Sat. 5/3 - update

Today has been pretty good. He has definitely still had some pain/vomiting, but overall...we would classify this day as positive. Todd left out very early this morning. He will fly back Mon. We had a surprise visit from some more special visitors today. There was a knock at the door and....18 Harley Motorcyclists came in! It was so cool. Caed was a little shocked. They are apart of the Christian Motorcyclist Association. They gave him 2 teddy bears, balloons, and some coloring stuff. Caed of course wanted to SEE their motorcycles. So, we loaded him up in the wagon and went outside. They had them all lined up out front. Caed especially liked the red and blue ones. They gathered around us and prayed. It was awesome! To hear the prayers coming from these "big, tough guys" (and a few girls). What Caed wanted to see most was them get on their bikes and ride. Finally, the time came and boy was it loud! He covered his ears and grinned so BIG! (thank you Kim for setting this up!) After his nap, we got another 4 hr. pass and went out to Idalou. He did pretty well, but got sick several times. Just getting away from the hospital is so good for him (regardless if he doesn't always feel like playing). The drs. are talking about some longer passes...24 hrs...48 hrs...etc. A representative from Home Health called me this morning and was starting the process. Haven't talked to the dr. today, but she is thinking about either tomorrow or Mon. (24 hr.) Caed is excited. Sorry the blog is so short tonight. I don't have as much free time when it's just me here. Thank you again for continuing to pray! We still have such a long road ahead of us, but are optimistic that he will get better.



Caed received quite a surprise when 18

That is so cool! Christ works in all varieties of people for the good of others. I pray the 24-48 hours come soon and will be beneficial for all of you! Audra

Yes, God is good all the time! I agree with you Audra, God works in so many different ways in His people. I would have loved to be riding with the Harley group. It is the season and the perfect weather for riding!! Maybe God is sending a message, it is time to "hit the road" for little Caed. Not on a Harley just yet, but at least to take in some sunshine and feel a normal world around him. We will be praying for a smooth transition to do just that. God will be faithful to come along side. We'll be lifting you up as you continue on the journey!

Love you much,
Randy, Nancy, Hillary & Matt

Father God,

Thank You for the many people who give of their time to help arrange special visits to Caed and other children who are hospitalized. And thank You that people are willing to do the visiting - the Tech football players, motorcyclists, Winnie the Pooh, etc., etc., etc. You are using this blog to perhaps show new areas of ministry in which many of us could be involved. Open us to the possibilities, Father.

Please help the arrangements for Caed's 24-48 hour pass to be accomplished. Let the time away from the hospital be a healing balm for this little boy - and his family.

Father, we continue to pray for Caed's complete and total healing, but we ask that our trust in You be more and more prevalent. Thank You for continuing to walk step by step with Caed and his family, and for using this entire two months + for Your glory - even if we don't totally understand at the present time. That's where the trust comes in.

In Your Son's Name,
Amen

Your prayer partner in Albuquerque,
Debbie
