Ryan had a nice weekend filled with visits from friends and family. He really enjoys when his friends come to visit him. Ryan is soooo ready to go home, and it will be soon - but please pray that he continues to have perseverance to work hard during therapy to better himself the most he can.
Ryan's stomach is healing very well from the removal of his feeding tube, praise the Lord for this quick process!
He had a field trip today with other patients to the bowling alley! It was a bit difficult, but I am sure that he enjoyed getting out of the hospital!
He will be meeting with a doctor tomorrow regarding his tremors, or the shaking of his left arm. Surgery that can be done to fix this problem is EXTREMELY extensive and invasive, we are praying that this specialist will be able to give suggestions on medications and exercises that could lessen the tremors. We are going through this process because if Ryan's shaking were minimized he would be able to complete tasks easier such as eating, brushing his teeth, and communicating on his alphabet board.
Oh, and during church yesterday morning Ryan sang more than I have ever heard! It brought tears to our eyes, also during pray he bowed his head. Thank you Lord for allowing Ryan to come so far. The battle of recovery is all yours Lord. We give it to you because it was always yours from the beginning. It came from you, through you, and back to you again. Our life, our struggles, and our accomplishments are all because of our God. I am not fearful that God's work will be completed fully.
A prayer of patience and endurance is what we ask of all the amazing and faithful followers. 24 weeks is a very long time and I know it is easy to grow weary. Please pray for both Mom and Ryan as we approach the stage of confusion and fatigue. They are both so very strong and a homecoming is approaching quickly, but every single day is important while we are receiving the best therapy possible. Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
Don't' worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving; let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 4:4-7
A very special mother's day this year to our terrific mother. She has always shown her undying love for all of her children, but this past 5 months she has been the strongest and most amazing mother anyone could ever ask for. She has slept on a hard pull-out chair in a cold hospital room for 169 days. Her faith and love is truly an inspiration. I can honestly say that I am blessed to have a mother that would do anything for her children. She is selfless; always placing her children above everyone else. I know that God does not give us more than we can handle, and she has handled the hardest situation of her life like an amazing woman of God. Thank you Mom for being the perfect role model and an inspiration to all of us.
