Smiles for the progress, tears because it must be so hard on you as parents to see him go through the hard work of recovery. To see him being sad when you leave the room, to see him be so thirsty, the physical pain of the little setbacks, etc. That must take a lot out of you two - I hope you are both doing ok. I guess seeing him make progress every day kind of "fills" you back up, doesn't it? Glad he is such a determined,brave,and strong little guy! We think of Carson and Cody too - hope they are hanging in there. Glad they can be there this week.

God has such great plans for little Clay and this family... you may never know in this lifetime how encouraged so many are through watching God work in this situation! It has encouraged me so in my faith... We pray for Clay everyday... My boys Will (8) and Jesse(5) always mention Clay when they pray at the table too! The faith of a child! You know Jesse's burns were not as much of his body, but he remembers the whole experience just the same!! It is so powerful to hear him say "And help Clay with his burns, in Jesus name"... We continue to lift you up and believe with you for complete healing!!! We will specificly pray for the hand, head and face you mentioned!! God bless you Fite family!
