The last couple of days have been busy. It is wonderful to have the kids back with us. Their time out in Maryland and Virginia was wonderful but we missed them.
Fergus has been doing really well. Prayers about him relaxing while being awake are being answered. Before today, any stimulation from anyone or anything strongly agitated him. Lights, noise, talking, or just being around him was too much for him. Today, I settled him into his bed, after changing the bedding and tucked him in. He was starting to fall asleep so I sat in a chair waiting for him to fall into a deep sleep. After I sat down, his heartrate soared and his breaths were fast. I jumped up to see what was wrong. As soon as he saw me and heard me speak to him, he relaxed. I grabbed a tall chair and laid a hand on his shoulder. He completely relaxed then and fell sound asleep. It was so nice to be able to be with him and not have him upset by my presence, but rather comforted instead.
The hospital is hopeful about moving us to Ranken Jordan by Monday morning. God has been gracious to us to provide a bed there.
Please continue to pray for the full restoration of our son. Thank you, esther
