WOW!!!

John's dad took a turn for the better. He woke up yesterday because his body responded extremely quickly to the massive amounts of steroids he was given the day before. All the family came in to say their goodbyes (except for John, of course) and were pleasantly surprised that dad had made HUGE progress. He is still battling infections, pneumonia, addison's, etc.... But yesterday he was lucid and could talk and the doctor was much more optimistic than the day before. However, since he has Addison's disease, he could easily have another Addison's "attack" and have a huge setback. John was able to clearly share the gospel with his father on the phone last night. His father prayed as well and asked for forgiveness and accepted Christ's gift. The doctor's want to put a pace-maker in his heart in a few days. He is still in ICU and is obviously critical and things can change for better or worse from day to today. God is giving us strength on this roller coaster ride, but I'd be lying if I said this isn't difficult. Your prayers and God's grace are sustaining us.
