Silas is Silas. More and more and more each day.
He had an orthopedic appointment. Bye bye cast and hello splint. He is healing nicely. He goes back in 2 weeks. He had physical therapy. They were impressed and think he will progress quickly.
Si’s vision is still blurry and double. So he can’t read very well, it makes him dizzy, throws off his balance, etc.
Si is now walking with no support. Ryan or I just walk right beside him… just in case. Tonight we took a family walk around the loop by our house. We brought the wheelchair but Silas never needed it. He walked the whole thing! (0.66 miles to be exact). And it was a win for Collin and Alexa who loved pushing each other in the wheelchair!
Caleb was beyond thrilled tonight when Silas climbed the stairs to tuck him in. 🥰
I look back on this last month and marvel. I love that song “He will hold me fast.” I have loved it for years. But now, I get it all the way.
And I want to make something very very clear. God held us. We were so weak. So broken. But he held us fast. Because we were bought at such a price, because he loves us so, because his promises last.
Our faith was strong going into this trial. And I’m so very thankful for that. Seventeen years ago I went through a trial and I wasn’t equipped. My faith was so weak. And I crumbled big time. (I actually wrote about it. “Darkness”. I posted it in the spring of 2021). I wasted three years of my life. I didn’t point anyone to Christ, I was far too busy pointing to myself. I am so thankful for my Lord and His steadfast love for me.
So many of you have cared so deeply. You have fervently prayed. You have ridden the roller coaster/torture device right alongside us. Thank you.
Please pray that Si’s vision returns to normal. please pray for 100% healing. Please pray for endurance and strength and comfort for him. Please pray that he takes every opportunity to shine his light for Jesus and give God all the glory for his miraculous healing!
If you have not read Si’s testimony, shame on you! 😜 Here it is…
