DownshoreDrift

We are still waiting to hear back from the various pathology labs concerning the results of Caelan's tumor. He is healing nicely from his surgery, so God is answering all of your prayers. He is not sleeping well at night, and (yawn!), that is having it's affect on the rest of the family. He also had an ear infection with a fever of 102, but the doctors have seen him and say that he is doing well over all.  Thank you so much for your prayers and your concern. I'll post an update when we know our futher course of action. As it stands right now, we are waiting until Thursday, when we go back to meet with the doctors.

I have not blogged lately because I have been very busy, we have not had anything new to report on Caelan, and because I also know that of the hundreds of visits a day that this site has been getting, 90% of them are primarily to get an update on Caelan. Thank you so much for visiting and your prayers!  I want to let everyone know that I will return to posting on other things of interest to me that chronicle how God is present in the little things of life to bring us closer and closer to Him (something that I have called Downshoredrift).   If you want to skip all of that and just read about what is happening with our precious son, you can go to Caelan Updates on my sidebar under CATEGORIES or hit the link here.  I just wanted to give a disclaimer before I started writing about other things to let you know that our family is going to return to some sense of normalcy, and part of that will be shown in my blogging on other issues, including Caelan. I hope you will track along with me through my other observations as well, but if not, hit the Caelan link and keep up that way.

Your comments are always appreciated and have been so encouraging to me and my family. I plan to print out these posts, put them in a book, and let Caelan read all of the prayers for him during this time when he gets older. Can you imagine how it will affect his life, when he is 16 and he reads about how during this time that he cannot remember, so many people prayed for him? I pray that God uses this in his life and the lives of others to draw many people to Himself. More later . . . God bless each of you!!!!

By the way, here is a great link from John Piper concerning his cancer. I thought you might find it interesting:  Don't Waste Your Cancer.  What do you think? Some of it is really good and I am still working through other parts.
