"This place is trying to break my belief, my faith is bigger than all I can see. What I need is redemption, what I need is for you to put me back on my feet..." lyrics from a song my hubby reccomended me to listen tonight as he heads back to Sioux Falls
Before I give the Liam updates here is a verse for tonight:
Mark 11:22-24 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Doubt has been trying so hard to creep in the more I am here and the more I see Liam struggle. What I take from this verse, if we truly believe the Word is the inspired words of God, then we need to truly believe that God is not done with Liam and not only is God capable of healing Liam's eyes and ears but He IS going to heal them. ...the WORD says, "Whatever you ASK for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." I'm choosing to believe that, and asking the Holy Spirit to help me where I am weak. Thank you Jesus for your word.
Updates:
*Swallow test went well praise God.
That is about all I really have to update you on. Liam sleeps a lot. The docs are starting to track how much he's been sleeping to make sure that they don't need to change something to help. As of now, they believe it is a combination of healing time, tired from therapy, medicines wearing off, and cordisone levels that they are working on getting back to normal (those are out of wack from all the steriods they had him on for his throat awhile back).
-Prayer Targets-
*For his Eyes to see and his ears to hear (please Jesus hear our cry!!!!!!!!) .
*For Liam to not cry and be upset or scared anymore during his therapies
*For Liam to be more awake except for the times he needs to sleep to heal.
*For Liam to be more consistant in eating food and for him to consistantly enjoy eating so we can get him eating enough to get that tube out!!
*Wisdom for his doctors, therapists, and nurses.
*To keep my husband safe as he travels back home and for protection for him at his job. Also, for safety of all family that comes out to help/visit.
Again: I can't begin to thank all of you who repost my updates and all of you who pray daily for our family. May God bless you all! Thank you Jesus for another day.

Night post: Liam was a little more awake today...speech therapy hasn't really been going well ...he fights eating (which is frusterating to watch since he was doing awesome and loved it) he needs to keep trying to eat or that tube isnt going to come out. Physical therapy is going pretty decent; Liam is able to sit on his own with a little support for balance (he could do it on his own but he gets too mad/upset) he went from a supported kneeling to initiating moving his leg up to stand up (with support of course) standing practice turned into him initiating more steps...I just pray that he could enjoy his therapies...he improves daily in PT but cries almost the whole time. got a lot of mommy and Liam play time and cuddle time so that was nice:) He was also happy to see Grandma and Papa today...playing and making happy noises trying to talk. **prayer targets** complete restoration, eyes to see, ears to hear, comfort during therapy, for him to eat lots, and prayer for us to stay focused completely on Jesus and his Word! Thank you Jesus for our boy and for saving him...we will worship while we wait!
From Liam's Daddy:
Gen 22. Now this is morbid story and I don't completely understand why God did this. However it shows us that if we completely turn a situation over to God he will not fail us!
I had to come back to rapid city after 3 days in soo foo with my family. It is really hard leaving your family in a time like this. But that is life I guess. This whole deal gets hard sometimes when you look what we had January 1st. But it is amazing when you look at January 10th. It is awful and amazing at the same time. Some times you focus on your son being deaf blind unable to stand without assistance and I get discouraged. But then I think he easily could be dead with no shot at healing. Let's focus on the healing. This story is not over. Keep praying!
Have you ever felt guilty when you laughed, ate, slept, smiled or enjoyed anything. Well, that's my life. God I need some help I need some progress with Liam God. I need a whole bunch of good news. I feel so horrible being here and my family being across the state.
