update on Will

written by Marcy Renken




Breath of fresh air!

11 "For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11



Will is more and more awake and aware. He will look you straight in the eye for a few moments at a time. He is beginning to follow you with his eyes also.



The plan for the rest of today starts at 2 pm with ex-tubating Will. They will see how well he breathes on his own. If he passes the test, the tube will be removed from his throat. Yay! If he's not quite ready, they will try again tomorrow. He may be cranky for a day or so afterwards. He could begin speaking, but he may not want to if his throat is sore.



They had to stop feeding him for now, because his tube may be removed later. Based on how he does will determine whether he will need a feeding tube. We are hoping Will is able to eat without the feeding tube to avoid further surgery.



Otherwise, Tom's update from earlier gives you all the other stuff going on.



Oh, I want to thank each of you who completed the homework assignment! You all got an A!!! For those who did not respond, Will said it is ok to turn it in late!!! Isn't he sweet?!?! I read most of them to Will last night. It was either a complete coincidence or the Holy Spirit, but when I read to him he made some movements. When I said "praise" a few different times, both of his arms would suddenly go up in the air. I am going with the Holy Spirit on this one!



That's all for now!



Have a blessed day! Thank you for continued prayers!
