Erika
As a mom of an adult special needs young man, (My Eric, who has Cerebral Palsy is now 34)my heart was truly touched by your story. As Evan grows he'll know how special he is and God will give you the right words because HE gave Evan to you in the first place. You are a special, blessed mom.

Dear Erika,
Thank you for sharing these words; I will pray that Evan's heart will be open to accept healing or not healing. He's such a smartie and understands so much; he has so much perception! Your family is beautiful and again I am so blessed to be walking this road with you - God knew that I would need you and vice versa.
Love, Carrie :)

Congratulations on the new addition to the family, Erika and Carl. I hope Evan is more enthusiastic about his little sister by now. We've been out of state and I just read the news. May all go well as Evan and Andrew adjust to being big brothers, and baby sister settles in with the family.

Dear Carl, Erika, Evan and Andrew,
We haven't checked your caring bridge page for awhile, so
it was such fun to see new pictures of your house and your
handsome sons!! We pray for you often and continue to enjoy having Carl's parents nearby. They were just over
for dinner the other night. Allan helped us with some
electrical work in our new condo. As always, we enjoyed
being with them. Your whole family seems in a state of
change with new homes being built, etc. God bless you
all as you celebrate Christmas and into the New Year!!
With love and prayers, Dennis and Judy

Hey Weise's,
The T.V. segment for the MDA telethon was excellent. Evan, you did such a great job. Of course the story that they did when they came to your house made me cry, since we know first hand what you go through every day - Evan you're such a trooper, and you and your mommy and daddy glorify God every day in how they live!! Great job - Praise to God for giving us each other.

Hi there Mr. Evan and Mr. Andy- Looks like you have a nice friend from ABC Evan. Are you going to watch yourself on TV on Labor Day? Your new house is being built very quickly- we hope we can come and see it and you before long. We talked with two parties today that still have some interest in buying our house here so we can move to Akron. We keep praying for all of you. You would have laughed this morning to watch Baxter try to sneak up on a rabbit in the back yard this morning. The rabbit was too fast and ran away.Love Grandpa Weise

We are pretty certain that is what she has and are going through some tough decisions right now so it is nice to find someone else who is going through the same thing. Here is my email address, i would like to get in contact with you when you have time, believe me I know how busy you are when you have a child with extra needs.

Unfortunately God, our Ultimate Parent, has plans that we can't see RIGHT NOW, when we want answers and then sometimes we don't understand what is right in front of us. We can only trust His plans. Know you have many out here praying. I did tell LOGOS Class about your concerns on Sunday too.

Keep trusting Jesus to take good care of you...just for today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. We are excited that Ann & Aaron are moving to Akron. That means we may get to see YOU more often. We send you our love.
Aunt Jean, Uncle Dave, and Julie

Dear Erika, Carl, Evan and Andrew,
You are surely in our thoughts and prayers!! When we wake up in the middle of the night our first prayer is that all of you are sound asleep! We enjoyed hearing about Evan's delight in using his rapidly developing language skills, constantly! It is as if he is thanking God, constantly! We rejoice with all of you! Thank you for all that you do to keep us in touch!! Love, Aunt Trish, Uncle Steve and All

Hi Evan
Good to hear that you were teasing your nurse a little last week. All good nurses need a little levity in their daily routine. We hope you are getting a new night nurse soon and that your teachers at preschool will still have something left to teach you that you don't already know. Today I told one of our HCJB doctors from Ecuador who was here today, about your diaphragm working some again. He was so glad to hear that and said that we both know that God is working, even if some other doctors might just say "it's just happening". Love Grandpa Weise

Good for you for taking a "dip" in the lake! We were told that David shouldn't swim either when he had his seizure disorder but with close monitoring it was fine and he loved it! (Shh, don't tell his former neurologist either!)

Sorry to hear Evan has a cold, hopefully it will pass quickly. Glad to hear he is getting out and about more...w/ some special time w/ daddy! He is definitely going to have challenges along the way, however Evan is a very smart and strong young boy. He also has a great family and support network to count on. I have faith he will make it through the challenges he faces, and it will only make him that much stronger! We'll have to plan a get together again soon.

Dear Carl, Erika and boys,
Thank you for sharing you thoughts on the what is really important during this Christmas season and how right you are! So much of this season revolves around the superficial and the temporary, but what we should be celebrating is the extreme eternal significance of Christ's birth. I pray that the Lord blesses you with an extreme peace throughout the next days and also extreme joy as you spend Christmas at home with your boys. Rich Blessings to you all, Love, Cheryl and family

Sorry to hear you are both having some sickness. You sure sounded good on the phone last night when you call on the phone Evan.

I am your mom's neighbor. Although I do not know you, your story is very familiar. I am so happy to hear/read of Evan's progress. I hope to meet you and your family if you ever get to Springfield. We also attend the Miracle for Madison event every year in Columbus. Have you ever gone to that event?
Anyway, It is so strange that your Mom and I are neighbors. I do believe that it is more than a coincidence! Mysterious!
You are in our prayers.

It was great to finally meet you in LOGOS a few weeks ago. I check Evan's wesite often. It is really neat to read that Evan is trying to sample food. I'm sure you are really excited. I have my list of CaringBridge Websites I check at least weekly. I've got "my kids" I check on along with our Grandson's. The more kids I meet or get to know through Ray I just add those on the list. Know you and your family are in our prayers.

It was so good to see your pretty face at Logos on Sunday and to meet Andrew, even though it was too brief! I'm looking forward to our visit next week, especially anxious to meet Evan in person.
You and your "men" are always in my prayers.

Dear Carl, Erika and family, It is now Sunday evening and I am just now reading your request for prayer, so by now,hopefully things are better but I will pray (as I'm heading off to bed myself) that you get the rest you need and that Evan begins to feel better. I always go to Evan's page, but Fri. and Sat. I wasn't on the computer at all, so did not see you urgent request. After working night shift for 24 years, I know that a lack of sleep can make molehills SEEM like mountains. I pray God grants you the needed rest.

Evan, you are an amazing little boy and so very smart for your age. You all are an inspiration to us. We know that God has a special plan for Evan. Thank you for your wise words, Carl on Sunday.

Erika,
Good for you! When our David had his seizure disorder a doctor told us he should not be allowed to swim. He had already been in pools (and the Mississippi River)! So I told the doctor that we would ensure that an adult was always watching him in addition to the lifeguard and continued to let him love the water.

Indianapolis, IN USA - Wednesday, July 20, 2005 7:44 PM CDT
Hi Evan:
Your pictures look like you enjoyed the parade. Tell your Mom and Dad to talk plainer-- earrings and airplanes are not quite the same. They sound like a couple who served me a special cheesecake last weekend when I visited them. When the wife brought it to the table, I thought the man told his wife that we needed some sherry topping for it. When she brought it to the table I was relieved to find out I had misunderstood his heavy Swedish accent-- he meant cherry topping.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you soon on our trips to NY. You will meet lots of new relatives and get to see where your Dad grew up, as well as your cousins from Columbus. We enjoyed hearing you say hello and that you love us last weekend on the phone. Good job!
Loads of love,
Grandpa Weise

I love the new pictures...especially the "Tummy Time!!". Glad to hear all is well with the baby and that he/she is faced the right way and weighing in well!

Hello all,
So good to hear that the baby is now "headed in the right direction"! As I used to tell you Carl, I'm sure it all "just happened". Evan-- keep up the good work on eating by mouth- it's really the way to go! You'd better show off now, because a new star is about to make an appearance, though I bet you will still be able to hold your own.

Dear Carl and Erika,
It was SO GOOD to read of Evan's increased interest in eating by mouth, especially in that I for one felt led to pray about that specifically just recently. It will be wonderful when he can be off the feeding tube entirely! We will pray to that end. You two are doing such a great job in your care of our little trooper. Love, Mom Weise

We hadn't checked out your website until today, but thank you for creating such a powerful tool of information and testimony. I will be forwarding this website on to our friends, so if you start getting e-mails from some unrecognized people, that may be why.

Hello to the Weise Family....We have not visited your web page in quite a while and noticed that there were no entries from Clymer, NY. I just wanted you to know that the folks back in Carl's home town are still thinking about you. Your name appears frequently in community Bible studies and is well known at Necker's Company!!!!!

Hey Erika,
That is so funny that Evan is calling you Mi-Mi. . .Maybe he is just hinting that he wants his hair stylist "Mimi" to come over:) I think that you guys do such a wonderful job of making Evan feel special. I'm sure he just feels honored to have you as parents. . .that in itself lets him know how truly special he is.
take care,
Mimi

Hello Erika - Thank you for your email. I wanted to sign your guestbook even though I will answer the email also. Evan is adorable. You have such strength and (seemingly?) peace. Regardless, you are handling this in an amazing way. Our God is a HUGE God. I pray that he will heal our gorgeous little boys.

Erika,Carl,Evan,
It was great to get an update on how things are going. Sounds as though Evan has really become quit the little guy. I will pray that you will find what will work with him when the new baby arrives. That is always an adjustment .
He is growing so nicely. He is a doll. I just love those little chubby cheeks.
Take care

Hi there Evan, Erika and Carl. It has been a little while, I should probably come visit again soon. Evan is getting so big and is still as cute as ever! The ultrasound pictures are amazing!..and again Congratulations. I'm glad to hear you are finally beginning to receive some answers to the questions you've been asking for a long time. I think it would be great if you, as a family, were picked for the doctor's research study. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers and will plan to visit again soon. Give Evan hugs and kisses for me!!

Hi Evan, Erika, and Carl,
Haven't said hello on this site for a while. It sounds like you are building up your supply of spizerinktum quite nicely, as all boys should. Are you liking to taste food any better these days? If not tell your mom to put a little salt on those carrots- they'll taste a lot better-- or else have her buy some good pudding. We wish we lived closer.
Love,
Grandpa W.

How delightful to hear of Evan's fun and mischieviousness! Sounds like he is having a great time keeping his parents a little off keel but very amused. What a delightful little guy he is! Seems to me I remember hearing some similar type stories about his maternal grandfather when he was his age.

We will be praying for Kevin & Erin - and for an opportunity for you to minister to them. In light of their story, it's so much easier to let go of the unanswered "why" concerning Evan, and instead think about the blessing that he truly is to you. Merry Christmas.

Hi Evan, I just heard about you from a friend, and I have come to visit you at your web page. I will pray for your healing, Evan, and that God's Holy Angels will surround you, minister to you and protect you. God's Word is true, and He said that you have already been healed by the stripes of Christ Jesus, our Beloved Lord and Savior, {Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24; and in Matthew 18:19 God's word says that if two [or more]of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven}, and that is good enough for me and you to stand upon. With so many people praying and believing God to perform His Word, it is sure to happen. I pray God to bless you sweetheart, abundantly, in Jesus Name.

Dear Carl,Erika and Evan,
I was sorry to hear about Evan's problems this past weekend. My mother told me just after church yesterday. I talked with Mary Jane and she said that your tests were normal and you would probably be able to come home in a few hours. Praise God that you are doing better!! I will pray that they are able to find an agreeable formula for Evan and that he will again be feeling more like himself. I will pray specifically that you will both get the rest you need and continue to feel God's strength and comfort, now more than ever.

Dear Evan, Your Daddy works with us & is such a good and nice man. Now I know why after seeing you. I have 4 kids and I'm not sure any of them are as happy as you. Just seeing your picture makes my heart smile. I can't imagine how happy you make your Mommy & Daddy when they get to see you every day! I know that in God's eyes you are perfect, but I hope & pray he helps you to be the "perfect" that we humans have come to desire. Thank you for making my day happy. I look forward to meeting you some day.

Erika, Carl and my baby Evan;
I am so very sorry to hear about your denial for Medicaid, I don't think that's right at all. That makes me so angry and frustrated. I also hope that you will finally get some answers when you meet with the specialist. I will be thinking of you and please feel free to call on me if you need anything at all!!! I truly mean it. I miss him so much, but I'm so glad he is doing well. He is a very cute and smart little guy. I know you are both so good at it, but continue to stay positive. You definitely have one of the strongest fighters I know. He is a great little guy. I wish you all the best and will hopefully be able to see you all very soon. Please give him big hugs and kisses for me. You two also deserve a very big hug!!

Praise God for your faith, Erika, in the face of very aggravating circumstances and not a very nice or helpful judge! We are remembering the judge in the New Testament who threw up his hands and gave in to the persistent woman. We are praying with you for endurance and a quick and happy conclusion! Perhaps God is using you for the benefit of the judge and some others here. He sure is asking a lot of you but you will never be sorry you trusted in Him. He will repay you a thousandfold! God Bless!

Hi Folks,
Thank you so much for the birthday card update. Ed and I are so thankful for your faith, it truly is an inspiration for all of us. Evan is a doll, all my babies had chubby cheeks so I especially enjoy those. I'am sure he needs the extra surface area on his face for the kisses that keep coming. Right Erika!! Ed and I will be praying for the new blood work and also as always for the 3 of you, Carl, we think of your family often and know that Evan is a gift from God. With lots of love, Ed, Esther, and our youngsters. You are always in our prayers, Erika thanks for taking the time to keep us informed through this site, I don't always leave a message but we check on him alot. We love the pictures. Sometimes you just need to know that you are doing a great thing and this is part of it.

I pray that the Lord will continue to give you peace and strength for each day. We still hope we may be able to come and meet Evan some day-maybe before the snow flies.

Carl, Erika, (and Evan),
Just a note to let you know we continue to pray for you and to let you know that folks here often ask about you and to let me know they are praying for you. We attended Moody Church last Sunday and were so encouraged by the service--"like church should be". The music and congregational singing was so good and the pastor shared a great sermon about Christ walking to the disciples on the water followed by Peter asking if he could also walk to Christ. We know he ended up doing this by faith, in the midst of the storm they were in. The pastor mentioned that though the disciples found themselves in a storm, they had been directed to cross the lake by the Lord himself, so that he could show them in a new way who He really was, by showing his power over the forces of creation, and that we and our circumstances are always in His eye and mind.(I'm sure that Jesus didn't have to hunt around the Sea of Galilee in the darkness to find them, as he knew exactly where they were all the time.) MJ bought a copy to share with you sometime. You've already heard from a new praying friend who she met while waiting to buy the tape. Stay encouraged! Ps 91:1 Love Dad Weise
Allan Weise <aweise@surfbest.net>
Elkhart, IN USA - Tuesday, September 7, 2004 7:49 PM CDT
To Evan's Parents,
The Lord blessed me this past Sunday as I was visiting Moody Memorial Church in Chicago. After hearing one of the best sermon's I've ever heard delivered by Dr. Erwin Lutzer entitled "Hope in Times of Trouble", I met Evan's grandmother standing in line waiting to purchase a cassette tape. This dear, gentle, caring woman told me some of what you have been going through. My heart was so touched as I have been through similar trials having lost both of my sisters a few years ago, one from cancer and one from a severe form of juvenile diabetes. Know that you are in my prayers and in my families' prayers. We are praying for a miracle, for a cure, and for a complete recovery. I am confident that God will give you the strength to endure this trial. Take comfort, dear friends, that God is at work and knows exactly what you need, even if turns out to not be what you want. I found and continue to find great comfort in James 1:2-4, 12.
May God Bless Precious Evan and Your Entire Family,
In Christ,
Dan Isacksen

Evan- we want to remind you that we're continuing to pray daily for you. I also pray for you when I'm awakened during the night and early morning hours- I pray that you'll be resting well. We'll specifically pray for your test on the 11th and trust the LORD for his intervention in your little life!

Hello Evan!!
I work with your Daddy, but in the Upper Arlington office.
I wanted to wish you a belated Happy Happy Birthday and let you know I will be praying for you each day and especially on August 11th.
I was lucky enough to see your letter on our office printer (yes, I snooped when I saw the beautiful little boy) and could not help but to check out your website. I hope you don't mind....
You are one very lucky little boy. You have so many people that love you so much and hold you and your parents so close to their hearts.
I will be checking back to see your sweet little face and read the new entries on how you are doing.
Heather :)

Dear Evan, Carl and Erika,
Hey little guy, I'll bet you're taking everything in with those big beautiful dark eyes of yours with your "new view" in your van! The Lord obviously knew exactly the van you needed and saw that you got it. But then He always knows exactly what we need, doesn't HE? We love you all and continue to pray for you. Give Evan a kiss and a big hug from all of us here in Panama. We would still like to come and meet you Evan and oh, of course, we'd enjoy seeing your parents too.

Erika, That was a beautiful tribute to Carl! Yes, Evan truely is blessed not only with a wonderful dad, but an equally wonderful mother. Thank you for sharing that essay. It was really heartwarming. We are praying for Evan's legs and thanking God for the good vent trials. We will persist in our prayers on his and your behalf. Jerimiah 33:3 "Call upon Me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not." That's a promise and it is positive no matter what the outcome. God has our little grandson in His hands. We'll pray for another good night of sleep tonight for all of you. Love you all............Mom Weise

The Maryland Olins and friends have been so encouraged by Evan's progress in breathing on his own! Praise the Lord for His grace and love! We are now praying that those leg muscles will soon catch up - your 9-month-old cousin Amber is not walking yet either, Evan, but she's looking forward to the time when the two of you can run and play together all the day long. Happy Father's Day, Carl! You have a wonderful son. Love, Uncle Steve and Aunt Trish!

Hi Evan, Carl and Erika
We've just enjoyed a visit by Eric, Jill and kids and they had supper here with us. Sounds you are growing a strong set of breathing muscles Evan--- 37 minutes---great and PTL! Glad you have the generator for a little peace of mind and backup. If you haven't called the Electic Co., I think I would, just to inquire what the power outages were caused by(maintainence or accident?) and tell them why you're inquiring. I think that your generator will run up to about 8-10 hrs on 5 gal of gas if you ever had a long outage. We love you all-- keep up the great work.

How encouraging to hear about your vent trials going so well! I'll bet you love getting in your exersaucer too. We would love to come and see you some weekend. Wish you could all be here this weekend for the wedding. It would seem that the Lord again provides direct evidence of his watchcare over all of you with the timing of the power outage and Carl waking up. Give Evan a hug from us. Keeping you in our prayers, Love Bob, Cheryl, Ash and Greg

Greetings to you dear people in Columbus! I look forward daily reading the reports on Evan on the internet. Evan's mom sure does a great job sharing and we appreciate it so much. Thank you for giving us glimpses into your lives. I think learning the sign language will be so beneficial. I know there are "signing videos" for children on the market--I am sorry I don't know the exact names of the videos.
When I read these great reports, I am reminded again and again of the chorus Pastor Ashton taught the TWR staff on Bonaire years ago--"One Step More--Lord, give me grace for one step more!"
You folks continue in our prayers!

HI Carl & Erika,
This is the first time I have had the chance to see the web site. I so appreciate the journaling that you do. It is interesting that you used the passage from II Cor. This passage was brought to my attention this very week. After reading it, I thought so much about you. II Cor. 4 also hit home with me in reguard to Evan. We love him and we love you! You are in our prayers daily.

I will continue to keep you guys in my prayers and remain confident that God will do something wonderful - I mean, continue doing wonderful things. The impact of this situation, and the encouragement Evan's story has provided to so many already evidences the gravity of God's grace thus far.

Erika, Carl & Evan,
Erika, I met you as a young girl and have not seen you since, but have kept up with your life through your Aunt Pam & Uncle Bob in Indiana. Pam told me about your struggles, challenges and faith with Evan. I will pass on your story to people I know so that the prayer chain gets stronger and stronger.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, otherwise I wouldn't have had an opportunity to let you know I care and am praying for you.
Remember always ... Even though we sometimes don't agree with Him, God never gives us more than we can handle.

Please know that we continue to pray you, your nurses, doctors and the people you deal with at the insurance companies on a daily basis. If you need anything please don't hesitate to let me know. What a blessing you are Evan!

Dear Erika, Carl & Evan,
It was wonderful to visit you last week with Mom. We were blessed by Evan's joy and his wonderful sense of humor (blinking before the camera flash!). God is touching and softening many hearts through Evan and your abiding love and trust. There are many here in Maryland praying for you. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. God is good!
Love, Uncle Steve and Aunt Trish

C&E,
Good to talk with you again last night - we must have hung up shortly before you received the news regarding Medicaid. We will be certain to add this to our personal prayer list and also that of our SS class. Just visited your web page for the first time - I was struck by how much Evan is resembling Carl. Give him a squeeze for me. -Tom

Carl and Erika,
What a beautiful boy. I'm sorry that I've not yet had the pleasure of meeting him. Everyone who has met him reports that he is a tremendously charming young man(I suspect he gets it from both sides of the family).
Love To All,

I continue to pray for you all. My prayer is twofold...praise to our Father for His grace towards you which can be carved so deeply into your hearts without even knowing it at times and without even having to ask for it. :) And for you all...to daily know this grace in tangible ways so that you can cling to the hope that is found in His kindgom plans and His lovingkindness -even when questions abound. Lots of love to each of you! cousin Jennifer Frazier

Hey,
Just want to let you all know that we are praying for you all and evan. We hear about him and how special he is all the time so it is nice to see pictures. God designed evan's every cell, he knows exactly what is going on down to the last molecule. He can choose to heal or not, because he knows the plans he has for evan and he will display his works in evan's life. John 9:3

Hi,
Lani Tower told me about your website. I know personally what a blessing it is to get encouraging words from those who love you and support you in this difficult time. May God richly bless you and provide for every need- physical, emotional, and spiritual. I will add you to my prayers as you search for medical answers for this child of promise. With God all things are possible. If God be for you, who can be against you? Thank you for opening this website so others may give the gift of encouragement to a hurting member of the body of Christ.

Dear Evan,
You are so adorable! Our big boy, David, has had some health struggles in his lifetime, too. I think that God gives boys like you and our David special, easy-going temperments as a special blessing in the midst of challenging circumstances.

What a beautiful boy! I am pleased to meet you Evan. God's "story" for you may be different than anyone expected but He will use you mightily. What an awesome testimony you will tell someday. God promises strength for today and we rest in that truth. Remember Psalm 107:35

Erika-
I appreciate you sharing your current struggles. I am glad that you started a website for Evan, and I truly appreciate you sharing it with your former Focus classmates. I will keep your family and you in my prayers. Evan is a precious boy. I will continue to check the site for updates. May God richly bless you with His peace.

Being Evan's grandparents we "may" be prejudiced but we think he is a really special boy. His mom and dad are equally special! God is good and, no matter what Evan's condition, He loves Evan more than any of us do. We suspect that, in some way, Evan knows that.
