Fergus is the youngest son of Matt and Esther Lockerby, in the United States of America. (Matt is the son of David and Carolyn Lockerby. Esther is the daughter of Larry and Christine Craver.) Here you will find the medical updates and prayer requests for baby Fergus, who almost drowned on March 16, 2009 and is now suffering many life threatening health problems. We invite comments, prayers, well wishes, and questions. Let's lift him up and let's live in hope that Fergus will fully recover!

not settled yet
We are going a little crazy: Matt's down on the farm in Cape working and staying there. The kids are at Grandpa's fishing, playing games, and chilling out. Gus, Molly, Aunt Deborah and I are all here left to try to sort out the kinks of moving, clean the house, and pack some more. Both babies really miss the kids and are giving us adults the hardest time they can. So, with lots of coffee, chocolate, and ice cream, we've survived this past week.
Tomorrow night, our help arrives!
Quick update on Gus: he is doing great. He is improving in small ways that add up to a lot. We've taken him again to see Chad, the ABM practitioner here in St. Louis and the difference is fantastic. Gus is starting to move his arms, hands, and really, his whole body in new and better ways. He isn't rolling over yet, but getting closer. Another big plus for us- his medicine is getting reduced more and more.
Molly is almost running around the house, keeping us on our toes as she runs away carrying everything with her.
Ian, George, and Rose are all having a great time visiting at Grandpa's. They all have a bad case of poison ivy and it rained all week long but they have reassured me that the games and movies more than made up for the bad weather and rash.

Hi Adrienne and Paul! Glad to hear from you. The PI is finally going away...but Ian is in bed with a fever. They got sick and brought it home. Matt loves the job, the people, the animals, everything. I asked how job satisfaction was and he said it was excellent. We miss you so much. Let us know if you happen to come down our way!! love you!

Hi Esther and family,
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture of Molly. So cute. I'm happy Matt found a place to work that he enjoys. I am praying for Fergus, and will remember to pray for a vehicle to bless and care for your family.
Love to you all,
