Silas Update #60 (June 11, 6:20 pm)

Posted bycindyatkinson0516Posted inUncategorized

Silas is doing so well. His numbers all look good. He has spent most of the day sleeping. However, we are seeing more and more glimpses of him when he is awake. He even tracked his nurse with his eyes when she walked across the room. That is a really big deal. He is under SO much sedation. So the fact that he can respond in the slightest is amazing. But watching someone walk across the room… next level.

On the home front, the kids are doing well. Ryan did hospital duty today and I stayed home with the crew. I am definitely not myself but each child voiced that they loved having me home.

Please pray that Si’s ICP stays low tonight so that the team can wean down sedation. Pray that when he comes out of sedation he stays calm. Pray for 100% healing for Silas. Please pray that the Lord comforts his heart and gives him all the strength and endurance.

Please pray for Ryan and I. These are hard days, but we see and feel God’s goodness in abundance. No matter what happens, there is no reason to despair. Because we are all safely in the Father’s hands. Please pray that all that truth stays in the forefront of our minds.

Please pray for Si’s siblings- Caleb, Cheyenne, Collin & Alexa. They are so amazing. They are talking a lot about missing Silas. Which is good. Please pray for all those who are helping us care for them. It’s a lot.

Please pray for Si’s team- doctors, nurses, etc. They are extremely invested in Silas and our whole family. I know it’s a lot on them.

If you have not had a chance to read Si’s testimony, scroll on down. It’s under the updates. Or you can watch him read it at the bottom of update #54.

Caleb and Alexa wanted to do a shout out to Si today. 🥰

  3. Exodus 17:8-13 tells of the attack on Israel by Amalek:
    “So Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose for us men, and go out and fight Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.’ So Joshua did as Moses told him and fought with Amalek, while Moses , Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and when ever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed.
    BUT MOSES’ HANDS GREW WEARY, SO THEY TOOK A STONE AND PUT IT UNDER HIM, AND HE SAT ON IT, WHILE AARON AND HUR HELD UP HIS HANDS, ONE ON ONE SIDE, AND THE OTHER ON THE OTHER SIDE. SO HIS HANDS WERE STEADY UNTIL THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN. AND JOSHUA OVERWHELMED AMALEK AND HIS PEOPLE WITH THE SWORD. ”

    For a day or two now I have been picturing you two as Moses. The prayer warriors standing with you–in many homes across many states–are holding you up in prayer. As the battle is waged, and pray-ers are faithful, you are enabked to stay strong in your faith and hope, and God receives the glory as He gives you victory over overwhelming surges of fear and desperation and pain as you watch Silas’ suffering. And… others who are watching this amazing hour by hour victory, are drawn to the Father!

    I am praying for a refreshing of your spirits and souls right now as you rest in the Father’s hand.
