Still Praying

Last night, I saw Dad for the first time in about 2 weeks. I was comforted by how good Dad looks- his eye that was black has improved a lot and his face looks good and he just looked like he was resting. If I wouldn't have heard yesterday's news about the brain stem swelling I would not have had any idea he had a setback yesterday. We have not seen the doctor yet today to get an update. The nurses have told us he had a steady night. We're hoping to find out from the doctor if he plans to do another CT scan or if he just wants to continue the medicine. So we don't know a whole lot new today.

Personally, I'm taking special encouragement in Romans 8:26-28

" 26In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
27and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. "

We see some of the good that is coming out of this situation but we trust there is more than we know. We're praying for Dad to be healed but ultimately know the Spirit is interceeding for us according to His will.

Wade, thank you for the update.

Our hearts and prayers are with you all. I can't tell you how much we are praying for healing.
