“Be careful how you think;
your life is shaped by your thoughts.”
~Proverbs 4:23 GN~
Pray for Eyvonne Ricks as she has surgery on both feet this morning in Baton Rouge. Pray for the time of recovery and rehab to also go well.

Stephanie is staying at Hope Lodge and couldn’t get to the computer because of the number of folks ahead of her-so she asked me to write a journal entry which she relayed to me.
The ultrasound of the liver only revealed nominal swelling, which the doc. says is “no big deal” because this happens with most kids. They will scan her again Wednesday.
Steph sends her thanks to you all for your continuous, unceasing prayers, which we believe are indispensible to Adri’s healing. Thank you all, to the top of the Chrysler Building! God bless you and keep you! With love from Joe, Steph, Adri and the whole extended family. Stephanie will write tomorrow if possible.

Good Morning. This is Frances. I just wanted to let you know Callie had another uneventful night. So praise Him! God is so good.
The newest milestone for Callie is she is tolerating her nutrition. She receives sustinance through a nasogastric tube. She is given a 2000 calorie liquid to restore her body’s energy. I anticipate better movement once a couple of feedings are complete. She has gone 9 days without any additional energy.
We need to fuel our body much like we fuel our car. We also should fuel our souls with His word in the same way. Make up your mind to ride on a full tank. Please continue to pray for your relationshi
Thanks for all your love and support.
With much love France

Hey! This is Tom. During the 9 PM visit, Callie got really agitated. Her blood pressure, heart rate and ICPs were extremely high for a couple of minutes. She may have been in pain. To ease the pain, the nurse gave her 2 mg of morphine. She calmed down and her vitals returned to normal after 5 minutes or so.
We really don’t know what Callie can comprehend at this point. The agitation and high vital signs could possibly be anxiety due to the coma. Our desire is that she won’t become scared. We prayed over her tonight and asked the Lord to comfort Callie and allow her to feel his presence.

We had a good weekend with Colton. All the therapist said he worked hard this past week. We fully dressed him and sat him in his chair. We all went outside on the deck. Colton would take his feet and roll himself back and forth in the chair. It had to be good for him to get some fresh air. He even wore his cap one time. Stella gave him a hair cut and trimmed his face. He looks great!!!
Saturday they had a Jambalaya benefit for Colton in St. Francisville, his mothers home town. The turn out was huge. I know it takes a lot of hard work to put something like that together. We just want to thank each and everyone who participated in making it all happen. Thanks so much!!
