Thursday

Today was a good day. Steve's lungs have continued to clear up and his breathing is even better today than it was yesterday (if you can believe it!). He was more active and responsive today than he's ever been. We ask specifically for the following prayer requests:
-The minor surgery on Friday for his tracheostomy and feeding tube in stomach
-Steve would respond to verbal commands from the doctors and nurses (so far he prefers to respond to family members' voices mostly).
-He would be admitted to the rehab unit as soon as possible (maybe even next week)
-continued prayer that his brain will heal properly
Again, thanks to everyone for all the prayers, cards, meals, etc. It continues to make a huge difference.

Dear George,

I continue to think about you and your family daily. Please let Beht know how grateful we all are for her blogs, it is nice to be able to find out what is happening.

We continue to keep Steve and the rest of you in our prayers.

Life continues on much the same here in the Lab. Denise has moved to night shift and no new applicants for the evening shift opening. Cheryl is coming to the end of her treatments and we are all missing you.

I will keep in touch. Is there anything you would like us to send you? We would like to do anything that might make this any easier for you and your family.

Keep in touch.

Maureen
