Dr's Report

What an overwhelming reponse to prayer! Prayer is definitely working.

Timothy is of course critical but is now stable. The Doctor informed Vicki and Tremayne that he thought they were losing Timothy in Malawi. Of course this is something that Vicki, Tremayne, and I felt. At this point this isn't an immediate fear. Thank the Lord Timo is stable. The Doctor said he does feel at this point he is not at a life threatening stage.

The swelling and the pressure are both normalized! Praise the Lord!!!!! This means the Neurosurgeon that was called on standby is not needed. He was given shots about every 15 minutes enroute to Joburg to decrease swelling. The shots worked...well we KNOW Prayer is working.

Vicki has been concerned about brain damage or lasting damage. The doctor is not prepared to give a prognosis nor estimate lasting results if any. Possibly the results can be estimated in 24 - 36 hours. The type of meningitis that Timothy has is the type the doctors were hoping it not to be. Vicki forgot exactly what they said the type was of course we know a baterial infection. We know with God regardless the type he is healed.

Timothy remains unresponsive beyond what he should be due to medications at this point. To quote Vicki, "Tracie, if you or Mother walked in right now and saw him you would think he is about to die BUT if you would have seen him this morning you would realize how much better he is." The doctor was careful to let them know this may not be a fast turn around. Of course this is what the doctors say. We've already had a fast turnaround. Vicki texted wanting to call her. Her words were good news and bad news. Then since typing the blog she's called again getting rid of much of the bad!!!

Carol Simoneaux, Tremayne's mom, arrived when I was on the phone. Vicki got special permission to go in to see Timothy. At this point the doctors have limited the visitation to Mom and Dad only. I know Vicki and Tremayne were glad to see Sis. Simoneaux.

They are MOST thankful for every comment left and communication otherwise. Vicki asked that we not stop praying. She said he is no way near well at this point but he is improved! To God be the Glory!!!!
