He's Waking Up!

This is unbelievable. We just asked for these prayers yesterday and they are already being answered! He's still groggy (and drifts in and out) but he's the most alert he's been. His eyes are open, he's able to focus (and the Dr. says he's able to follow objects), he's looking around at his room, his lines, and his machines. He's nodding answers to some questions, and mouthing some words as well. He has said that something is "Sore". My gosh, I can't imagine why? He's "stretching" a lot - his arms, legs, fingers, you name it. He's trying to itch his wounds and is probably curious what's going on in there. Mom asked for a kiss, and he puckered up as if blowing one. He will go back to surgery tomorrow. We know that it is very possible that he might not be this alert tomorrow(or even this afternoon for that matter). For now though, this is just amazing!

Please continue with the prayers - you people must have direct lines to heaven.

  3. We serve an awesome God! Scripture tells us in James 5:11 that "The LORD is full of compassion and mercy." Thank You, Jesus! May Louie's recovery continue to amaze all those who are watching and may the LORD be given all of the praise and glory as a result! Ephesians 3:20-21 declares, "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen!"

    Trusting in Him and praising His Holy Name,
