The true test!

My dad opened his eyes and is responding to commands! They took him off of sedation for a while (what I'm told is a sedation vacation) to see what he responds to and when the nurse said Tokig he opened his eyes and tried to smile. He nodded to a question and was looking around the room.

Our friend Nick has kept telling us to focus on my dad and not the tests and while we are still awaiting results from the MRI I have absolute faith that my dad is with us!

Keep praying!

  9. One of my nursing professors used to say that we (as nurses) support the body, but God's the one that heals. I'll certainly continue to pray for God's healing as well as for peace for his wife and daughters!
