A Cloud The Size Of A Man's Hand

The neurologist examined Dad this evening and his statement to us was that there is improvement. This morning he was critical, and now he is less critical. Praise the Lord. He also said that Dad was able to track him with his eye, which was excellent news. It suggests that the swelling in the brain is reducing. It's unknown at this point whether the medication is responsible for this reduced swelling or the swelling is reducing on its own.

This is the first piece of good news that we've had so far, but because this situation is so dire, the bar for good news is very low. However, we are still rejoicing and thanking God.

  2. Thank you so much for these updates, Bro Franco. I know you have a lot going on just now. We've had your blog open for the last couple of days, since we found out about it, and refreshing every now and then, waiting for news. We're so glad to hear there is some improvement today. Thank the Lord! We are still believing that God can bring your Dad to a total healing. Amen!

  5. Thank you for the updates, thinking of your family all day today, anxiously watching for news on the blog. Any ray of light is encouraging, no matter how small it may be. Please hug Maria for us since we are too far away to do it ourselves.

    With Love,

  7. Wanted you to know that we are praying for you all and that nothing is too hard for God. We have never met your mom and dad, but feel like we know them so well from things we've heard (from dad (Dale Potter, as well as Wanda). Please let your mom know we are praying especially for her.

    Love,
    George & Rachel Hamblen

  8. I raced to the computer to see if our prayers had been answered. Any good news is good news and we rejoice for that which you posted. Thank you so much for your efforts to post these reports. We all are concerned and it keeps us from calling and hasseling your family. We love you all and pray for more good news. with love, Kathie Strooh Vincen

  9. Hello Grillos: The entire Ball family is praying with you for Bro. Vincent. I know that this is the hardest thing you have been through, having done much the same myself. Hold to Jesus unchanging hand. He will see you through this, no matter what. All our love to each of you . . . Margaret Ball
