a good night's rest

Last night was the first night that Fergus and I rested well. Yesterday, after several hours of hard breathing and fast heart rates, I stopped or slowed down as much stimulation as I could - no talking, no noise, dim light, and no touching. He was asleep within 5 minutes and continued to be calm the rest of the night, even when awake. Thank you for praying. **Please continue to pray that he calms down while awake.**

We just found out that we will be transferred to Ranken Jordan in St. Louis on Wednesday. I'll let you know more when I find out.

The medication for stiffness has really helped. We can move his limbs, fingers, and toes a lot better. Yesterday the physical therapist held him, sitting and crossed his legs which was great to see him do.


thank you, esther
