Not much news to write, but I thought it was important to get something posted none-the-less.
Dad's little birthday song to Dina must have wore him out! Since he usually only gives us a few words at a time, the 20 or so (yes, I had to count them), set to music to boot, left him pretty drained yesterday.
Lots of good sleep though, and for that we're extremely grateful. He is still running a bit of a fever (about 101 degrees), and we're awaiting test results to find whether there's some infection.
The ventric (ventriculostomy or shunt as it's more commonly known) that has been draining cerebral spinal fluid was removed, and we hope there will be no need to re-insert it (EVER)! Praise God!!
We pray daily, as I hope you are, for God's continued comfort & healing.
We are thrilled by the steps he's taken towards the complete recovery we expect, and we know there will be ups and downs along the way. However, while we love to pass along news of his progress... we don't want anyone to be lulled into a sense that he's all better (yet). We know that the road ahead is long and uphill and ask that you be fervent in your continued prayer for Dad.
God has and continues to do miraculous things in Dad's life, as well as the lives of our family and of others touched by this ordeal.
The Best is (still) Yet to Be!
Johnny:)
Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
