Blake's Health Update 2009/09/06

Just a quick update to let y'all know that not much has changed over the last few days in Blake's condition.




Blake has spent most of the week at Grandpa & Grandma Fraser's house, just up the road from us. He came home nightly for a couple of hours to talk to his sweetheart in Brazil via Skype (Hi Anelyse!), then would head back to my parents' home for more quality visiting time.





Right now he's sleeping in the tub!




He's usually up about 2-3 times through the night. I don't even hear him get up! Remember when they were babies and you could hear them roll over in their crib???




He's still feeling very weak and experiencing pain. Jeesh, these tests just can't come soon enough; however, I am very thankful that the doctors have sped them up for us. People can wait months and months for tests, so I'm grateful we're only waiting a few days or weeks.





We're going to church this morning. I'm excited to see how everything looks, now that everything is put back in it's place! Our church was just recently renovated with a new paint job and new carpeting. I was asked to assist in picking out colours and carpeting, and although some folks are somewhat 'concerned' with the colours we've chosen, I'm liking it better everytime I see it. I guess if it's a colour that they don't like, they can ask the Lord to ensure that He doesn't have their Mansion in Glory painted in that tone! hahaha.





So Tuesday is the date for Blake's abdomenal ultrasound. Maybe we'll have more news for you by the end of the week. Please continue to pray that his pain is minimal (or better yet, GONE) and that he gains some strength from the protein drinks he's consuming, recommended by the doctor to get his strength built up and get some nourishment into him.





Maybe we will soon get THIS silly boy back:





Blake, you've been hanging out with Little Cousin Abby too long.... :O) When you see your Aunt Danielle with a hairbrush and elastics..... RUN!!!!
