September 29th - Day 41, 11:15 pm
posted on 09/29/2007

We have had a wonderful day - please see the photos for pics of Bennett off CPAP and enjoying some time with Grammie and Daddy.

We have so much to be thankful for today.  Bennett is off the CPAP and loving life on the nasal cannula.  His blood gases were drawn tonight at 8 pm and they were at the best levels EVER - praise God!  They are not going to do a lung x-ray at this point because all signs show that his lungs are liking the nasal cannula. 

We really feel like we are in a constant state of thanksgiving today.  We were just talking about the Bible story of Noah and the ark......it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and then the rain stopped.  We can't help but notice that today is day 41 of our journey and it has been an awesome day of sunshine, continued miracles, healing, and renewal.

We will post more updates tomorrow, but for now we just stop once more to say thank you for ALL your prayers for our son, thank you for all the words of encouragement, and thank you for your faith.

Love,

Kelly, Travis & Bennett

The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 We believe that our Lord has a plan for Bennett that we only glimpse at in this time frame. Our prayers will continue for the healing of Bennett and thru our faith we know that our prayers will continue to be answered.We ask that not our will but that His will be done in all things, and that He continue to show us thru Bennett the miracles that He is so capable of performing. We give to God the praise and glory for all things. We know that every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 We are so happy to see the pictures of Bennett surrounded with lots of love from his mommy and daddy and his grammie. He is a well loved little boy.

Hi Speck family...I am filled with so much joy that I am moved to tears right now. I can't tell you how much it means to me for you to share this journey with all of us. Bennett's life continues to strengthen my faith! I was just thinking about the 40 days today and it is just wonderful! I love the new pics too! Have a great night...we love you!

All of the news of this day is just so, so wonderful and his new little pictures are just the sweetest. Grammie looks quite proud of her little fella. What an emotional moment she must have felt! Bennett appears to have the typical growing number of little furry friends in his crib!! Just wait that number will grow as does the size of the furry companion. FUN! It has been a day to be tremendously thankful for and one you so deserved to experience. We are thankful for answered prayers and we will continue to pray and praise. May this be a night of peace and comfort for all. Our love and prayers

Praise God. The pictures are amazing to see. He is one cute kid. I love the reference to Noah. No matter where the road of life has led you, you have followed with unfailing faith. God has blessed you all for this and will continue on the days to come. God bless each and every one of you.
