Day One Hundred Twenty-one

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" Philippians 4:4

Today was a slow, relaxing day.  Ryan had a good day, although he did get sick this morning.  It's frustrating that it's now just a normal thing for him, and he's doesn't appear to be bothered when it happens. He quietly goes and does his business and walks about out and says, "I just threw up, but I'm fine." Sometimes, he won't say anything at all and just go back to what he was doing. 

Mirjan took the kids to a birthday party this afternoon.  Ryan and I were going to go run some errands, but at the last moment he wanted to go to the party.  After they returned, Ryan and I did run those errands.  At Home Depot, Ryan was impressed with the manners of the automated check-out machine.  After we were done, it said, "Thank you for shopping at Home Depot."  He said it was nice of the "robot" to have good manners.  He said we should build a robot like that to hand out candy at Halloween.  We walked around the store for a while, and he was full of questions and wanted to look at everything.  At Target, he was giving me advice, helping find things, and asking even more questions.  He kept asking for a toy, but he didn't get upset when we walked by the toys and didn't stop.  He was really enjoyable. 

Davianna was playing on the computer today and obviously learned how to create notes.  This one was left on the desktop.

Mirjan cooked a wonderful meal and MArielk came over and joined us. The kids watched a little tv, Davianna sang a while, and then the sleepy eyes started appearing. It was a good day.


Last night, Mirjan and I watched "Extraordinary Measures," and it was really good.  It made me ask myself if I'm doing everything in my power for Ryan.

Father, thank you for blessing Ryan with a good, healthy day.  Thank you for the improved behavior and really good experiences lately.  Thank you for allowing so much normalcy in his life.  I ask that you continue to fill his heart with love, give him comfort, and continue to heal his little body.  In Jesus' name I pray.  Amen.
