Day 41

Blood work day! This morning we are taking Seton in to have blood drawn. This is always an experience. Seton is very hard to stick, it is hard to find his veins, and then when they do find it he only gives them a few drops of blood. We gave him some water yesterday & this morning with hopes that it will help. We normally take him to the hospital but since there are some many sick kiddos this time of year…we are going to try a local lab. I will give them a few tries…if they can not get a good stick then off to BSA we go.  Poor guy just doesn’t like giving up his blood. Please pray that his blood draw goes smoothly. He is also tired today because once again he did not sleep well last night; pray that does not affect him this morning at the lab. Also pray for protection from illness if we do end up at the hospital.

I have noticed that over the past few days and weeks that fewer and fewer people are reading each post. Thank you to all of you who continually read and pray for Seton every day (even if you get behind on reading…life gets in the way and we can’t spend our day reading on the internet) Thank you for praying! Some people may have given up on God and his ability to heal Seton. We have not and we will not. We will not give up on God, yes Seton is doing better than his doctors expected, yes he is still alive but I refuse to believe that is all God has for Seton. God sent his son to live on earth so that we could have life and have it to the full, abundantly, satisfying life. (John 10:10)  By his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5) I am standing on those scriptures! God has a bigger plan for Seton’s life, bigger than you or I could ever imagine. God CAN and WILL, fully heal Seton. We just have to be patient and know that God’s timing is not our own timing. Nothing is too big, too hard, or too complex for God. Isn’t that GREAT NEWS!
