Marty's level of awareness hasn't changed much one way or the other from yesterday. We might not witness much change in awareness in the near future -- while this is speculative, this is a potential reality. Marty has been in a coma-like state since last Wednesday morning. At times he responds more and at times he responds less to commands such as: "Squeeze my hand," or "Wiggle your toes," or "Give a thumbs-up".
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever - do not abandon the works of your hands."
Psalm 138: 7, 8

ReplyDeleteIn love,
Continue to trust in God with confidence. He has the ability to move mountains.
ReplyDeleteBlessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Ps 146 : 5. We continue to pray to the Lord for healing for Marty and for patience for the rest of the family. May God continue be near you all as He has promised.
ReplyDeleteThankful Marty and Erica are surrounded by a loving and supportive family - and an Almighty God. If Marty can hear you - please pass on these messages of encouragement to him - and God's word, to sustain him in his lonely place of suffering. Hoping for healing!
ReplyDeleteI have never met either Marty or Erica, but have heard of this through the family. We are praying here for the whole family! May God grant healing if it is His will, but above all may He give you all a peace in trusting His path through this hard time! We will be praying now that the Lord will work a great miracle and restore Marty to lead His family once more!
