Successful Fasting Day

This blog post is copy-and-pasted from our CaringBridge account (https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/thomaslauer) and published in retrospect.


Today was the day that Thomas has to fast from all food except clear liquids from about 9am (after breakfast) until his surgery tomorrow at 7am.  Thomas did great all day thanks in no small part to all the prayers and many dozens of people who were fasting along with him.


We started the day with a big fancy breakfast of croisant french toast and eggs.  That carried him well for a while and then he tried some chicken broth and popsicle type treats throughout the day.  We kept him busy all day to distract him.  His siblings are so loving and thoughtful. 


We enjoyed a fire in the early evening.  Through the suffering we count our many blessings.
