This morning the doctor said that Fergus looked good enough to move out of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit so this evening, I am writing in a comfortable room up on the pediatric floor with Fergus sleeping soundly next to me. I'm really enjoying staying with him all of the time. I'll probably sleep less overall but I'm a mom with her baby so I'm happier.
He is still very agitated when awake - his heart rate goes very fast and his breathing sounds like a machine: very loud, very consistent, and very fast. I am doing everything I'm told to do and whatever I can think to do but little seems to help.
Please pray:
- that he becomes more comfortable while awake
- that he is restored mentally and physically
- for a safe trip for our family in the next few days (our kids coming to us)
- that we can get Fergus into Ranken Jordan very soon
thanks, esther

Esther and Matt! Our hearts are rejoicing with the good news that Fergus is out of PICU!! We attribute the healing power of prayer to Fergus' quick turn around since your post regarding his isolation just yesterday morning. Our God of the Resurrection is present and active in all the events surrounding your family. It is awe inspiring to watch Him work! May you have a joyous and blessed Palm Sunday as many in the Body of Christ from around the world continue to stand in the gap, our hearts united in faith, love and anticipation for Fergus and all of you! Our hope is that God will receive all the glory!

ReplyDeleteWe heard about Fergus and have been praying for miracles for your family. We are praying for comfort as Fergus recovers, peace as you face unknowns, and trust in the God who was not surprised by this and who loves your beautiful son even more than you do.
Grateful for His healing,
kim & paul mcvety

Hi you may not remember me very well but I remember you. My name is Laura Souther from Christ Community Church I was a little girl when you left. when I heard this story my heart was torn in two.... and I am relieved to know that he is doing better and is out of PICU. I will always remember you and pray for you. Here is a quote......... I don't remember where I got it "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it." I will always remember you and pray for you.
