March 20 8:10 am

Good Morning, The nurse said, "Neil had a restless night". He said that was to be expected. We look forward to a visit later this morning. Please pray for Neil's lungs.

Sue is having the trach procedure as I write this. Her sweet family will be meeting with the doctors later this morning. Please bless Sue and her family with your prayers.

My friend and colleague, Kim, is being released from Brookwood Hospital today. Please pray for her recovery and safe travel home.

Please remember the Andress family with your love and support during this Easter season. Our love and prayers continue to be with Mike, Rob, Tricia and all the Andress family.

In a quick note, I must bring you all some good news. Many of you running this marathon with Neil and praying for him are living in urban areas. We are from the southeast Alabama area, a small town, Elba. Our families and friends are from everywhere. The huge advantage in living in a small town is the community support. DeAnn called our optometrist and had new glasses for Neil in a day. (She will take Neil's his glasses this morning.) From time to time our bodies have "failed" us and we have had to call our physician, describe our symptoms and we had medication within the hour. Our mail is brought to us by wonderful friends. Our needs are minimum and each need is met. All of our physical needs are met and the prayers, love and support are amazing.

There are not words to describe our love and gratitude for your prayers. We are such a blessed family and Neil continues to be blessed with miracles. Hope you all are having a wonderful day.

I missed the past few days, but i just got caught up and I am so glad to hear neil is finally waking up.

Tell him to "Keep up the recovery and we will keep on praying."
