good news

We found out Sunday that his sweating was due to a reduction in the morphine. He did better Saturday night and Sunday. Today, he is sweating still but seems to sleep better and deeper. He is more aware and awake in between naps. He is moving more, too. His shoulders are moving (almost as though he is trying to roll over)but his legs don't move except when upset (and then, he tends to just straighten them out). We are glad to see him come off of morphine - one more step closer to getting better.

One of the nurses' assistants told me the other day that he calms down really well if she tells him that, "Patty, Mom, and Dad will be here in just a couple of hours." Apparently, he knows our names.

thank you for being so faithful to us, esther

  2. Dearest Esther-
    So happy to hear Fergus is progressing. The Lord is kind and loves your sweet boy! Fergus is the same age as my Andrew so there is a special place in my heart for him. We pray for him everyday and my girls like hearing updates and cheering him on. Stay strong Lockerby family!
    In Him,
