coffee, coffee, and more coffee

The past two weeks hit us with a fairly bad case of the flu. Everyone except for Deborah, Molly and I took their turn with it...lasting for at least 4 days. I can say we are all officially tired of chicken broth, herbal teas, and smelling tea tree oil throughout the house. Tomorrow we'll spend the whole day airing out the house and disinfecting everything again. Fergus has not been up to any of his normal therapies this past week, so tomorrow, we'll try again. Hopefully, we'll get some good sleep tonight so we can back down on the pots of coffee tomorrow.





(These pictures were just before Gus was sick this last weekend. The hole in the shirt is so that we can get to the g-button even if he has an undershirt on.

He and Molly love being together.

The last of these is blurry because we kept trying to get him when he was so happy about getting the toy...but none came out clear and I wanted to share it with you anyway.)


Please continue to pray that Fergus' legs move more and become stronger. We are working hard with him to move them so that he won't be so bored being stuck in one place. He desperately wants to roll over. Please pray that God would hear his heart's desire to move and play like any other 2 year old. He tries so hard to grab the toys, swing his body over to roll, and laughs so much when he finally does. Please continue to join us in these prayers. Thank you!

  2. I am so thrilled to see that he's looking at the camera and smiling in that second picture! That is so good! God is really great isn't He? Sometimes, I forget that until He does something that no doctor could do. You have been truly blessed!

  3. you know, I didn't even think about the way Gus is looking into the camera but you are right - we don't have any other pictures with him looking directly at us. Little things like that aren't very little to us. God is good. thanks for seeing that.
