Praise the Lord!

Kevin has regained consciousness!!! 

This evening, after the sedatives wore off, Kevin regained consciousness, opened his eyes, asked questions, and sustained breathing. This is amazing news, and we're grateful to the Lord.  As to be expected, Kevin was tired and is sleeping through the night. Tomorrow will be a busy day of talking with the cardiologists and probably running several tests. 

We covet your continued prayers for Kevin. There is still uncertainty about his prognosis, but we are filled with Hope. Please pray for his full healing, and for his energy and memory to come back readily as he regains strength. 

With joyful hearts, we thank Jesus for his death-conquering love.

We join the angels in rejoicing. Much relief that we have been pulled back once again from the potential of the worst. Will pray now while you sleep, one of the advantages of time zones . .

Yesterday was Lynn's 60th birthday, so Rich and Barb, Katherine, and Dad Leary were all together with friends. We were praying and watching the news on the blog together. We have received this good news and are praising God with you! Can't wait to see how God continues this miracle in your lives.

JD and Kevin! Just as quickly as He took our breath with the initial news, He filled our mouths with praises this morning. We delight with you in His favor. He is indeed good all the time. We will continue to pray with and for you.

Ps 62
11 One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,

12 and that you, O Lord, are loving.
