March 27

Just visited Neil. He is coughing quite a bit, but is learning to manage this well. His nurse wants Neil to get his nights and days straight, so he is going to give Neil some ambien to see if this will help him sleep through the night. The nurse is going to do his trach care now so there will be no more housekeeping duties for Neil during the night. Neil is managing this ventilator setting well. His oxygen sat is 97. Yea!!!!! We so look forward to tomorrow.



Please pray for Neil's lungs.


Oh my goodness, Sue has had a good news. Those stints have been a miracle for her. Her daughters and family are just thrilled as are we. Wow, aren't prayers powerful? More wonderful news. Preston Nail had four bypasses and is doing excellent. God is good!!!!


I saw Brian Phelp's father today. Brian has had surgery on his arm and his face. There is discussion about him going to Health South. This is so encouraging. Also, Christine is slowly improving and there is discussion about her going to Health South. Christine's fiance has been here the entire time. They are to be married May 31 and the doctors are saying she will be in great shape by then. Please pray for the full recovery of Sue, Brian, Christine, Shannon and our other friends here.



Thanks so much for your love and support. Every day we are humbled and overwhelmed by your love and prayers.

Lucia,
How could we not be with y'all at this time in your lives? I will never forget the ribs and brownies you brought to Mom and I after Daddy died. You were our lifeline in a dark world. I can never thank you or express my gratitude enough for what your love and kindness did for us. What goes around comes around, Sister Girl!
Thank God for His daily miracles.
