We pray with Isaac at meals, and at night. We start the prayer out with what we are thankful for. So he now calls prayers "Than You Fors". Even though I am at the hospital, Shawn often calls me so I can pray with them at bedtime. Tonight Isaac had a long list of "thank you fors". What a sweet and innocent reminder of how blessed we are.
It has been a stressful afternoon. Thankfully, no more seizures today. I got back to the hospital around 2 pm. Things went down hill pretty quick. Our victory of him finally eating some is now far away. He can not swallow hardly at all, even his own saliva. The white sores are all over his mouth. he was in so much pain, I wanted to go crazy. I was holding him in my arms, and although I couldn't take the cries anymore, I couldn't leave him. He is now on a continual drip of the pain medicine. I hope this will help. Just make him not hurt.
I am so tense my muscles hurt. I still hold on to this scripture:
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
1 Peter 1:6
I am trying to rejoice. Our wonderful father, our healer, who hears our prayers. He has answered so many. Hear my prayer tonight and bring healing to my son.
