Praying for even more Miracles

Mike continues to defy and fight. The nurse pulled up his labs this morning and said really it is quite amazing how good everything looks. His kidneys are functioning, his liver numbers are down, everything looks good. His blood fell just below the threshold, so he is getting 2 pints of blood tonight.

Mike's mom was able to visit last night. It was hard for her, but good for Mike and everyone I believe.

There continues to be a flurry of activity at our house. I have yet to go home in a long time. But Doug, Dena, Jeff and Wendy have moved right on it. Doug and Jeff have tackled many projects on my "honey do" list and Wendy and Dena are keeping Elizabeth and the dog on track. Wendy talks about my kitchen cabinents and I wouldn't be surprised to see new tile or lights or something when I get home. I just makes me smile. Honestly, it sounds like so much fun and I only wish that Mike and I were there to be in the mix. But I am so blessed and so surrounded right now. I am still amazed and the calm and peace right now. I have always said that I have handed Mike over to Jesus, but this toughest test so far and that statement says a lot after everything we have been through. Mike continues to be combative. The neurologist came by and believes that Mike's lack of oxygen the other night as played a role and that his brain has suffered damage. But I believe something different and I really believe if that is the case, then God is going to do another miracle. PRAY OVER MIKES BRAIN FUNCTION.

Tonight, 18 years ago, Mike proposed to me here in McKinney on my parents couch. It has been on my mind all day. That simple "yes" and the incredible love and commitment that flowed from that decision. (which by the way is the same simple yes that we both said when Jesus called us to him and the same result..incredible love and commitment flowed). I love him so much and it hasn't changed. Mike is still my love after all this and always will be.

Doug and Dena stayed up here late tonight and helped calm Mike down and get him turned before they left. Doug asked if I needed anything before I left and I smiled. He said what? I said pray that you will shut this door and an incredible light will flow from this room and that when the nurses come in, Mike will be sitting up talking and completely healed for God's Glory. Can you imagine the impact that could have? It is such an overwhelming and incredible thought.

Again, I continue to read all comments to Mike because I believe he can hear everything. I haven't been able to get to email too often, but try. I haven't been able to retrieve all message on our home phone and I love getting the texts on my cell. Thank you. I am still in awe at the incredible calm within me right now despite everything. Thank you Jesus for the peace that passes all understanding.

Prayer needs:
Mike pray over his liver, his cancer, his pneumonia, his kidneys, his brain, his mouth and tongue, and his legs.
Sleep for everyone
Elizabeth
Family and dear friends
