Wow! God continues to answer prayers. I truly believe we are coming out of the valley of the shadow of death. It has only happened because of the prayers of so many. Though we are not through for Satan likes to reach in and just give a little pinch to put a little doubt and sadness in our lives. ( as I write I rebuke Satan in Jesus Christ's name) God is truly faithful. Kole has had some tough days but God continues to deliver. Today, Kole slept peacefully and did not experience much discomfort of any kind. He was surrounded by your prayer. I must say I am at much peace knowing that so many people are praying for him. It makes the daily struggles on my family and I so much less. Anyway, Kole felt so good today that he was even telling stories. He ended up eating quite a bit tonight, too. It was not extremely healthy but it was calories. He had Chinese food, some donut, mashed potatoes and corn, and some cookie dough. I was thrilled.
Kole is truly a miracle and he is healed. God promised and he has answered. Kole was in so much discomfort a week ago that he could not even sit on my lap. His neck was so stiff from the tumor that he was unable to move it an inch to either side. He is now able to move his neck freely and he sits on our laps. I have so much love and adoration for the Lord as he puts up with my doubts and lack of trust. He continues to support us and give us hope. I just want to sing praises to his name.
His holy word continues to be our strength. I keep repeating "He will never leave me or forsake me" and he hasn't. I truly believe that God took care of Kole even when I thought he was in pain and I wondered where God was. I realize now that God was always there. I know that without God the pain would not have been tolerable. Instead He would come and take the pain away.

Here is another verse that encouraged me greatly as I began to have doubt. But his word always reaffirmed that God would save him.
Psalm 12:5-6. "Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the Lord "I will protect them from those who malign them." And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.

I know that I cannot go wrong trusting in his word. Through prayer and the Bible we are comforted and we know that Kole is healed.

God Bless and please continue to pray continually. Kole still has a long way to go. He is still incredibly weak. He shakes when he lifts up his arms. He cannot sit up by himself nor can he turn himself over. The devil has covered one of his eyes that makes it difficult for him to see out of. He obviously cannot stand up and his muscles are getting tight for he has not been out of bed for the last two days. He does not use his muscles much other than when he decided to crawl on Monday. I pray also for his attitude. He gets discouraged and frustrated easily. I know he is depressed. He wants to play like his sister and he is not able to. I keep telling him that he will be playing soon but it is hard for a little five year old to look to the future. Heck it is hard for me.

Like I said, I am truly comforted by knowing that so many people are diligently praying for Kole. Please continue to lift us up as your prayer is crucial to Kole and our family. Please continue to pass on the word that Kole Keller needs prayer.

Thank you for your support and comments. It has brought us some needed smiles and inspiration during this time.

God Bless,
