Walnuts

Grace went to the park the other day and the family put a walnut up to her nose. She focused on it with her eyes and seemed to like the smell. I asked for some clarification about Grace not "seeing" at this point. Mom does not believe Grace is seeing at this time, but that she uses her sense of smell quite effectively to locate objects or people with her eyes. Mom explained it best when she said that she does not startle when you suddenly put something in front of her or motion right in front of her face unless there is a sounds.

Right now the focus has been weaning Grace off of certain medications as well as trying to regulate her food intake. Grace has gained some weight which is concerning to Mom. They believe it is due to the amount of food she is getting in relation to her lack or activity at this point. The doctor and Mom are working on this area to make sure Grace gets just the right amount of food.

The nurses continue to bless the family. One of the nurses helped Mom decorate the master bedroom quite romantically I hear :) Another nurse offered to work "overtime" for no pay so the family could enjoy sometime out together on the 4th.

Please Pray For:
  • Complete healing and restoration for Grace
  • Praise for the nurses
  • Wisdom in regulating Grace's food intake
  • Financial Provision (If you are interested in helping in this area please e-mail info@gracegoodday.com)

Praise God that Grace is completely healed by Jesus' stripes.

I claim back Grace's sight in Jesus' Name. God healed Bartimaus and Grace will also receive her sight. God is not a respecter of persons.

Praise God that Grace is being weaned off more medications. As this is possible, Grace will regain more control over her body.

Praise God for wisdom for Mom and the doctor to regulate Grace's food intake and weight gain.

Praise God for the nurses who are helping with Grace and spending time helping the family with decorating and time out for the family on the 4th.

Praise God for God's provision for the family in every area.

Shalom -- nothing missing, nothing broken.

We continue to pray that God would continue to give His best to this family. We ask for unity, peace, joy, wisom and strength alongside healing. Thank You for the progress Grace has made so far. Thank You for the progess she will continue to make. I pray that one day she will be a woman who can take care of other people instead of the child who is being taken care of today.

In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
