Up and at 'em!

Kevin and JD are happily together at Duke, and will remain there for the next few days as Kevin gets some tests done. The first being a heart catheterization, which will take place on Monday. Kevin has made remarkable progress today: he walked around, talked to the whole family and other visitors, and showed his mental sharpness more and more as the sedatives wore off. Even the lapses in short term memory have been improving. All of this is miraculous news, and we're filled with thanks for Kevin's life, and for the strength and support of the Bartkovich family, friends, and church. 

Please continue to pray for the Bartkovich family as things settle and medical decisions get made (possibly) this week. As you can imagine, there is likely to be quite an emotional toll from looking back over these last four days.

Outstanding! How good of our great God and kind heavenly Father to grant these important steps of restoration and recovery. We are bold enough to say that He has done this also in response to our collective and unified requests in Jesus' name.

"Come, Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise... Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come..."

I just read that Ebenezer means, literally, "stone of help" - what a wonderful time to raise an Ebenezer to our merciful God.

Rejoicing with you...
