isaiah walks








Isaiah said this morning that he wanted to try to walk. (He's been in bed for 11 days.) When I told him it was so good to see him on his feet, he asked, "Does it make your heart happy?" I said, "Yes. Very happy."






(Thanks for praying for him yesterday...he did great through all his tests and chemo. We'll hear results on Monday. )

Hi Isaiah,
This is Tough Guy Kyler and I saw how brave you were in getting your port accessed! I was scared a lot when I got my port accessed, but I'm better now. You should be called "Incredible Isaiah"!

Have you met Millie and Hazel the hospital dogs yet?
They are fun to pet. I hope we can come visit sometime!
Love,
Kyler

Hi Isaiah,

I'm glad to see you are up and walking. I bet it felt great to get out of bed for awhile.

I'm praying for you and your mom, dad and sis too throughout the day each day. Mrs. Coder and Mr. Coder are praying too. God is holding you in his arms just like your mom and dad hug you.

We love all of you!

Isaiah!! You are such a strong boy!
You are being such a great example to me and everyone you know... Your strength and faith in Jesus makes me cry, because you are such a trooper!
I haven't seen you in a long time, and I miss you a lot, but hopefully we can have a hug later this summer when you're feeling better! What do you think? I'm praying hard for you and your mommy and daddy and Sienna too, and so are all of my friends and my family!! That is a lot of prayers sent up to God just for you!
It's great to see you walking! You're being so brave!! And you're making a lot of hearts happy, Isaiah. I'm praying for those results on Monday!!

And Sienna, keep being that AMAZING big, brave sister that I know you are!! Isaiah sure is blessed to have a girl like you by his side making him smile=)

Isaiah,

Hey there big guy... the boys were so excited today about making some cards for you in church. You should be getting them soon. We sang "Fishers of Men" in class today, and I started teaching your class a new song called "My God is SOOO Big!" It's a song that says that there's NOTHING too big for God to handle. I know you will like this one because there are lots of cool hand motions that go with it, and you even get to make BIG muscle arms! :)
We are saying some really special prayers for good news tomorrow, Isaiah. We know you are in God's arms, and we hope that you can especially feel how big and loving those arms are tonight as you go to sleep.

XXX,

Jason, Tami, Lucas, Colby and Caleb

PS. It was good to see your daddy and sister today in church. Give your mommy a hug for us though, okay?

Isaiah....we can see Jesus through your attitude. Pretty cool when God is on your side, huh?
It is so good to see you smile. We are praying for your healing and for your family.

You are absolutely amazing! What fabulous parents to have on the dark days...and the bright days. Yay for Isaiah getting up and about! There isn't a day that passes when you aren't thought about. I pray that God continues to give you immense strength on this journey.

Miss Sienna,

Sadie tells me you are the absolute best at making your brother smile. Keep the up the good work, and good job at being such an amazing big sister.

Love,
Torrey
