Day 25 - Spinning Wheels

Isaiah 53

 ⁴ Surely he took up our pain
   and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
   stricken by him, and afflicted.
⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions,
   he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
   and by his wounds we are healed.
⁶ We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
   each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
   the iniquity of us all.

I am so thankful that He took all of our sin already. As we spend more and more time here it becomes harder and harder to stay positive. Don't get me wrong I am not saying we are becoming angry. It's just the little things that creep up on you. We get ill at dumb things because we are tired. It's easy for us to forget what he did for us. It's easy to forget the amount of suffering He went through on our behalf so that we may even have a chance at life. I need to continually remind myself of these things so that I don't become complacent and allow bitterness to creep in. Jesus suffered a tremendous amount for us. It doesn't even compare to this trial we are going through. I have no right or reason to complain at this point. God is still the same today as he was yesterday as he will be tomorrow. He is so good to us!

Levi is kindve spinning wheels a little. He is even moving in the wrong direction some it seems. Not much improvement to report. He did get a feeding so lets hope he tolerates these. His oxygen requirements have gone up some. The doctor is not ready to try steroids yet though. We are in a holding pattern as they call it.

For my prayer warriors

Levi - tolerate feedings. Get off of the vent. No infections. No swelling.

Here is a little video. Hopefully this brings Levi to life a little more for those who only see pics of him.
