Update from Liam's Daddy

Romans 5:12-21. I have been asked and even at times wondered "why did God do this to me". Well after the times of frustration I realize this is not how or what God wanted. This is a result of living in a fallen world. God allows things to happen and to be honest there is no reason I could think that I would let this happen. Good thing I'm not incharge because this deal is and will change peoples l...ives for the better. Jesus loves you and wants to help you live for more than you, don't walk away any longer. Trust me I been there I ran from him too. But I'm done I am going to seek my potential with Gods help. Liam had an up and down day. He has been real crabby probably from coming down off the drugs. He had a hearing test and it was inconclusive, could be he just needs to rest more. We are pretty sure he can hear a least a little. Pray for his hearing and sight and that he is completely healed. Keep praying!

Praise God- Liam is out of ICU!!!

Last Night Update:

Night Post: we made it to the 'peds wing'. Talked with Liam's new doctor and it sounds like they are just still trying to figure out Liam's sodium meds (still praying he can control them on his own!) and once the meds are figured out and stable for at least 3 or 4 days then we can move out of the hospital and into the physical therapy inpatient hospital place. There they will continue to work o...n weaning him off the sedations, work on getting the feeding tube out, and of course physical therapy and stuff like that. Today, during his speech therapy, he would 'drink' apple juice off a little sponge and open his mouth for more. But when they tried a little water on a spoon he coughed and therefore is not ready to have water yet. He could control swallowing the little apple juice from the sponge thingy but not the water. Hearing test will be given either tomorrow or Wednesday. Prayer Targets: Wisdom for the docts/nurses, sodium meds (healing would be great here:), swallow test, his mind ears and eyes. Thank you Jesus for all you are doing for our little Liam. We are waiting and trusting in your perfect timing!

The Lord continues to Heal & Liam Speaks!!!!

Most Recent from Liam's Daddy:

Hot off the presses. I just heard Liam say mom twice! This was witnessed by a nurse! Suck it Satan, God is winning. Be gone with you! I prayed last night specifically for him to speak! I don't know why I asked for that but it got answered! John15:7! So much for being dead, never getting off the vent, never moving, never hearing, we have seen enough to not even call this faith, it is common sense! Thank you Lord for you power you amaze me!

Last Night Update:
more form casey...Matthew 6:34. During this deal I have worried about things that might happen months and years from now with Liam. But the lord tells us to worry about TODAY! We can easily get overwhelmed with worry. Don't waste your time ...because you can't do anything about the future or even the past. Live for now seek opportunities to do the right thing today, tomorrow do the same thing! Praise the lord for today! Liam had a great day. Seems to have some level of hearing! He even stood up and walked with the help of some therapists! Keep praying, this lil dude is gunna change the world!

From Liam's Mommy:

John 11:5-13 These verses are promises I am living by:) We are asking "boldly" for our Lord Jesus Christ to completely heal our little boy. I have peace that God is already 'on it' :) "...Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Jesus, we give you all the glory...we will "worship while we are waiting. We will serve you while we are waiting".

Keep Praying & Believing!

From Liam's mommy: Encouraging morning update: Liam is getting stronger everyday with physical therapy...they are trying to make him stand more and today (with mostly the therapists doing the work) started to make him walk...they are getting his sodium levels under control ( we are praying he can control it on his own!!) they are also figuring out his sedation levels and what works best for his li...ttle body to wean off. He seems to be responding to sound a lot more today..keep praying!! his eye (the other eye doesnt open well) seems to be trying to track noises today....keep praying for his sight!! Keep praying friends ...God's doing big things (and I truly believe He's just getting started!) Thank you Jesus:)

oh and...the doc said that we will probably leave the ICU and go downstairs to the regular Peds floor Monday or Tuesday

Last night updates on Liam

Psalms 23. This one is short I promise. Even in the darkest times God is there and he will comfort us. God never leaves us, we leave him. Thank God Liam was able to rest today! They kind of have the sodium thing figured out, so that is good! Liam is blind and we aren't sure about his hearing. Pray that the Lord heals both of those things! I know he can! Keep praying

Luke 18:1-7. Sometimes I sit here and pray for my son to be healed. It hasn't happened as fast as I want, but I keep praying. Does this mean God is not listening? I don't think so, everyday there is big or small answer to prayer. The key I believe to is to pray and believe in the mercy and healing power of God, without stopping! From these verses it seems that the woman had faith everyday that her request would be granted. If she didn't why did she go back? Please friends don't get weary or tired of praying for Liam. God can do this and I believe he will. Waiting sometimes is hard on us humans! Keep praying keep the faith

Feeling so blessed and overwhelmed again by the generosity and support from our friends and community. Thank you all, everyone, who helped out and/or attended the benefit last night for our sweet little Liam. We feel so very loved and words just can't express really how much that meant to us! Please continue to pray for Liam and believe with us for a complete healing. Thank you Jesus for holding us during this time and using others to show your love for us!

Updates on Liam

doct update: well...we are going to be in the ICU awhile longer but mostly trying to figure out his 'sodium' meds...I am thankful for that actually...still working on the withdrawls so we have a crabby little boy (poor guy)...Please keep praying for complete healing for his mind eyes and ears!

Nightly Update

Night update: Liam is still a little restless but easier to calm down and comfort. Still trying to figure out the weaning off drugs part. This part stinks to watch and I hate that he has to go through this but it's a part of the 'getting better' process. Liam did really good with his speach therapy (he's not talking at this point but they first work on mouth stuff like swallowing and relearnin...g how to eat). He has been making very positive progress towards being ready to try eating and getting rid of the food tube (this is a long process but we are at least moving forward in small steps:) Today he also turned on his side pushed up on his knees and turned onto his stomach on his own (he liked sleeping on his stomach better apparently:) this was a very good step for him-he's getting stronger each day...although he's such a wiggle worm now and is getting stronger we might have to move him to a crib so he doesn't wiggle right out of his bed. Please continue and believe with us for a complete healing for this sweet little boy. (We will worship while we wait!:)

Liam is having a hard time with the withdrawals from morphine. He was restless and agitated today. He seemed calmer as the day passed! Other than that no real big news today. Frank and Corinna are staying at the hospital tonight so I can sleep in a real bed. 22 days straight! I want everyone to know this. Please don't feel sorry for us. Stay strong in your faith that God is working on my son. If you don't have faith call me. I will try my best to explain what I have seen so that you to will have the faith I do. Keep praying. Keep the faith. Never ever give up. God is good..... Even in the valley of the shadow of death.
