Below is an update on Grant, the little boy on the bottom right column of my blog. His unknown muscle disease continues to slowly take his life and his time here on earth is coming to a close. Here is an excerpt of his latest update. Please keep him and his precious family in your prayers.
Grant keeps telling us about the angels all around him. He says he sees them even during the day now. Watching him describe them is quite something. Although I do not understand what he is saying, the expression on his face is description enough. He looks at us questioning why we cannot see what he sees. I wish that I could. It must be spectacular. We just tell him, we don't get to see it yet, but tell us what you see. We've put some adjectives and descriptors on his communication machine yesterday so that we can understand what he is saying. Hopefully they will be adequate.
On a positive note, he used his (speech) machine a lot yesterday. He is getting over the frustration that it cannot read his exact thoughts and say them and is now searching through and trying to find the words to express himself. We are so thankful for it, especially as we know our time is short."

I will be praying for Grant and his family. It's so heartbreaking to see parents lose a child. As parents, we would like to take their place and be ill ourselves if we could. We lost a child to death in our church last week. But, God is so faithful to be there to strengthen and comfort!
Thanks for the update.
Thank you for the update. Grant and his family are being lifted up in prayer now.

Brings to mind the old song "Angels Camping All Around Me."
Praying for Grant. :o)
Thank you so much for sharing this Cheryl. For many years, I worked in intensive care - nothing has solidified my belief in the spirit like all those days and nights spent with folks in their final hours. Little Man Grant knows something the world would (does)kill for!
Okay, this is what I get for blogging for hours on end - NANCY!!!!
