Thank you to the many people who have been fasting in Doogie's behalf today. Our family has felt the love and comfort that all of you are praying for. We are unable to convey the words of gratitude we have for all of you. Thank you and please continue to pray and keep Doogie in your thoughts.
Not much news to report today. They have increased his medication today, to help him rest. His breathing is very labored today, so they have increase the ventilator to give him rest. This is all to be expected. He is fighting the battle and as we all know... Many good days and many not as good days will find us. He is so strong and healthy. We have great faith.
I will be putting more pictures on and we would like to post pictures of him with friends and co-workers if you would like to send them in to the email listed yesterday. We appreciate all of you and this blog is for all of us. To help us laugh, help us cry, and to lift our spirits. We love you all, and again can't thank you enough for the tremendous outpouring of love, support and kindness shown to our family.
We want to thank the Minna Family. They have given us great hope, and we will be sharing more about this soon. I have to get all the information straight, but what we have been told by them matches what our initial reaction to the doctors telling us "He is paralyzed...." Well that is true today, we'll see about that in the future..... but all of us that know Doog know, JUST TELL HIM HE CAN'T DO SOMETHING..... HE WILL SHOW YOU, YES HE CAN AND WILL!!!!

Val, It all feels like such a crazy dream to us. We are praying for you and put in a prayer request at our church today. I know that you have lots of support but please do not hesitate to call if you need ANYTHING- meals, watch your kids, check your house, etc. You have become part of our family over the past year and we are here for you and Doog.

Gordy, I know this will not keep you down! Keep up the fight ! Val and family, we send our love.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the extent of Doog's injuries, though I can guess. I do know that miracles happen, however. I have seen them first hand many times. I have seen people miraculously healed. I know that through faith in Jesus Christ, all things are truly possible.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we live in an exciting time, as far a science is concerned. I know that the time is not far that spinal chord injuries can be completely healed. Stem cells are just the beginning. (http://www.aspenpost.net/2009/01/29/post-time-news-stem-cell-spinal-cord-repair-%E2%80%98within-five-years%E2%80%99/). Break-throughs like this are amazing, but they don't even come close to the healing power of the Savior, or the power of true faith.
Keep the faith, Doog. And may God bless you and your family according to your needs and desires.
We can't get you all out of our thoughts and prayers. Here come some big hugs....errrrrrrrr...squeeeeeeeeze! Stay strong, we are here if you need ANYTHING, day or night. Miss you! cree~
