Better Day

Troy's fever was down today and his color is good. They said if he goes 24 hours without fever he will be ready to go back to Baptist East for rehab. Kindred's objective was to get him off the ventilator and now that is done. He will be moving back to Baptist to have the trach removed, finish getting off the medication and feeding tube, and for rehab. 9 men from his Sunday School class came up tonight to pray over him. They surrounded his bed and prayed. Troy was awake, but not talking. I'm sure this was encouraging to him and we thank them for coming. Bill has been back to visit, and is spending a lot of time with him too. The medicines were reduced again today and we hope to see him more alert because of this. Thank you again for all your prayers; they are being felt. Robin has been dealing with an enormous load. I have wondered at times how she is able to keep going from day to day. But tonight she was telling me how at peace she was and how God had been there for her is such a real way over the last week, sending sermons to her with words that she needed to hear. And amid all the stress, tension and impatience that other family members are feeling, she has found a calmness that can only be from the Holy Spirit. I ask you to pray for a smooth move to Baptist and that he will be moved soon. We are anxious and ready for more progress to begin. "Our God is an Awesome God"
