Sunday, Dec. 9

Dear All,

Yesterday John breathed through his trach mask for 16 hours and the respiratory therapist for today was going to see if he could go 24 hours. We praise the Name of the Lord! On Friday, when Martha apologized to John for patting his head and bugging him, he said "It's ok". Then this morning when the respiratory therapist asked him to say "hello", he replied, "No". John has made a few other responses such as "Yeah", and "Ok". We are just so thankful and excited. He continues to move around and squeeze our hands when asked. He nods his head yes and no most of the time instead of trying to speak. He was pleased to hear that O.S.U. is heading to New Orleans. We give all the glory of all good things unto God! Again, we cannot thank all of you enough for your prayers and thoughtfulness and all the offers of help. May God bless you!
