Please continue in prayer

Daniel still has a lot of challenges. Please keep praying for good rest and sleep, protection from feelings of anxiety and panic, that the abscess would heal and the infection would leave (still on antibiotics). The lower cheek with the abscess is more swollen. Don't know why. Daniel wasn't tolerating his food as well yesterday, and had to stop a few feeds midway through. He needed the anti-anxiety med a few times. It has also been harder for him to take and get full benefit from his primary med, which is topical on his tongue because of swallowing issues. 

All of this is very hard on him and I. It's so hard to see him going through so much. Even his phone is acting up the past few weeks and has been very unreliable in receiving my texts. 

Josiah has had a 102 degree fever for the past few days (don't know why), and so I haven't been able to take the kids for a visit. I wear a mask when I visit Daniel just in case. Kezia didn't tolerate breakfast yesterday at Timberline and threw up all over herself, me, and Josiah during the end of summer service. It's just been so, so hard. 

I'm exhausted with crying out to God for encouragement and healing. Please continue to join with us in lifting Daniel up in continuous and abundant prayer. We so long to see God glorified by delivering him and rescuing our family from this pit. 

God is able, and we need to see Him act in miraculous ways; we desperately need the encouragement. We need to be refreshed. I'm fighting so much anxiety and so many fears. I'm crying out to God even as I write to you.
