God is good. All the time. Silas is simply amazing. He did school last week. He never called me to pick him up early. He was tired but he powered through. And he loved every minute of it. He was so so so happy. He had homework every night but he loved that too. HeContinue reading “Silas Update #114 (August 13, 9:30 pm)”

Silas is a miracle. Period. Dr. Spiller (hematology) called today while we were at the Ophthalmologist. She wanted us to know that WE ARE DONE WITH THE BELLY SHOT!!!

All is well. Sometimes a mama just can’t sleep. Sometimes the thoughts are just so swim-y. Sometimes the heart and mind are just too excited. And too thankful. Of course, I have a lot of conversations about Silas. About how he is doing. About what he has been through. About what we have all beenContinue reading “Silas Update #110 (July 31, 4:09 am)”

Silas continues to rock. 🎸 He is getting stronger every day. He is also a bit more antsy. He REALLY wants to be active. He is ready to do all the things. But that is not what God has for him yet. And Silas gets that. He is working hard to be patient. But heContinue reading “Silas Update #109 (July 29, 8:42 pm)”

Silas is amazing. The Lord is doing such a work in him and through him. His heart’s desire is to be an instrument in the Redeemer’s hands. And Silas is doing everything, as far as it depends on him, to be equipped. One piece of that, is learning God’s Word. He has worked so hardContinue reading “Silas Update #108 (July 24, 9:45 pm)”

Well, Silas is a nut. Yes please! Sometimes a boy just gets the giggles when his sweet dad is trying to put a needle in his belly. And on that note, the blood work from hematology is in and it looks great! So, now we will just maintain that dosage and re-test in a fewContinue reading “Silas Update #107 (July 18, 10:25 pm)”

Silas is doing so well! Praise the Lord! He is sleeping super well. He is learning to navigate life with blurred and double vision. He is not fatigued as easily. This week, he asked what he could do to help around the house more. NOT pour cereal! We learned that the hard way! But weContinue reading “Silas Update #106 (July 16, 1:15 pm)”

Silas continues to progress. Today he mentioned that balance is feeling a bit easier. What a blessing! He is sleeping well and long at night but is not as fatigued during the day. He is still in the Word deeply and daily. He has memorized 9 verses of 1 Thessalonians. His concentration is not 100%Continue reading “Silas Update #105 (July 12, 9:30 pm)”
