Praises:
It may not seem to be the most exciting news, but for these circumstances wiggling your toes is a great praise. Today, when woken, Al was asked to wiggle his toes, and...HE DID! Such a Praise! Today after another slight bout with increased brain pressure, it again subsided and stabilzed. The awsome power of prayer in action! Be sure to keep praying so that God will be glorified!
Angels:
An email received today - I am a friend and fellow coworker of Al's at KidsPeace and just wanted to let you know ther are many many people here concerned about and praying for Al and his daughter. Please take comfort in knowing that Al was immediately surrounded by friends at the accident scene that cared for and held him in their arms until help arrived, he was not alone in his time of need. I also wanted to let you know about a guardian angel yhat was sent to Al in the form of a passing motorist who stopped to help. She was a trained EMT and took control of the scene and did everything properly and quickly to help Al. After Al was in the ambulance she disappeared as quickly as she came.
Comments:
I trust that this time has brought a pause to each of us, to value the friendships we have around us. Knowing the Lord, and His power in our lives and circumstances - the evidences we see of His love all around us- will press us toward sharing that Love with those closest to us. Our fraility, no matter how tough we think we are, is ever before us, reminding us of Who is ultimately in control. I know that the reading of the posted comments here, the emails, and phone calls, have reminded me of these things, and I pray they do the same for you.

ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteI am Lauren, Al's nightshift nurse for the first 3 nights that he has been in the hospital. Tonight I have off and I've been thinking about how he was doing today. I remembered Kristin saying there was a blog to update everyone on his condition, and I'm so happy to see that I found it and see that you had good news today! It is so nice to see that he is surrounded by wonderful people and constant prayers. Unfortunately we don't always see that, and it warms my heart to witness the love that constantly surrounds him. No one could ask for more than what you all give him!
Al,
ReplyDeleteI pray for you all during the day and at night before I sleep. I know God is healing you in His time and we all have to be patient.
Ps. I am afraid you might be bombarded with hundreds of T-Shirts when you finally wake :) won't that be wonderful :)
Love Ya,
Your Sister in Christ, Dawn
