Praises & Prayers
PRAISES
My dear hubby took me to see Craig and his mom and dad on my way home from my doctor's appointment yesterday (everything is a-okay for me!). Craig's mom Roxane was happy to see me and give me the latest update.
Many good things are happening! Thus far Craig is tolerating the slow gradual decreases in his medications...in fact, instead of the dozen plus IV machines he had on Saturday, he's down to 6-7!! And it was so nice to see that they had removed the line of syringes from the foot of his bed that they want instantly on hand in case of him coding!! Just another sign that progress is being made!
This is all the IV machines he had at the beginning...the pole with 6, now has just 3!! The big unit behind the Lion is the ossicilator...it's getting it's eviction notice soon!
They are going to try to get Craig off the ossicilator and onto the regular vent in the next day or two...of course taking everything VERY slowly. They've bumped the ossicilator down several times and he appears to tolerating that just fine!
The medical team is wanting Craig to start to wiggle his hands and feet a bit, so they have decreased some of the sedation medication...but not to the point where he's opening his eyes yet.
So overall, good things are happening! Hopefully very soon we'll see this little happy face again!
Prayers Still Needed
We need to pray for the health of little Craig's organs. His body and especially his organs (liver, kidneys, etc.) have been through a great deal of stress. We need to pray that each one will line up back to the way God created it!
Continue to pray that he handles each of the decreases in medications and on the ossicilator/vent well and without further complications.
Also, keep Rick & Roxane in your prayers. Life's little stresses on top of Craig's illness is a lot. Pray God gives them strength and endurance and show that He'll continue to provide for ALL of their needs!
A Big Thank YOU!!!
Rick & Roxane wanted me to thank each of you for all your prayer support thus far and for adding him to all the prayer chains. They know there's quite an Army out there praying for their little boy and they couldn't thank you enough!

PRAISE GOD! Thank you for the update and what a good report for Craig, praise God for His faithfulness. I can not wait until you post an updated picture of Craig's beautiful smile.
I am also glad to hear the good report about you, another PRAISE GOD!
Praying for Craig, Rick and Roxane.
Have a wonderful day.
Looking at these pics -- brings a flood of emotions. Sadness mainly....utter disgust that satan is such a wienie that he picks on defenseless children.........well I shouldnt say defenseless.......Craig has an army of Angels all around him and I imagine them all standing guard ready to pounce the next time satan shows his ugly little head. God is in control. Praying for Craig and his parents. May God cause Craigs little body to heal supernaturally quick....and hold his mom and dad close in His loving arms...reassuring them that all is well. Can I get a witness?!
AMEN AND AMEN!!!
Praise God for His healing touch Libby. I am so happy to hear about Craig and I am glad that your feeling ok now. We will continue to pray for that precious little guy.
Blessings

@DorkyandToto - @Lynnflo - @SavedByGrace65 - Thank you for your continued prayers ladies! And yes, Lynnflo, Satan is a mighty pig!!! I realize the pictures are not easy to see...yet at the same time, expresses the gravity of the situation. AND yet, will be an even greater testimony when Life is VICTORIOUS yet again and this little boy runs the halls of WOLC again! Blessings gals!
