring us a list for Wednesday. His e-mail is gmcgibbon1@cogeco.ca

Thanks to all who have been praying, leaving comments and sending e-mails to support, encourage and uplift us. We have not been able to answer all of them, but we are downloading them when we get a moment with a wireless connection and reading them throughout the day.
