"... When There Seems To Be No Way"

For all who are journeying with and praying for Levi (and his mum and dad), an update straight from mum:

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

God is so good... He answers prayer!
Neurosurgeon came in this morning ‎and was encouraged to hear Levi's improvement over the weekend and the fact that he is down to once a day taps. She felt his head and thought that it might be a bit better, but certainly not worse. Then she said " I think that we can hold off on surgery and see what he does given his progression... maybe he'll be able to go another 5 weeks eventually without a tap. Also, there's a kiddo who came in over the weekend with a brain tumour and we need to use Levi's OR time for that case." Are you kidding me??  The answer's clear, no doubt whatsoever... no decision to be made today by Jonathan and me!! We thank Jesus, and pray for this little one and family who do need urgent surgery.
Then the neurosurgery nurse practitioner came in‎ and thought that his head felt a "bit better." His head circumference is stable from yesterday and he has improved overall. She suggested that we wait even on the tap today - can be reassessed at anytime according to what Levi tells us. Will likely tap at least tomorrow regardless and then repeat  a fast MRI on Wednesday.
She is completely stumped saying "What's going on kiddo, I don't get you but I could almost be ‎happy excited... almost!" I told her what I know is going on.. that God is answering prayer - the prayer of people across this globe who belong to the beautiful family of God. She wasn't sure what to think of that, but said "whatever you're doing, keep doing it."
So... no meeting this afternoon, Levi will be reassessed ‎regularly for taps and have an MRI this week and we keep trusting in the One who is altogether trustworthy. The days ahead are unsure, but we are so very grateful for this clear answer.
Also, his cultures for virus,etc on his brain fluid all came back clear.
Thank you Wonderful Father.
Thank each of you and family of God.
Our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude!

J, D and Levi ‎(who had 5 pokes this AM for an IV that they couldn't get, and now we don't need it!)

So much gratitude, to God and to all of you who are praying for our boy. He's not out of the dark yet, but each step forward is one step closer to the dawn.

It reminds me of the song, "God can make a way when there seems to be no way ..." We don't know how He's working; but we see Levi and know that He is.
