Later On Christmas Day

Just a brief update to let you know that Barbara has had a GREAT Christmas. We all have.

Many of you have been praying for a "Christmas miracle" for Barbara. Well, you'll be glad to know she progressed by leaps and bounds today. Please understand that she is still in fragile condition, but we can't help but be excited by the events of this day.

She sat up for over 2 hours in a special chair that folds down like a bed so that she can be rolled onto it. Plus, she continues to make progress in her movements. She moved her shoulders today, and can make small but significant movements with her hands and feet now. Also, the infectious disease doctor has taken her off of 2 antibiotics. While she remains on several others, this is a good step. She continues to be off of blood pressure medicine and is remaining strong.

Also, she has been much more cheerful today. We all have had a blessed day with the visit of family members. A special meal was shared by all. God is good!

Praise our AWESOME GOD! There have been some BIG prayers answered and I thank Him from the depths of my being.
I pray that He continues to heal Barb daily.
What a wonderful gift her improvements are. Again I say, "Thank you Lord."
