It has been almost a week from the last post but little has changed since then. He is more irritable and sweaty but more aware. He definitely seems to be better if we are there and he hears our voices. Because the storming seems to be at an end (or close to it) the doctors want to start working on taking out his trach within the next week or two. They will do lots of tests to see if he can breath well without it and if he swallows his own secretions. He wasn't swallowing well in Springfield so we're praying and hoping that he can now. He seems to be waking up slowly, becoming a bit more active, a bit more alert, a bit more upset, a bit more happier - he smiled at me a couple of times the other day and at a therapist as well (while awake).
My prayers have remained the same: that God would restore him fully, as he raised the widow's son through Elijah and that God would crown him with love and compassion, fulfilling his desires with good things, so that his youth may be restored like the eagle's. Thank you for your faithfulness to us and Fergus. Please continue to pray.
Gratefully, esther

So glad to hear about Fergus smiling at you. Alot can be said with a smile. We'll keep praying for his full recovery and specifically the trach coming out. Hope Ian, Rose, and George are doing well. Praying that you will all be together soon. Any news about a house? I love you all!
