Day 9: WE'RE OFF THE VENTILATOR!

Here is PROOF that God hears and answers prayers.

The news from the hospital this morning is that Dad is off the ventilator, alert and responding to simple commands such as “Hold up two fingers.” Praise God! We're on our way to the hospital now and will have more details later this evening.

It's truly a "George Bush Sunday" for our family. The DAWGS won, Dad's story has hit the media with coverage in the Athens Banner-Herald (see the next posting), and we're off the ventilator! You'll recall that our very last post indicated that the doctor felt Dad would be on the ventilator through the weekend, but God decided to step things up a bit, and we thank Him for His grace and mercy to get us through to this milestone in Dad's recovery!

More to come medically speaking later this evening, but read on to the next post regarding the "media coverage" and a note directly from Mom.

Continue to pray!

Chip and Family, Thank you so much for the updates. You have no idea how much it helps those of us that want to know how things are going, but don't want to interrupt you. I continue to pray for you all that He will give you strength, give the doctors wisdom and Mr. Bush a clear road to a full recovery.
