Connor had his LAST surgery last Thursday and all went well. The doctors said surgery and about 2 weeks later, home! We were very excited. But his recovery has been tough as is his pattern. Praise the Lord he was taken off the ventilator a couple of days ago and his little tummy is finally getting rid of all the air that was put in it for surgery. (It has not been my experience that this is difficult for the male gender, but Connor continues to show us he has his own way of doing things).
A couple of weeks ago, I was visiting Connor with Sara and got to speak with one of the Neonatologists. He acknowledged our frustration over Connor’s digestive issues but marveled over the fact that his eyes are now mature and perfectly normal, his brain is not damaged in any way and is growing and developing normally. There are so many things to be thankful that Connor does not struggle with it would take pages to name them all!
These things and many others have led me to reflections on the goodness of God. He promises to work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes (Romans 8:28). This always seems like a future promise to me. However, if God really is good as His word says then when He looks on His people and sees us clothed in Christ’s righteousness all He does for us can only be good! Not a marshmallow soft good, but a deep, real, strong good based on Christ’s work and God’s character. He is doing this not only for the Kevin Andrew Foster family but for the individuals of this family including for Connor personally. How does God do this for a little baby who has to have everything done for him? By His Spirit of course! By the Holy Spirit I pray not just for Connor’s physical healing but for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in this little guy even now. May he be along the lines of John the Baptist and proclaim from the beginning of his life the greatness of our God. Amen.
