Good News Again!

Well, Beniah had some very happy parents and grandparents and aunt and uncle today. He is breathing on his own with the ventilator standing by for back up. If his respirations fall below 28 per minute then the ventilator kicks in but he's been doing very well. He opened his eyes a little and responded to Tim when he talked to him. Tim said Beniah cried (obviously not making any sounds) but had tears when he said he was going to go away but then stopped when Tim reassured him that Mommy would stay and that he would send Grandpa. Tim sounded so encouraged when he answered the phone that I almost thought I had the wrong number! He has a machine that vibrates his chest on and off to keep the mucus loose and I guess it really bugs Beniah. He gets all agitated and moves his hands around a lot when it starts up. So exciting! Keep praying. He's still got a long road ahead of him with a lot of downs on it but I guess every good day is just that...a good day and we take them as they come! Prasie the Lord! Tim's brother and sister-in-law arrived there today too so that will be a wonderful encouragement to the Crisco's as well. Tim said to make sure to mention that they are humbled and so encouraged by all of the prayers of brothers and sisters in Christ. He said that it's amazing to see how God is working different things in different people's lives through this whole situation. Tim said the verse that keeps coming to his mind is John 3:27, "John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing except it be given him from heaven.""
