April 14 1:30

Neil has not moved yet. He has been very nauseated all morning. The visit is being delayed as they have given Neil some medication to see if this will settle down. The nurse said the move to a room is on hold for the time being. They have stopped the tube feeding and are trying to determine what is causing the nausea. His throat is very sore from all the coughing. Neil does not have a temperature, thank goodness. Please pray for Neil's lungs, leg and his continued breathing on the trach collar.

Please continue to pray for the full recovery of Sue, Shannon, Daisy, John, Nelson and our other friends here. Shannon's eyes were open this morning. They are trying to wean Shannon off the ventilator. She is trying the Bi-Pap. We so hope and pray Shannon will wake up. Daisy was sitting in a chair this morning, but is so very weak. Sue has been up in a chair since the 10 am visit. She had a good lunch and is going to take a nap this afternoon. She is doing just great!!!! Isn't that wonderful? Nelson's brother said he can respond by squeezing his hand. It seems that Nelson may have to be moved to Birmingham in the next week or so.

Thanks so very much for you love and support.

We rejoice at every note of improvement, and pray that God will move in whatever areas He sees that need His touch the most. We don't always know the words to say and the directions to give, but He sees the whole picture and understands the desires of our hearts.
