Good Morning,
Most of you know that my dad had quite a setback one week ago when he aspirated and stopped breathing. By the grace of God, the doctors and nurses acted very quickly to resuscitate dad and he was put back on the respirator and moved to ICU again.
Dad is off all sedation and pain medication and the doctors and family are now waiting for him to "wake up". We have been told that this could be a very slow process-but so far the doc's see no reason why dad should not come out of this-no sign of stroke or brain injury. The family is now taking turns to sit with dad, talk to him, and encourage him. I was in Richmond all weekend and dad did open his eyes some and moved his arms-he is yawning and swallowing-both reflexes-but movement so that is good.
We continue to trust God in His infinite wisdom to do the best for dad. We feel like God has saved dads life twice in the last few weeks both curing cancer and reviving him ( and probably in many other ways!). However we are becoming increasingly concerned about his lack of progress. My sister is with him now and says that he has barely opened his eyes since Sunday afternoon. He is not responding much to stimuli.
When I called this morning I was told that a CT Scan had been done in the night but results are not available as of yet. This has concerned me because the doc did not see a need for a CT Scan last week and now he does.
I guess that I am just asking you guys to continue to stand with us. It is your prayers, love, and concern that has kept dad and us going since before his surgery on Feb. 14 th. Of course I want my dad restored here on earth but God may completely heal my dad in heaven. Please pray that He will prepare our hearts for His plan in dad's life.
God Bless you all,
Tanya Paulette
