Day 5

Something fantastic happened yesterday. If you have been following my blog, you know that Kyle has been in a rough cycle. These cycles tend to take over suddenly, often with the onset of the full moon, and then after 1 1/2- 2 weeks, end suddenly as well.  It’s as if something takes Kyle and replaces him with another person.  I am not exaggerating here and  those who know Kyle,  are always astounded at the dramatic shift. 

Yesterday started our very rough for Kyle as well as myself. It was looking to me as if this cycle could go on for another week, as there was little improvement after the first week. He didn’t seem to have reached the peak, or most intense part, just yet. 

JoAn, an angel who as cleaned our home for about 20 years, was here for her usual Tuesday clean up after the Nobel’s. She has become a member of our family and knows Kyle well. She is a pray-er so I told her Kyle needed her prayer right now. She went right in to him. Holding his hand, she prayed with him, for him. I let them have their private moment and used that opportunity to take a short break. Afterwards, he sat quietly and JoAn went back to cleaning. 

One hour later, Kyle sauntered out of his room completely recovered. He was not just a little better, he was ALL better!! “His face looks different, is he ok now?” JoAn asked. Yes, Kyle had returned to us with his voracious appetite and beautiful smile. He was most certainly back and ok. 

Coincidence? Prayer answered? I have decided this is not something for me to question. Just thinking about the way this played out, timing and all, gives me goosebumps.

 Grateful, I am.
