Isaac's birthday went very well for him. He had been looking forward to this particular day for a long time due to his illness. He was most concerned with what he would eat. He ate very well yesterday and liked it all but it doesn't seem to have agreed with him. He was up much of the night in the bathroom and there was some blood. It amazes me to have him do so well for so long and then see that again. I had a hard night trying not to be discouraged and trying not to fret about what I will feed him now. He finally gets filled up with what he has been eating. If I taper back until he is back to "normal" he will be so hungry all the time. Please pray for wisdom as I try to figure out this next step. In my much neglected Bible Study today I read The Bible is God's cleansing agent in our lives. If we take part in it everyday, we'll soon find the thoughts of God purifying our minds and changing our hearts. But if we neglect it , we are facing a battle of temptation without a weapon. I am afraid that as things were going well for Isaac I found myself caught up once more in the busyness of my household and put off time with the Lord until evening when I was a bit too tired to meditate on it. I haven't liked the person I have been during that time; impatient, easily flustered and anxious.
The picture is Isaac receiving a new shirt and tie. This was the most excited he looked all night even though he also got a BB gun. He loves to dress up and look like a gentleman. He got a snazzy green tie with a white shirt. I knew when I saw it that he would light up like a beacon. I am happy with the reward of this picture. I like to find just that gift that says "I really know you and what you are about." Isaac was extremely appreciative that both sets of Grandparents could be there and my brother's family. It made it more festive.
Please pray for Isaac's body to continue the healing we have seen. Pray for this set-back to be minor and part of the process. Pray for wisdom concerning his food. Pray for him as he didn't grow this last year and it really upset him. He is worried his younger brother will be taller than him. He went to bed discouraged and defeated. This illness does stunt your growth and stops you from growing actually as your body starves itself. Pray for him to feel God's hand upon him. Thank you for checking this and thinking and praying for Isaac.
