March 19, 2007 - Prayer is working...

Hello All! Want to provide you with an update on Erik. He is doing great these days! His seizures appear to have been under control for the past 2-3 weeks. This is such an answered prayer! We continue to pray for continues stability and thank God for taking care of this for Erik! The other really good news we have to share is that he appears to be getting stronger every day. One hurdle that Erik needs to overcome is gaining strength in his neck and back. This will help with the feeding issues, with helping him gain independence, and will help him with overall progress. Lately, he has been really showing us that he has better head control and that he can move and hold his neck in various positions for extended periods of time which is VERY exciting to see! Slowly he is being restored! The main obstacle we are working through now is with nursing. We have yet to stabilize a schedule on a weekly basis. This means that we have different nurses coming and going and we think Erik would do better with consistent nursing care. Please pray that his weekly schedule will stabilize and that God will send the right nurses for him. So far, all of the nurses we have had have been great so we cannot and are not complaining! It would just be good to know who was coming and going on a weekly basis instead of having to work through it weekly. Thanks for everything . . . Erik's Family
