Well they did find bugs growing in John's sputum so he is on antibiotics. Pray that this will clear quickly. This week for the first time since the accident John felt me hold his hand and stroke his arm. He said it felt like pins and needles. After 32 years I still can electrify him. Seriously, it is great that some feeling is starting to come back. They are working on his breathing as well. He is just on room air and they have made other adjustments to his ventilator. We are looking forward to other signs of progress soon and as they happen they will be posted.
Continue to pray about his blood pressure. It continues to dip when he sits up. Sitting up has to be done in stages with the wheelchair tilted right back and then brought to an upright position in stages with little rests in between.
Yippee yahoo horray for tingly arms...our God is a great big God, who restores our brokenness!! Bless you to feel more.... even by morning. We are praying for MORE!!

SOOOOOOOOOOO excited to hear about feeling returning...praise to our God who shows us even the things we think of as tiny are indeed His miracles! We continue to pray for healing in every way that it's needed...praise to our Lord who knows exactly what's needed, even when we aren't clear on the details...praise to Him who knows and provides even before we ask. We are thankful for your loving and faithful influence John, and Laverne, and your whole family...

I am very excited for this news. Keep up the good work Uncle John. The first day of classes went well for me and I hope that I can visit sometime.
ReplyDeleteThe ministers cat is a 'awesome' cat
I was so thrilled to read about the pins and needles feelings! Hope they continue to occur. God is at work.
ReplyDeleteHi John and Laverne
ReplyDeleteYou both keep us captivated with the news that you write us. It is wonderful to see God at work
Thank you for sharing
The ministers cat is "een buitengewone" cat. (Dutch (is that allowed?) for "out of the ordinary". )
