Sunday

It is Sunday, a day of rest! Justin's procedure seemed to go well, but the swelling thereafter and pain made for an extremely rough night. In fact, we got a 3 am phone call from the hospital that Justin had respiratory distress. They had him stabilized. We pray for rest and healing for Justin today as he celebrates his 27th birthday!

***12:30 visit....Justin is coming along slowly and we are hopeful. Amanda, Donlee, and Bill delivered some balloons and cards. Justin's voice is still hoarse and he needs prayers for healing! :-)
***5:30 visit....Justin was sitting up in the chair when we arrived. He was sitting very still, trying to relax. He still has pain and swelling from Saturday's procedure.
***8:30 visit...Bill, Amanda, and Donlee will go over to the hospital shortly for a visit with Justin. We hope that by late tomorrow we will see a marked improvement or even sooner. The ENT had said that the swelling would last a couple of days...one day down.

Please keep Justin in your prayers! We are praying that the swelling goes down, nerves begin to heal and that he makes marked improvements each day!

Love to all--Thanks for your sweet notes of encouragement and prayers!!

    My prayers are still with you all, as you come to the "light at the end of the tunnel" part of this journey!
    Love you all,

  3. Tell Justin we said happy birthday! John came down the stairs this morning and said it was Justin's birthday and he wished he could do something for him. We figured we'd wait until he gets back to Texas...tell him we'll take him wherever he wants to go to eat...John's treat!! :) We hope and pray for a speedy recovery!
