If God is sovereign and His word is true, every good gift comes from God. Today we can give thanks and credit to Him as He is beginning to answer prayer. Yesterday and today, Mom has been completely off the ventilator 12 hrs each day and was put back on to rest in the evening. Before, it has only been 3-6 hrs. Her endurance is building.

She was more alert with her eyes in following people around. Most important, today is the first day that Mom has responded upon command regularly when ask to move her right hand, left & right feet and legs. The blood pressure is still high but was a little lower today. When reading her devotion, Eph 3,4, Prov. 29 and Psalm 23, her blood pressure dropped 10 points. It didn't do that all day without medication and she was just about to receive another dosage to help bring it down, but the nurses held off. I had to leave due to visiting hours being over. I'll let you know if they ever gave her the dosage or not to lower it.

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen" Eph 3: 20, 21
