As I sat here and thought what to write the word floating came to mind. We are just floating; in God's arms, from one doctor's thoughts and trials to another doctor's thoughts and trials, floating from one emotion to another and for Luke, floating in fluid. That is the main change in Luke. He is VERY swollen which the doctors say is from the paralytic drugs. They are trying to change his vent settings so he can get off the Norcurion but we will have to see if he can take it. He remains on the oscillator vent and in critical condition as the doctors say. He looks pretty pitiful. Even though he looks so bad it still feels good to talk to him and hold his hand.
Matthew 6:33-34 " But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow fot tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
We continue to seek God first as our Saviour, our friend, our comforter and our answer to each day with Luke. We do not need to worry about tomorrow. God holds it in his hands. He is all we need to carry us through each day. So we float with God as our life preserver.

my heart sinks to know you have to type words you didn't even want to hear the doctors say...but thank you for continuing to allow us to be in on all that you are experiencing. as we busy ourselves we are in constant prayer for you, for Luke...for Hogan and Sydney.
Just checking in with Baby Luke and sending our love, hope, faith and prayers your way. A thought came to mind in that music is one of the powers of healing. The message Susan sent about singing to Luke was so sweet. I just thought if they would let you put soft Christian lullabies by his crib, it would be sweet sounds of God's Love and all of our love to Baby Luke. Keep your strength and faith as you have. Stay strong and let us know if we can send some lullabies...
I know that I don't even know ya'll, but you are in my thoughts and prayers all through the day. I am desperately praying for a miracle for your baby. I pray that God gives you abundant grace and strength to endure.
Papa Ed blogging for Mary Lee. I just came back from my men's ministry at First Baptist Naples tonight and reguested prayers from my table group for the third week. They keep praying and hoping I can give them an improvement report. Even though Luke can't wave his arms, talk, or speak with his eyes yet, he is talking to the world his way, and reaching people we could never reach. I know both of Luke's grandmas are there for him. It has been so rewarding to see friends offer their cooking, caring, and prayers during this trial. I know they will continue for as long as is necessary. We continue to wait and see how the Lord's plan will be revealed to us. Patience is so hard to endure.
