From Vicki

I received the following around 3:00 pm CST but have been very busy @ the church and with some outreach efforts and didn't have time to post.

We are heading to bed - totally exhausted .... we saw great progress today but not out of the 'woods' yet - hope everyone is still praying! His temp is now normal, breathing is still too shallow to take off of oxygen - they tried but had to put it back on. Dr. Bartlette is hoping for him to be a bit more alert. Praying that he will be able to wake on his own tomorrow. Today we would have to arouse him and he would respond for a 10 - 15 seconds at a time.

We will be looking at hearing test, eye test, learning disabilities testing later - those are minor as to what we where facing Tuesday and Wednesday. We (us and medical team) are hoping that with a few hours of natural (un sedated) rest that tomorrow will be even better. He was sipping his juices today - I would arouse him and put the straw in his mouth and he could sip and swallow on his own. Or, shake his head no. He would whisper a few words if coerced - it seemed to take a bit too much energy - easier to nod. We did see his personality today and that was encouraging!

Love you all!

I hope each of you enjoy a blessed weekend. Have good church...Timo would want it just that way! He would want the music 'pumping' and the worship 'rockin' . He's been like that since he was just a little boy. He can definitely do an Africa dance as he worships!
