5:19 AM

Me: "What about life support?"

Vicki: "It is off only nose oxygen tube now. Breathing well and slowly waking from the sedation. Still very sleepy like from surgery."

Mom just called she is trying to reach Vicki now. She and a group of friends set their clocks for 5:00 am to get up and pray since that was the original start time of the process. I'm getting emails and etc from some of them. What a great surprise they had! Rather than pray I know they are rejoicing.

Micah sent the following heartfelt email for me to pass along to each of you readers:

Thanks to all of you that have spent these last few sleepless night awake praying with us. I can never fully express my gratitiude for the compassion you have shown to us.

I can remember the numerous times I was there to save or protect Timothy and Lauren from something and this time watching from a world away has been hard on the big brother.

Chelsea has been amazed at the overwhelming response from across the world, she has always joked that there wasn;t anybody we didn't know or that knew us, now I guess that is a little more acurate.

Pleases remember all of us in your prayers. Most of the family has had years of experience in being on the wrong side of the ocean from family during tough times but Chelsea has had only 6 short months to get used to this. Thank so many of you for the numerous phone calls, emails and text msgs each one has helped us along the way.


Thank you, Micah, for such a fitting close to suh an awesome post!!! I love you, George :)-

Tell Timo to share his sedative meds now that he is waking up & doesn't need sedation- there are lots of people on this side of the world that need some sleep :-)

Micah, well written email - we love you & your family very much ... (but then I feel like I am part of the "Thomas" family)
