Sunday 3pm Update

This morning Steve greeted us with a big smile. He no longer wears an oxygen mask. His breathing is much better. Praise the Lord! We gave him a bedside worship. He was delighted to join us in singing a few lines from old beloved hymns. Mentally, he also seems very alert. As a result, the neurologist cancelled the Lombar Puncture (spinal tap) scheduled for tomorrow. Currently, Steve is on a clear liquid diet. As the day progresses, he may be able to move on to thicker liquid. The doctors are not ready to release him from ICU just yet. However, this is in some ways a blessing, as the heightened attention from ICU nurses does give us the needed break.

Prayer request: Please pray for continued recovery. Steve needs to work his lungs to increase their capacity. Please pray that no further complications occur to weaken his body. We praise the Lord for your faithfulness in remembering us always in prayers. He is our strength in our times of weakness.
