His Life For Mine

His heart was broken, mine was mended
He became sin, now I am clean.
The cross He carried bore my burden.
The nails that held Him set me free.

Chorus:
His life for mine, His life for mine
How could it ever be?
That He would die, God’s Son would die
To save a wretch like me.
What love divine, He gave His life for mine.

His scars of suffering brought me healing
He spilled his blood to fill my soul.
His crown of thorns made me royalty
His sorrow gave me joy untold

Chorus:
His life for mine, His life for mine
How could it ever be?
That He would die, God’s Son would die
To save a wretch like me.
What love divine, He gave His life for mine.

Bridge:
He was despised and rejected,
Stripped of His garments and oppressed
I am loved and accepted,
And I wear a robe of righteousness

Chorus:
His life for mine, His life for mine
How could it ever be?
That He would die, God’s Son would die
To save a wretch like me.
What love divine, He gave His life for mine.

Update on Jonathan

Jonathan is doing better. I am only checking his temperature every 2 or 3 days now. He seems to be feeling normal again. He started back to school on Friday of last week. He is still not wanting to drink so we have changed his schedule to only be half days so I can have the afternoon to get him to drink.

On an up note, he should be getting his new wheelchair soon. I am very excited. It is supposed to be about 20 pounds lighter than his current one. I’ll post a picture when we get it.

Update on Jonathan

We took Jonathan up to Scottish Rite yesterday to have his sodium checked. It was normal (146), which is great. This means that even though he isn’t drinking willingly, we are able to give him enough fluids other ways to keep him hydrated and his sodium where it should be. Sooo, as soon as he starts drinking again he can go back to school. They have really missed him and I’m betting that he has missed them.

Update on Jonathan

Jonathan finished his 10 day round of Bactrim this morning. His temp is now running in the low to mid 99s and he seems to feel better. However, he is still not 100% and now is refusing to drink. We are able to force/feed him enough liquid/equivalents that he is staying pretty hydrated, but it’s obviously not the best option. On the upside, it has been 12 days since Jonathan had a seizure.  We are waiting to hear from the doctors what they would like us to do next.

A Poem By Heather

Pictures in the Clouds
by Heather Bartlett

What do I see in the sky?
Clouds! Clouds! Moving slowly by and by.
Wait, I think I see shapes!
A lion, a bear, heroes in boots and capes!
Great big silly clowns,
And lumpy figures with huge frowns!
I see an eagle’s head, so very proud and tall,
Its eyes, though, are very, very small.
I see a reindeer and sleigh,
And Santa coming with his toys to say hey,
A lobster, a parrot, and a great big fish,
I spot a cup, a spoon, and a round little dish.
Do you see it too?
It’s a huge kangaroo!
What is that I spy?
It is lighting up the sky!
A flying saucer coming near,
It’s coming over here!
Look! A martian! He is so cute!
I think he is maybe mute!
He doesn’t make a peep,
Oops! I fell asleep!
