A word from Mrs. Doug this morning has been very uplifting! She reported that Bro. Dale had no fever last night and only had to be suctioned once. The color of the fluid is returning normal. Bloodwork was done Tuesday and Bro. Dale was given an additional antibiotic to knock out any remaining infection. After the doctor comes in today, they are hoping he will be released to return to Baldwyn.
This morning as Mrs. Doug was brushing her teeth, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Bro. Dale was motioning for her to look at him. When she turned toward him, he pointed to the t.v. which had apparently been on all night or at least too long. She asked if he wanted her to turn it off and he nodded yes! After turning it off, she asked him if that was what he wanted. He gave her "thumbs up"! This was the first time he had initiated communication. This is significant that he initiated this request! Wow! What progress! We praise Him for this progress!
Johanna and the kids arrived safely last night. Janice, Joan and the boys are all flying in to Memphis today. Their flights are at different times, but they will rent a car to travel "home" together.
Cheryl will update the blog later today when she speaks with Mrs. Doug.
Psalm 145:1-3 says, "I praise your greatness, my God the King. I will praise you every day; I will praise you forever and ever. The Lord is great and worthy of our praise; no one can understand how great he is."
