Another great day! Jon didn't make it over this morning in time for music therapy but the therapist left a note saying that Selah followed her the whole time with her eyes and head. The therapist would go from one side of the bed to the other and Selah watched her the whole time! She had never seen her be as attentive!
Jon worked with Selah with breathing with out the trach and she did great. She never got upset or anxious and her oxygen level stayed at 100%:) He did alot of "selah talk" and she would respond by moving her mouth back at him but she really didn't make a lot of noise but she worked on it throughout the day. They were visited by chaplaincy services and Selah seemed very suspicious of the chaplain LOL she watched him the whole time he was in her room.
Tomorrow we have invited the students and doctor who helped save Sam and Selah to come and meet her. They met Sam before he was released from the hospital but now they will have a chance to meet Selah and see that their efforts were not in vain. As medical students, I think it will be good for them to see a "hopeless case" that isn't so hopeless anymore!
Our kids were given the gift of going to Lasar Tag and they went with Jon tonight and played a few games & had a blast! Shad had talked of nothing else all day long, so he is a happy boy! I had kept the little ones up all day, without a nap and fed them a big supper and gave them both a bath and got them in bed early and I got to read:) I'm reading "Truman" by David McCoulgh....very good book!
We have terrible internet tonight so this is short and sweet....thanks for all your prayers for Selah!!!!!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
Was just reading your post for today. Simply amazing! Then, I looked to the left of the page and saw the link titled "Clanton Adoption". I dont know how I missed seeing that before. My daughter and I watched it..The tears just flowed from both of us. Sometimes, there are just not enough words to express how we feel... About Gods graciousness..his Mercy..his patience with his children..his forgiveness..my heart weeps for children, for the orphans who have never experienced a parents love, an unconditional love..You and Your Husband and family are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story...for bringing to our attention the needs of these precious children...
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to read your post each day, and read the continuation of Selah's miracle. Love and prayers to all of you. :-)
ReplyDeleteso happy to hear about a good report. continued prayers for her healing!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear this! I've been "lurking" in your blog for the last few months, excitedly watching the way God answers our prayers and is healing your little girl. Just wanted you to know you and your family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteI left a message on yesterdays post. Hope you have a minute to check it out.
Peace and Prayers
Was the priest wearing a black shirt with a little white clerical square at his neck? I'm just wondering if Selah would have been interested in that one little square as she watched him move around her room. If her vision is blurry that square might have been captivating. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo thankful, as always, to hear that she continues to improve, day by day. Praise God!!!
Hi Yvonne! I've been following your blog for a while but never comment. I'm absolutey blown away by how well Selah is doing! She's truly a miracle child. My mom works for a large children's hospital and I told her about Selah and asked her to recommend studying fish oil treatment in children there. Please join me in praying that the doctors will be willing to try it at her hospital too. Thank you!
