Vicki Called!!!

She sounds like my good 'ole Sis tonight. Well, hummm it's her morning and she has slept hard for 5 hours. I'm thinking I'll beat her and sleep 6 hours tonight. We are all feeling good, Mom included.

His blood pressure dropped really low in the night. The South African team started him on blood pressure meds yesterday. The nurse just backed that down and they currently have it controlled.

He's still on the mattress chill pad to reduce his temp. He's still on the ventilator. He's still unconscious. But he is STILL STABLE! Thank the Lord! He's still on go for a feeding tube today. This is important at his age to ensure he doesn't lose muscle density.

I took a few minutes and shared some of your posts to the blog. She was so touched by each of your kindness. I've had approximately 5000 hits to the blog since this morning. Every post is going to be printed for Timothy. Vicki realizes that many of us wish we were there with him. She is going to take pics and send for the blog. Of course sometimes pics look horrible so if they turn out too bad we have opted to not post them.

Vicki said the 4:00 AM thing was was @ 11:00 am in Malawi and that was when the doctors finally felt they had him stable enough to transport. Wow! Vicki and I both shed a tear or two just recounting the nightmare we faced then.

I didn't think I'd be posting again, tonight. Hopefully this is officially it for the night. Of course if we have a little bump in the road to recovery I'll be up praying and will post for each of you to join our efforts. Vicki and Tremayne love you all and thank you so much for helping carry this load. Lauren, Micah and Chelsea feel your prayers, too!

Thank the Lord! I think maybe I'll sleep a little better without wanting to get up and check the blog through the night. God is most amazing. I can't imagine our lives without him. He speaks peace to us in the midst of our storms and for that I am truly thankful. Please tell Vicki and Tremayne and Timo we are continually praying. Tell Timo Kate says"wake up dude"!

Love,

The Lord did it for Bro Stoneking and he did for Sis Freeman and now He will do it for Tim. Tim has too much to do for Jesus and the African Child.I too am shaking inside with what the Lord is doing. Sis Simoneaux you guy's are awesome people.

My name is John Soto. I'm from Clintonville, WI. I know this doesn't have to do anything with your blog entry but please check your nephew Timothy's blog A.S.A.P. I left an important message for him as a comment under the entry from Sunday July 20th. If you could relay the good news on there to him or his family somehow that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and god bless!

P.S. When I was typing his message i was so overwhelmed that i accidentally told him that i was 14. I'm actually 15.

It's me again. I just wanted you all to know that we have been praying and fasting for Timo. I have been keeping up through your blog. When we sat to tell our son, Antonio, that Timo was sick, he said, "Mommy, let's pray again, right now". It's been constant prayer for him, for Vicki, and for Tremayne since we heard. We love them..tell them our thoughts and prayers are still with them.

God is going to prevail. We had an incredible move of God in our 10-12 year old Bible Study last night for Timo. I was talking at home about it and Ellerie (age 14) was listening in. She said all of the MK/PK group on Everyone's Apostolic are binding together in prayer. This trial that Timo is going through is causing our young to bind together in prayer. God has intervened. If there is anything at all you need, please don't hesitate to ask.

Praise the Lord! I even went to bed last night around midnight and slept through the 4 a.m. time until almost 7 a.m. I am still praying much for Timo, Vicki and Tremayne. God is so good!!!!!! It is a blessing to be part of what He is doing. Susy (in Reynosa)
