HI all:

Quick note before off to bed and leave for FL in the morning. Did see Brian this afternoon before coming to friend's house. His eyes were wide open and he had just had another surgery! Apparently the muscle in the right leg (this is the one that was the worst) hadn't taken or something so they went into pull some more around or something like that. Anyway feel this will take; if not there's one other place they can take muscle from before options would have to be discussed. But our prayer focus is that this one will take. Honestly, y'all considering what all he's been thru he looks pretty darn good as far as his color and all. Still has the trach but totally breathing on his own - Praise the Lord! He seemed to pay attention and certainly knows when Mama is talking! Thanks again and keep up the prayers. Hope everyone is doing well. Love y'all.

    Thank you so much for putting us on us on your church's prayer line. Of course, I don't mind; we need all the people we can praying. It's been two weeks today since the accident and we have seen the power of prayer at work but we cannot let up; he still has a long way to go. This is one of the great things about this network, such caring people and I wish I could meet everyone of you in person and give you a big hug! Thanks so much and keep the prayers coming!
