Some observations & another Bible verse

Paul taking down some pins a month or so ago.

Paul's last few days have been mostly marked by lethargy. His alert times are fewer and fewer. This is primarily a result of anemia (low red count). With fewer reds comes less oxygenated blood. Less of that leads to a higher heart rate which then leads to a more tired body. He does awaken and request water, but besides that he is content to relax, sleep and have one of us nearby. His little personality does still peek out from time to time where he'll say he loves us or he'll quote a line from Nacho Libre (of all things!). I have also noticed that he has really re-attached himself to his mother in these last few weeks. Some of you may not know this about Paul but from about 18mos. of age to just a few weeks ago, he was a big time "daddy's boy." He preferred I do everything for him. Now, the reverse is true. That is OK with me. God knows what he needs more than I. We enter this world with our mothers as a necessity, and perhaps we leave it the same way. At anyrate, he is sleeping very well at night, still breathing deep breaths, and not dealing with any pain. He seems to be in another womb of sorts and is preparing to be born into another world. A final observation...his mouth doesn't seem to be bothering him as much. Also, the tumor around his forehead is going away. I don't know if this is the tumor dying from lack of blood supply or some miraculous answer to prayer. Let's never forget that God is in control of Paul's life. Keep your prayers rolling forward.

1 Peter 5: 10 - And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
