Prayers have been answered!


Here is Riley after 3 doses of medication for his 'paralyzed stomach.' It has been amazing to watch him come back to health each day. Riley has to eat a minimum of 1800 calories each day. He takes a pill about 30 minutes before he eats a meal. He doesn't have to take meds before a snack. This morning Riley ate 6 pancakes-- this should give you a clue on how much better he is!! He is talking, smiling, laughing, and returning to his old self. We are so grateful to have him back.
Words cannot describe how grateful we are for all of your concern, prayers, and love for Riley. It was nothing less than pure inspiration that the correct test was finally performed that gave us the answers to Riley's problem. Our testimonies of the power of prayer have been multiplied. It is wonderful to be reminded that our Heavenly Father knows us and listens to our prayers. His answer came through immediate promptings to different people. That has reminded us that we need to be diligent in following the promptings of the Spirit.
Welcome back Riley! We missed you!
