Thanks for all your prayers, we so appreciate them! Little man is doing pretty well. He continues to amaze us. While he is sleeps considerably he also has small bursts of energy where he gets down and runs around, shows us his belly and again hits the baseball. We can't believe he can walk let alone run (a week ago he couldn't walk without help)! He has cuddled with Luke & I, given loads of high fives and every once in a while one can steal a kiss. We are so thankful he's comfortable. Maybe we are watching a miracle or possibly a peaceful passing to eternity... either way we are seeking to trust the Lord~ either way we are thrilled for the smiles, the special times together and are so pleased he is comfortable.It's hard to know what to say...we are waiting, watching, snuggling, praying and waiting more. Yesterday was two weeks... Micah is not quite following protocol, he never has and I'm sure he never will =) We are thankful for that. We feel many of our prayers and yours prayers for mercy and comfort are being answered. Thanks. There is no way to communicate how overwhelmed we are by the continual care and support we are receiving. It is not normal. You all are carrying our burden with us, helping to make it lighter~ weeping with those who weep and one day may we rejoice together, if not here I'm sure in Heaven.
These present sufferings are hard (to say the least). They are things we don't understand, we want to understand, to know why... we have at times felt sad, angry, helpless, distraught ~ all of these responses are real and right granted there comes a time to turn as the Psalmist did and hope and trust in God. Though we don't see and we don't understand, we know God's love for us is real, we know He works all things together for good- though we may not see all if it now. We hold on to what we know to be true. The Lord is faithful and the generations speak of it. His peace and comfort is with us. His promises resonate in our hearts. If our little man leaves this earth he will be with the Saviour, scripture assures us of this. And thanks be to God for the cross. Because Jesus, whom we believe in and live for, died for our sins...we will be together again. Oh for Heaven and Home!
Specific Prayer
* Still praying and hoping for a miracle
* -- That if prolonging Micah's life is not God's plan for our little guy that he would experience no pain, his breathing would be easy and his passing be quick and easy
*Peace for our hearts, that we would not be anxious and our sleep would be peaceful
*For our Braeton
*Our family & friends. This is intensely painful, we are so thankful for our friends & fam- the support you have been. Please pray for comfort and peace for them as well. That we would know God's nearness more than ever before.
Great Updates:
*My troubled dreams have ceased
*Mikes has been eating much better, mainly Cheese Pizza and Chicken Nugget Happy Meals w/ BBQ =) We have been to Mc Donalds like 6-8 times this week! But we are loving seeing him eat!
*Possibility of Seizures - we have since spoke with the doctors and our wonderful Hospice nurse, they are not concerned that Micah will have a seizure but rather think that the shakyness is due to muscle weakness.
All our Love!
Psalm 33:20-22
Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

Your testimony of the Savior and your trust in his plan of happiness is evedent with each word your speak. You and your family are such a strog example of the power of God in his childrens lives even today. I know that the lord hears you and answers prayers. I know that because of the saviors atonement the Lords great mercies are available to us. You are an amazing women and mother. I pray for your strength through this all. I know how exahasting it can be to attend to the needs that are placed on you at this time. I am so gratful that Mikah is doing so well. We pray for you always and my little Katie too. Remember always that God hears and answers his childrens prayers and that you are a child of God. God bless, The Boggs
