Celebrating Love

Night post: Glad to have my hubby back:) missed him... Liam had a pretty decent day today...he got his new braces and shoes for his feet...they will give him the extra stability he needs for now to help him stand...we left them on him for a couple hours to help him get used to the feel of them and they didnt seem to bug him *speech therapy went good...he now gets a small smile on his face when we buckle him to his chair and the speech therapist gives him a spoon to hold (her sign to him it's time to eat). he eats like a champ anything fruity but we are trying to get him to try a variety of pureed food...so far he just likes fruit and sweet potatoes. we tried apple juice thickened a little with nectar and he could swallow it (from a spoon) well ...so far looks good for the swallow test on thursday! keep praying!! * OT today wanted to work on Liam feeding himself today...he fought it (battle of the wills:) but was able to feed himself applesauce a few times if she put the apple sauce on the spoon. wow! big steps for our boy! be praying this goes better each day as well. *it was fun to see Casey get to see all Liam's growth:) Casey and I are continuing to choose to keep our eyes on Jesus and focus on the day at hand and be thankful for every blessing and healing and positive steps...we pray continously for a full recovery for our sweet boy...I feel God is still telling us to 'wait'...and we are:) we are waiting with expectation of great things to come....this story isn't over! God's not done here:) Thank you Jesus for this great Valentines day with my boys. Thankful for a husband who's hope is in the Lord and who supports and encourages me...I love him like crazy:) Prayer targets: swallow test,eat variety of food, use of new braces for feet, continued peace and comfort and joy for Liam, and of course complete healing for his brain eyes and ears. thank u friends for praying without ceasing! we love u! (and thank you Jesus!)


Lam 3. Even when we are destroyed, defeated, sick, depressed, sad or hated it isn't over! God loves and cares for us! Whatever happens no one can take Gods love away! Keep your chin up God has not left you in your time of need! Seriously the dude won't turn his back on you ever, whatever you are going through.
Today I got to be with my family in Sioux Falls! I was able to see how far Liam has come in just a few days! I watched him actually use a spoon to feed himself! He needed some help to get pointed in the right direction but that's it! He likes when his daddy holds him almost as much as his daddy likes it! All the therapists tell me each day he has improved! Thank you god!
I tried to have a twilight movie night for sandy for valentines day. But our computer is pretty much dead now! Dangit I tried!
Keep praying for Liam this story isn't over! You guys are great remember Gods mercy is for everyone..........
