Monday

First of all I would like to say, on behalf of our family, Thank you so very much to each of you that have been praying and fasting for my Dad. I told my Dad that he is just riding on the wings of prayers and fasting, and he agreed. He has had 4 treatments so far of the plasmapheresis ( a type of dialysis) and the Dr's believe it has worked to stop the progression of the Gulliun Barre Syndrome (GBS). Because Dad is doing so well, the nurse told mom today that she didn't think they were going to do any more lung xrays, which they were monitoring because that is where the GBS will go as well and can cause one to end up on a ventilator or worse. Dad is still very weak, but we know God will restore his strength in His time. God has worked such amazing things this far and like I told my mom, "it's the little victories that win the battle." Yesterday he was able to bend his legs. Please remember to keep my mom in your prayers as well. She has been faithful to my dad's side unless one of us kids were able to relieve her, so it has been very exhausting. When things kept getting grimmer last week mom said, "the darkest hour is always just before the dawn." We Thank the Lord that He has been good to us and has been with us every step of the way....actually, He has been a few steps ahead of us at every turn.
