Hi, It is amazing that it is not quite three weeks since this all began. How wonderful Our God is and how completely He has comforted, encouraged and sustained us through this time. 

Today I was up to be with Chris in the morning. He didn’t sleep well last night. He was quiet today. He is coming along. They said they were pleased with all his counts and numbers they are either holding or they are going in the right direction.

Today he had surgery to clean out the arm and leg. Things are starting to improve. I understand that the infection is getting better. When they cleaned things out today there was not so much needing to be done as before. This is an answer to prayer. 

Tomorrow they are planning to begin some of the reconstructive surgery. We are praying that this will go well, for the surgeons as they do what they know best and there will be no further complications with infections.  He was moving his fingers on his left hand a lot yesterday and today. This is wonderful. Praise the Lord. 

Yesterday He was very responsive. He was trying hard to communicate and we were a little daft at being able to figure it out.  I think Nina did the best. He even was able to write out his name on a clipboard. She is so good with him. 

We are continuing to believe for her complete healing from Graves Disease.  God is so good.

We are continuing to pray that as He recovers his mind and emotions will heal quickly. It is so amazing how God made the body. He built into it so many things to protect and heal, during the recovery time. Moreover, when I think again, how God spared his life I am so grateful.

Grateful to God for giving him life and grateful to the Doctors for the wisdom and skill they used in putting the pieces together when he came in.

Today after I spent time with Chris, I found myself crying and then I cried again and then I cried some more.  I think they were good tears. Tears of thanks and tears of release as I see what we have been believing God for, move from the ‘knowing’ in my heart to starting to see it in the flesh. 

Praise God for His goodness and for His wonderful works toward the children of men.   

Love Karen
