Moving forward???

James was off the BiPAP for 2 hours twice yesterday and gets to be off for 4 hours at a time today. He looks so much more comfortable without it on. He opens his eyes when we talk to him. He doesn't talk to us yet, but I am praying for the day he will. I dreamed last night that I walked into his hospital room and said Hi to him and he said Hi back. Only God knows if that was just a Mom's wishful dream or an indication of what God is going to do. I am going to trust that He knows best and praise Him for every small step forward that we get.

Jonathan and I were just talking yesterday about the struggle it's been to get the neurosurgeons to talk about treating James' tumor. Although we understand that James still hasn't responded enough yet to know for sure if we should treat the tumor, we worried that the conversation, if we get there, will be a battle. But......SURPRISE! James' neurosurgeon came in this morning and told us that he is setting up an appointment with the radiation oncologist in plans of starting radiation next week. We will meet with her tomorrow. I think there is still some questions....and this week will answer those questions....but the ball is rolling, PRAISE THE LORD!!

I continue to ask God to make James well...or take him Home....and that I will have the wisdom to know which way is right. Our #1 goal is to make sure James doesn't just suffer. But we are encouraged by all that God has done in the last 2 weeks!!!
