Good Morning!
Just wanted to pass along some encouraging news. Brian opened his eyes and gave a purposeful response this morning! This is very encouraging. Please keep praying. His family appreciates all your prayers.

The family has asked for us to say a special thank you to all of you for the enormous amount of support, visitors and prayers that you all have given to them!!
We are going to do our best to keep everyone updated as much as we can on his condition. Right now, Brian is doing great. Today was a good day. This morning he made the first signs of understanding, and communicating by squeezing the nurses hand and shaking his head yes to answer her. Then around 12:30 this afternoon they took him off the ventilator and he is continuing to breath on his own! The last update a few minutes ago was that he is starting to TALK! hard to understand but he is talking. He even laughed at a joke a little. It is awesome to see how God has answered our prayers! Please keep praying. He has a long road ahead. The doctors have limited the time anyone is allowed in the room with Brian to 10 minutes an hour. So you are welcome to go up to the hospital and visit with the family, but since their time is so limited with him they are asking that we save that time for just family members. Once he is out of the ICU and doing a little better they may allow more time for friends and other visitors.
Thank you all for your support and prayers keep them coming. If you get this tonight pray especially for the family I know they have not been able to sleep much and they all need it!
If you see anyone's name not on this email that should or would like to be added please feel free to forward this on to them. I do not have the email address for blythefield hills church or oakfield church if someone can forward this on to them.
thanks again
