Just visited Neil. My goodness, he is doing such a good job. He was on the trach collar for 45 minutes. During this visit he did not speak, but focused on breathing. He oxygen sat was 95-97 during this time. Neil could work very hard and could bring his breathing down in the 30s. We cannot tell you the experience of watching your husband, son, nephew and son in law breathe on his own. This is in fact a mountain top experience. Wow. Please pray for Neil's lungs.


Please pray for the full recovery of Sue. Sue is getting an unit of blood. The doctor is doing this but he said her numbers were only minimally low. The doctor is taking a wait and see position. We are loving this. She has been on the trach collar for 8 hours today. She had a good visit with her daughters and a grandson and wife. She always seem to show off for the grandchildren. Sounds like a normal grandmother to me. Yea!!!!


Please pray for Mr. Averette as he is having a heart procedure. We are praying for his full recovery.


Please remember our good friend Kim who was in the hospital last week. She totaled her car yesterday trying to avoid an accident with a truck. She had to be cut out of the car with the jaws of life. What a miracle!! She has a few stitches and is home. Miracles abound!!!!!


I do not think I have said enough about Neil talking to us today. I cannot express what a celebration we have had. It is so similar to the day Neil was born. That day we had family and friends gathered and all were crying and celebrating. Finally, one of the nurses asked why was everyone so upset. We were able to explain these were absolute tears of joy. Today was the very same experience for the same young man. What a miracle!!!!!!!!
