Simple Gratitude

Today was a rest day for Andrew. He had a good day. His numbers look good. Randall got him to open his eyes and respond to a few questions with a nod. He also moved his legs and arm. Randall asked him if he knew that he is getting better every day? He nodded yes. They are taking him off of a couple of the harder drugs that he was on. He looks very good. We are so happy to be headed in the right direction. Andrew has become the "wonder" boy in the PICU. It seems that everyone knows about him. Wherever we go we receive good wishes for him. Once again we must thank our family, neighbors and others who have given us help in our time of need. There is power in prayer. My sister, Linda, told me to try a gratitude prayer. To do this you don't ask for anything. She indicated that you really have to concentrate. It is easy to ask for things like a kid in a candy shop. I'm sure that Heavenly Father, like any parent, appreciates hearing what we are thankful for. We have so much to be thankful for. Today, I noticed how wonderful the sunshine was as it streamed into Andrew's room. A simple thing, yet important.
