Sunday Night, November l8

We are praising God for every morsel of good information we can get about Rick's condition. We had some comfirmations today from doctors in Alabama, that there is reason to believe this Rick can survive the setback he has had and that they are doing all that they can to look into other ways of treating existing problems. He is still on the ventilator and having dialysis as tolerated three to five times a week. Lungs may be improving somewhat...he has a long, long road ahead of him for many reason, but, we are praising God for every slight improvement, some of his stomach issues are being addressed and that is a giant priase.....bowel sounds were apparently heard today....A GIANT PRAISE!!!...Praise GOD that doctors are continuing to work together to find what Rick needs. I praise GOD that St. Vincents is a "faith based" hospital and there are truly Christian doctors there who care and are praying for Rick's recovery. I know in my heart that God will keep his promise to renew Rick's strength and restore his health. Thank you for every single prayer you have lifted for RIck....it has been his lifeline and ours and we are so very grateful as his faimly....
