Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
The past couple of weeks have been physically and emotionally draining; however, they have also been some of the most spritiually encouraging days I can remember as we have had more time than usual to reflect and think about God's promises to us. It's unfortunate that it takes something of this magnitude to really get our attention. I'm so grateful that He walks with us during these times and picks us up so that we can keep going.
Dad's condition remains about the same as yesterday. Not better or worse - just about the same. He continues to be on the ventilator and heavily sedated. He did have a breathing test this morning which indicated that he is currently too weak to breathe on his own. Please pray that he would have strength to breathe on his own, that his lungs would continue to heal from the pneumonia, and that he would be able to be removed from the ventilator soon. Thanks for checking in and wanting to know how Dad is doing.
Trusting Him,
David

Thanks so much for stopping by. My hope is that you will be encouraged and comforted by traveling with us on this adventure as you see how God can take the challenges of life to assure us of the living hope that is available by faith to us all through Jesus Christ.
Thanks, also, to each of you who have personally ministered to me and my family through your thoughts, prayers of faith, visits, messages, many acts of kindness and words of encouragement, especially during those dark days, and then for the long haul during my extended recovery season.

We are watching the blog often and it helps to know how to pray specifically for Hu. We thank you for the updates and are thankful for another day, even if improvement is super slow. So difficult for all of you, but we see God's hand on you all through this challenge and it is such a wonderful testimony to the comfort in our Faith. Praying still.
