Wednesday, August 27: When we started using this page to update everyone on our precious son’s condition and progress, I had no idea that God would use it in the way that He has. It has been to say the very least, overwhelming. It has been a blessing and a comfort to me and my family to know of the many people who have prayed for us. I absolutely know that it is because of prayer that we are where we are today. I know that the Lord has healed and is healing Dane. I have felt led to be transparent in my updates/posts/status – I’m not really sure what to call it. So tonight, I wanted to share my heart today. Dane had a great day – really – he progressed in literally everything he did. The cognitive work that he did today was hard – I was proud of his improvement. One thing of considerable improvement was a “dot to dot” type Motor skills worksheet. He began this project when we started outpatient therapy. He had a lot of trouble that first time copying what he say - a lot of processing and lot of visual. But today – the pattern was much more complex, and he just whizzed right through it like he’d done a million of them – amazing. A new student joined the program today and Dane was able to tell his dad all about her, what happened to her, what her boyfriend’s name was – pretty awesome. He ate better today than he has since the accident. He eats well – it just takes him a lot of time. Not today – he ate everything we put in front of him at every meal and it took him no time and we did not have to keep reminding him to eat. His eyes are making huge improvements – today he did all of his morning therapy without his eyes being patched (he wears glasses that are patched) they looked awesome – it was like I was looking Dane before the injury. I cried. Then we came home and had homebound school. We started with using star testing in reading just to see where he is. I stood behind him mostly and it is so hard not to help!! One thing I saw was that he just didn’t recognize words, he could read them – he just didn’t recall them. He did well and Mrs Hedeman kept reminding me – he’s only been talking for 6 weeks. She related to me that his grade equivalency is better now than it was 2 weeks ago when they tested at rehab. It is encouraging to hear and I am so thankful for every breath he takes but the momma in me aches deep in my heart for him. I know its ALL in there- we see it coming back daily but the struggle is painful for me – I think his attitude is great – he will tell you he has to work hard and he is better. It’s me – who hurts because its my child and I love him soooooo much. How did God feel when He watched His own Son suffer. It is too painful. God could have stopped it but He didn’t because He loves us. SO tonight I am thankful for every breath, every word, every unrecognized word because God is doing a work in Dane and I trust God for His complete healing.. I am tearful for my child to be restored, so pray for me and every mother, because parenting is hard on the heart. So I refer to my favorite verse again – Psalm 34:17- The righteous cry out and the Lord hears, and He delivers them out of ALL their troubles……Glory to God, we have Him as our example……..Sunday’s coming……..
