Hanging On

First, sorry there have been no updates in a while. We are all amazed at how long Dad has been holding on. Dad was in great shape at the time of the accident and his body is still fighting to stay alive. He was disciplined with his eating and exercise so most of his body with the exception of his brain has still been functioning. There are starting to be accumulating signs that show his body is shutting down. We are learning more about how amazingly our bodies are created. God created us to fight for survival and the least important body parts/functions shut down first so that we can survive.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support.

Bless your hearts. You all have been in our daily prayers and we know this last month has been difficult for you all. In reading your blogs you seem to have such a peace with all that has happened. You are a true witness of God's strength, mercy and grace. Know that we continue to pray for all of you. May HE continue to surround you all with HIS precious love. Love you!

Lucy Beth and family; We continue to pray for you and Jerry daily.
We know that God has a plan;but sometimes it is hard to understand. That is it; we don't have to understand, just trust in God. We love you all.
