Chris,
For some reason, I've been thinking of Nate a lot today. I hope that he is doing well. Please PM me with your address so that I can send a Christmas card to your family. Your faith and strength is an inspiration to me. Please keep us posted on Nate's condition. I continue to pray for you, Eric and the boys.

I posted an update on another thread that Jim started, but thought I should put something here too. Only, I don't really have much to update. The fever has stayed away. We thought the cough was gone, but came back very nasty. He is not gaining any weight. And, we are feeling sort of down about it right now. It's just very hard to see visually. It's breaking our hearts. Because he is so thin right now, it has become uncomfortable for him if we hold him too much. Normally Nate might get crabby at someone if they hold him too long. He will let you know in his way that he wants you to put him down. But this never happens with his Daddy. Daddy can hold Nate for hours and to be truthful, I think that is how Nate sleeps the best. Well, as you can imagine, it was hard for Eric when Nate even fussed at him because he it hurt too much to be messed with. We are just trying to adjust to this "phase" of the illness.

JoanB-- From the directness of your post, it is easy to see you felt compelled to say what you did. I am honored that Nate stirred such passion in you.

Gometros--Thank you for pointing out that words, no matter how innocent, can be hurtful. You are very right in saying this board is not the place to preach religous beliefs. I for one will try to be more sesitive to others. A good Christian would never want to offend someone. Thank you for finding a loving way to point it out.
EVERY one on this board has been kind, supportive and encouraging to my family. There is nothing but a wonderful group of people here, no matter what religous background!

Chris,

You continue to be an incredible inspiration to me and my family. With all you are going through, you found the perfect words to smooth over a delicate situation.

More importantly, we are praying daily for comfort for Nate and strength for you, Eric, and the boys.

May God hold you in the palm of His hand during this difficult time.

Is there another thread on Nate's current status? I have been thinking about him often and am wondering how the Page's are doing...
Dave?

I have been curious how the little guy is doing too. I hope they are too busy with Nate to post here!

We would love to exchange cards with you. PM me with your address and I will send you ours; however, don't feel obligated to return a card. Chris, thank you for sharing your life with us. I am inspired by your wonderful perspective on your family's life. While I can never pretend to know what you are going through, I can learn from your example and apply it to my life every day.
