Hi all!

I wanted to post things from Blair's baptism.

First - the link to Blair's testimony is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgZQmT8vGfE

He had an amazing day - as did the rest of his family!  We are very proud of him and pleased that he is doing so well.  We continue to pray for complete healing - for Blair's vision, memory, brain, emotions, and everything else!  God knows best what Blair needs!  For now, please pray specifically for his emotions. He has a lot of anxiety and some depression.  We consulted a physician but the medication appears to be increasing his depression.  This is typical in TBI's (Traumatic Brain Injuries) but nothing else he is able to do is typical - so we are praying for his emotional healing too!  God has so much in store for him...
Here are some pictures.

Sorry for the layout - I couldn't figure out how to arrange the pictures any better...

Blair has been improving daily. He is much more stable than he was originally when walking and going up and down stairs.  He is also getting more temperamental - he prefers not to wear his brace... he would prefer to not go to physical therapy but McKenna takes him anyway (as do I).   He would prefer not to do school work but it's only 5 hours a week... so he can be convinced.

McKenna is a great 'companion' (Blair calls her a babysitter) but she does need time off.  Sometimes she has other commitments and can't be here - or can't take Blair to appointments.  So, if anyone has free time during the day - ever - please let me know.  I will put you on my list to call for when McKenna can't take him. 

Also from November 28th - December 7th Blair will be staying in Boiling Springs at his Aunt Lisa's.  He may need some rides to physical therapy from there.  All the other appointments we are going to schedule around that week.

Thanks so much for your prayers!   Blair is so appreciative of his friends and family ... he just loves everyone!
