Communication

Today was the first day the family was without a nurse's assistance. It was a busy day balancing all of the family's needs. Grace continues to show encouraging signs that she is fighting past all of this. Today she started clicking her tongue on the roof of her mouth. Mom described her interaction with Grace as similar to talking to a baby cooing. Mom said that it was as if Grace was trying to communicate, "hey Mom - its me!"

It is the family's goal to make it to church tomorrow, but that will all depend on how the evening and morning goes. Grace is in a pretty consistent storming pattern and according to the pattern she is due to storm tomorrow. But, we serve a God bigger than patterns. We are praying that the pattern is broken once and for all tonight.

I try to ask the family a few times a week if there are any specific needs I can put out on the blog. The current "want" (mom says it isn't a need :) ) is for some sort of bean bag chair. The family is just trying to have options for Grace to be in different positions. If you have one of these please e-mail info@gracegoodday.com.

Please Pray For:
  • Praise for Grace's communication
  • Praise for an awesome day time nurse
  • Prayer for storming to cease allowing the family to attend church WITH Grace for the first time since the incident
  • Prayer for strength and unity in Dad and Mom's marriage
  • Prayer for financial provision (If you are interested in helping in this area please e-mail info@kucejko.com.)

How exciting is that Grace is now home. I am certain it is exhausting, as well.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out for you as you journey through this time of transition.
