Good News
Eric had another quiet night of healing. His breathing continues to improve. The doctor came in this morning, furthur decreased some settings on the ventilator, and said he'll be taking the breathing tube out "in a day or two." Incredible! Three, four days, a week ago, I never dreamed Eric would start to recover so quickly. God is good. Physical therapy has already been here and will come back again this afternoon, so Eric is gaining his strength back. And he's been complaining he's hungry, despite his tube feedings. I know he can't wait to get off the ventilator just so he can eat. And talk. Communication has been frustrating to him. Please pray there'll be no setbacks. Coming off the ventilator will be the hugest step in Eric's recovery. Thank you so much for your continued prayers.

Mom tells me she wants to go running through the hospital singing this song, but she's afraid they'll kick her out, so I'll shout it out here. Sing it with me everyone...
"O for a thousand tongues to sing
my dear Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!"
I'm singing it with you, Lisa!

Praise God! What a wonderful miracle, and what wonderful dedicated prayer warriors, and what a beautiful, loving Jesus.
I'm specifically praying for Eric to be healed inside and out and that he'll never be sick again. Never! Nothing is impossible for our God. Nothing!
Angie, we are all so glad to hear of todays news. I found out about your blog several days ago and have been keeping up with it ever since.

It is so good to read your news! Tell Eric the world is anxious to have him back to full health.
Dennis just received news via text that Eric was improving so I jumped onto your blog to catch up on where things stand today. I'm so pleased to hear of Eric's progress and that prayers are being answered on his behalf. We had added him to the prayer list at Maplewood Church of Christ and I've also asked several friends and family individually to pray for Eric and your family. Its good news that PT is seeing him now and that he is not being sedated so heavily. Our hearts go out to your family. God is so good, and your family is very strong and inspiring.
