Specifics To Pray For

We met with the neurologist this evening and he told us that the swelling in Dad's brain has not increased, which of course is excellent news. It seems like the swelling has peeked and should now start to decrease, but he was quick to remind us that it's still early and Dad remains in very critical condition. In the doctor's words, "We are still in the woods." He pointed out that there is a ventricle at the back of the brain that is still deformed from the swelling, and that the part of the brain that controls the right eye looks like it's damaged. He will be able to assess Dad's condition much more accurately after the swelling has decrease and the brain migrates back into it's normal position. Dad will become more and more responsive as this takes place.

So, to summarize, here are some specifics to pray for...

1. That the deformed ventricle returns to normal.
2. For his right eye functions perfectly.
3. No brain damage.
4. That his right side starts moving.
5. And that he's able to talk, eat and function normally.

At this point nothing else can be done. The best thing for us to do is pray, and I know you're all doing that. Thank you so much, once again.
