All Because of God

After two weeks of being in the hospital, we can visually see the effects of the "tune-up" period. The Doctors said Ben couldn't be doing better! PRAISE THE LORD! Ben's health has never been better. His profuse cough seems to have disappeared, especially in the morning when it was the worst. He is slowly gaining weight. His lungs sound clear. But we still will be monitoring his breathing after extensive activity. One day after he was running around, as a normal 2 year old would do, he was wheezing and seemed to be breathing heavy. The Doctors said that should go away over time but to continue to watch him.

Today at Wheaton Bible Church, my pastor made a point that God uses disappointments to grow us. He also encouraged us to react and respond to obstacles in faith. This is so true! Michelle and Paul have faced a huge trial in their life, but God is using this situation to strengthen them! This diagnosis of cystic fibrosis is not about Benjamin Ferguson, it's about God and how he is going to use this situation to draw us closer to his loving arms.

It is only because of prayer and God's power that we are encouraged Ben is doing so well!

Prayer requests:
-Ben will not return to the hospital ANY time soon and his health will continue to stabilize
-For the whole family to adjust to their normal routines as they return home this Wednesday
-Ben will continued to be free from bacteria which will cause infection in his lungs
-For Michelle and Paul to balance Ben's activity, social life, and protecting his health

Ben pulled out my Bible and was looking at it. Please continue to pray that Ben will develop a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ!
