Less meds, more movement

Levi has had all his blood pressure medications removed. The "coma" medication still remains off. He is basically still on four different anti-siezure meds, but I believe the are weening him off those now. He is still really puffy, but the nurse told us that its pretty normal at this stage or recovery. Normal or not, its hard to see his little feet, hands and face so swollen. All of his vital signs are looking really good. He continues to twitch his eyes, he will squeeze your finger if you holding his hand, his arms and feet occationally move a little bit now, he sucks at his breathing tube, and a few of us have even seen him yawn. We are believing he will open his eyes today. I think his eyes would of opened by now if he wasnt so swollen with fluids. We havent talked to the neurologist today, but the nurse said they were only in the room for a minute or two and left. We will take no news as good news. Sounds like they saw nothing of concern :)

Our church small group (C2) was awesome last night. Thanks to everyone there for your prayers. Sometimes we forget that we are NOT the only one going through trials when we are deep in one. It really helped to take the focus off "our" trial and to remind us to continue to lift others in prayer in our time of difficutly.

To our entire church family, I wish I could thank each and everyone one of you individually. Looking back, the corporate prayer on wednesday was the turning point in Levi's health. He was pretty stable up to that point, but after our church came together and lifted him up in prayer, his health started to improve immediately. God really does answer prayers!!!! AMEN
