Thank you for your prayers! We feel them as a family and can tell people are praying. So thank you!!
Dad continues to fight the pneumonia but there are some positive signs we are seeing today. One sign is that he is starting to get a fever, which shows his body is fighting the infection. Another sign is that the medical staff has been starting the process of trying to wean dad off of the ventilator. They tried this yesterday a bit, but dad wasn't responding well to it. Today they tried it again and this time dad is showing he is able to handle it a bit. So, that is a bit of progress; small, but good.
Also, some people have let us know that the comments section wasn't working for them. Sorry about that. The settings have been changed now, so feel free to try again. There may be a time lag between making the comment and it going "live", but that is part how this blog is set up. Thanks for your patience!
Thank you once again for your prayers. Please continue to pray for healing for dad, for peace for him, for wisdom for the medical staff, and for wisdom and strength for our family. We thank our heavenly Father for his love and grace to us during this time and we know that He is showing that love and grace directly as well as through your continued support and encouragement. We thank God for all of you!
Praying for you all! Today's report is promising...wee steps forward. Forward is always good :) We have a sovereign God who loves us beyond measure and He cares for us. Praying you will have a very real sense of HIs presence.
