Still Faithful
Eli is so strong. God's power and strength displayed in his not so little life never ceases to amaze me. He is a fighter. He has made it this far in large part due to all of you out there who are fighting for him in your prayers. Thank you for continuing to stand with us on this front.
God's victory song can be sung yet again over Eli Jones. At his EEG, his tech said that he was the best 2 year old she had ever examined. She then wondered if it was because he has had so many EEG's that he was used to the routine. Whatever the reason, I call it the grace of God.
God gave me the wisdom to call all the wires on his head a hat. Eli likes hats. Once he got used to the idea of this being a 'special hat' he cooperated with the tech and let her cover his head with the wires and gauze. Then he fell asleep within about 5 minutes of the test beginning- perfect. Eli was so soundly asleep that it was hard to wake him up when the test was completed. God granted him with peaceful rest even despite all that was going on around him.
God surely answered our prayers for Eli over the last few weeks. When I got the results from Dr.Kojic about Eli's EEG she said that this scan looked ever better than the last scan we had in January. Eli is continuing to improve.
This was God's way of encouraging us that He is still faithful in Eli's life. He is still continuing this healing work He has begun in Eli. A few little seizures are not going to steal our joy or shake our faith. God is much bigger than these seizures and He is Lord over Eli.
We increased Eli's medicine and he has responded very well to the new dose. He has remained seizure free ever since the increase. Eli even made the transition to the new level of medicine better than he usually does. I didn't see a spike in the side effects as greatly as I usually do when we up his dose. Again God has shown His faithfulness and goodness to us.
Eli still needs your prayers. But more than that I ask you to cry out to God in thanksgiving for Eli's life and healing, for the good work God has begun in Eli. May his life ever bring God glory. May God's power evident in Eli bring Him much praise and adoration. God is good. Jesus is Lord. Oh come let us adore Him!!!
