I got an update from my FRiend this morning and the news is better.
He cannot speak yet, but he can hum and sing.
He seems to have no problem understanding everything, which is wonderful news! He is able to write things down to communicate.
He is sleeping a lot due to the swelling on the brain, but the swelling has peaked and surgery probably won’t be necessary!
My FRiend would like to thank all of you, she says that this thread is a great source of comfort for her and she plans to read it to her husband as his recovery progresses.
I too would like to thank all of you, the outpouring of love for someone you don’t know is truly touching.
Please have a safe and happy Independence Day and God Bless.
That’s great news, Wagglebee!
Sounds like the worst is over.
He can hum and sing. What a blessing! Would that we all would even want to sing in our worst hour. Praise the Lord.
I hope no one minds, but I would like to post a prayer here, right now.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for loving us and making it possible for us to come right to your throne, to speak with you. I love you very much, and thank you for the many mercies you have shown me. I thank you for all the times that friends, have prayed for me and my family; and I ask you to bless each and everyone of them, with blessings far greater than they asked for me. I come now to pray for a man who had a stroke. I don’t know his name, but Lord, I know that you know his name. Your word says that you even know how many hairs are on his head! I know that you love this man, and his wife. I ask you now for the same kind of mercy you have shown me many, many times, to be given to this couple. Help them Lord. Renew them. Heal them, for your name sake.
Also, I want to remember here, Jim Robinson the founder of this site, and ask you to remember him, and complete his healing.
But, I also come to you today, to ask you to heal this brother of ours; to lean down and whisper in his ear comforting, healing words. I pray that you would strenghten his heart and his mind, that you would comfort him, and make him strong and able to stand. Not just stand on his feet, but stand on your word. Stand firm in his faith and trust of Jesus Christ. I ask you to bless his wife, and send her patience and understanding. Give her strength to endure. Give them eyes to see your glory, and feel your presence at all times. Lord you are great! We know that you can do these things, and we trust you to keep your word. IN the holy Name of Jesus Christ, I pray and ask, Amen.
Your grace still amazes us. We exalt Your Name and praise You for blessing this man and bringing Your healing to him. May the Name of Jesus Christ be glorified in his life always. We love You and thank You in His Name. Amen.
Great news. Proof that prayers work. Keep the prayers up.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 15:6-7
prayers to all of you involved.
Continued prayers!
Praise God! Thank you for the praise report. Prayers for this dear couple will continue. :)
I got another update from my FRiend and the good news continues.
He has been moved from ICU to the stroke unit for more aggressive therapy (unfortunately, all of therapists are off for the weekend).
He has been listening to music, watching videos and talking to friends.
Thanks to all for the continued prayers and God Bless
Continuing to pray for this special FReeper and her husband.
