Update 4

Hello All,
I received the following e-mail from John last night:

"Dave

Thanks for doing all of this. I just wanted to let you know that it really means a lot to us.

We had a roller coaster day. His numbers were up, then down and back up again. He had a seizure tonight. It was very difficult to watch. Thankfully, he had it when the doctor was standing outside his door. It started in his face, with twitches in his eyebrows, then progressed, including his left hand. It wasn't violent, just rhythmic. They gave him a good dose of medication and stopped it.

It shook me, but the doctor saw my reaction and quickly told me not to be alarmed. She said that it's his brain healing and finding new pathways. She was actually encouraged by it. It was the best news we've heard yet.

He's sleeping now. His numbers are good. His oxygen level in his blood is great. This means that he's beginning to heal!

Keep praying! You're carrying us.

Thank you for everything you're doing.

-John

*** UPDATE ***
John text me this morning & said he's led his brother Casey to the Lord. Casey accepted Christ! It's truly amazing how God can use ANY situation to His glory! I'm so encouraged & renewed by this. Please continue to pray for Micah & his family but also remember Casey as a new believer. Pray for his growth & discipleship.

Thank you all for your prayers & faithfulness. Keep praying!

May the Lord bless you all...

Sincerely,
 
David Mendel
