Brayden is improving everyday!

Day 2

Day 4

Brayden is improving every day! He has been really hard to keep still. Infact on Friday he was sat in time out because he was running around our house with a box on his head!   I was very afraid that he may possibly run into a wall!  Earlier Friday afternoon Brayden was able to go to school for an hour and visit his class during grandparents day.   Yesterday we went for a drive and he was feeling sick to his tummy.  But, today we were able to go for a good 30 minutes drive in the car and he was fine. Every day he is getting stronger.  We had a bit of the cries today and he hasn't been able to go to sleep since the accident without being held to go to sleep.  When we put him to bed, he cries that his eye might explode, or he comes out saying his head hurts. I think the laying down flat make his blood go to his head or something or its just a good excuse for him to not have to go to bed. But, he usually comes out and within 4 minutes of sitting on the couch is sound asleep.   He has lost his ability to sleep through the night without wetting the bed! This is very disappointing as we had worked so hard on that and it has been almost 2 months since an accident at night. And, we have had one every night!!!  Today is the first day  that he woke and could open his eye straight away.  And, it is really starting to turn some cool colours! We are so greatful to everyone who has been praying   We are so thankful for an awesome team, like you!  God has definitely touched his life in a miraculous way!



Day 5 sleeping!

Practical Completion Inspection

Today was the day we have been waiting for, for 10 months! We were able to walk through what will be the new parsonage.   Everything was complete except for caulking in all of the wet areas( bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen.)  the house looks great and it is so exciting that in 2 weeks we will be coming in and starting the painting.  Everything has really started to flow together.   We will receive the keys on the 7th of November.  On the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th, we will be super busy painting.  The church is having a parsonage pizza painting party for 4 days!  Then on the 11th the tiler will come in and tile 135 square metres of floor. After that, the carpet will arrive and get laid. and, the goal is by the 20th, to be moving in. :) Here are a few pictures I took today.

Please pray that the house does not get broken into between now and when we get to move in..

Please pray that our tiler will show up on time and not be delayed at a previous job.

Please pray that the church will be able to do a good paint job and that we will do it at a proper painter quality!  All of the walls will need to be sealed, primed, and then painted.  So, we have a lot of work. There are 5 bedrooms, two kitchens, three bathrooms, and hallways, and 2 living rooms.  So, we definitely have our work cut out for us.

Please also pray that we would find a renter for the section of the house that is a "granny flat".   The church could only afford to build if we were able to rent out a portion of the house.  So, we need to find a renter or someone who can come help us serve at the church and live in the apartment.

Final house inspection!!!

Today October 24th at 9:30 in the morning we are having our final house inspection on the new property!!  We are very excited and will post pictures. Please pray that we would be able to find out how soon we can get the keys. We are hoping sooner than later. Sometimes they make you wait up to 2 weeks to get the keys. But, we currently have to move out of the house we are in. So are hoping... Sooner than later. But, as soon as we get the keys we have to paint the entire house, tile the main walking areas 140 square meters and carpet the bedrooms. So we still have at least 1-2 weeks of work to do on the house. So please pray this morning that they are willing to do handover soon. We also don't want the house to get broken into again. And last night they did the final fit out and installed the water heater, dishwasher, oven, shower walls and taps and door handles at the last minute because they were afraid of us getting broken into again. Because our house was broken into by an employee.. They had a key... So please pray for this to be a smooth handover. :)  we are so appreciative of your prayers!!  God is moving here. And this house, is a huge sign of it!!!

Brayden is okay!!

Last night at 6:45 after a baseball game... Brayden gave us the biggest scare ever. We were behind the car talking with friends and putting stuff into out trunk when we told the kids to get in the car.  Almost instantly we heard heard a bang and turned around and Brayden apparently had been on top of the car, because he threw his bear up there, and when he was climbing down the door swung open and he went head first into the pavement with no hands down. He was out cold for a about 5 minutes and unresponsive and limp. We asked everyone to start praying immediately on Facebook and through a text to the church. He went immediately into the ER and into trauma bed 1. And the drs were very concerned. Slowly he started to move his eyes and then his limbs and within 25 minutes was saying owie and wimpering. But, never full out cried. They did a head ct scan and took over, "i was amazed at this", 200 images of his brain and looked it all over. He is very lucky... There is no damage. I thank you all for your prayers!!   Because this situation could have looked very different. So thankful we serve a really big God!!! And so thankful we have a team of people who always are praying for us!! He has a huge lump on his left temple, and lost part of his eyebrow. He is not  allowed to do any playing activity for a week!! So, that will be interesting to control, but , amazingly he is okay. The only thing he can't remember is what happened to him.  :)

Please pray for Brayden

Brayden fell tonight and banged his left forhead on the cement and knocked himself unconscious for 5 minutes. Please pray for him as he was rushed to the ER and they are awaiting a ct scan.  He is doing alright now and is stable and responsive and putting sentences together. They just want to make sure he hasn't fractured his skull.  Thank you for your prayers.

Diabetes Walk

Today, is the first time in 9 years we are doing something to appreciate Chris and all he does here as the pastor of the Landsdale community Wesleyan MEthodist Church.  We are walking in the walk to cure diabetes.  I would really appreciate it if our prayer partners and friends and family would "bomb" chris with notes of encouragement, love, care, and friendship!   He works hard every day here in Austrlaia and never asks for anything in return, ever.  He is the most caring and supportive, and giving person I know... He is always going the extra mile to make sure people hear and know about Jesus and is always going the extra mile to make sure our family is looked after.   But, he has type 1 diabetes. He will always live with this and I would like us to just encourage him today if we can!   His email address is snickergeorge24@msn.com,  So, you can facebook him, message him, and fill his email inbox with emails.  I think it would mean the world to him!   this morning 13 people from our chuch and 5 from our family will be joining us to walk 7.5 km.  Even brayden will be doing it, to support our pastor, father, and friend!  I hope you will join us and "bomb" him with encouragement!!!!
