Joye's Update 5/19/08

Another pretty good day today. Andrew weaned twice (30 minutes each), and they were going to try and get another wean in tonight after I left for the night. I wanted to begin tonight having Andrew listen to the audio book I have for him "90 Minutes In Heaven," but instead, he wanted me to begin reading the other book I had ordered "The Miracle Man" written by Morris Goodman. It's a true story about a man who crashed a small airplane and should not have survived and though he did he should never have been able to do anything but lay in a bed on a ventilator. He not only survived, but he now breaths and walks and has recovered beyond anyones (including doctors) wildest expectations. I will read Andrew a chapter each night; Andrew listened very intently tonight to the first chapter. It's a very inspirational story of a mans will to recover. I know that Andrew (too) has the will to recover and with his faith in God, I have no doubt he will be the next miracle man. I told him that when he recovers we will write his own book called "The Miracle Black Man." He laughed and thought that was a pretty good idea. Please continue to pray, God hears our prayers. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

Hello Langley and Joye,
I am happy to hear of the progress.
Keep up the fight and you'll be writing your own miracle novel.
School is almost out for us. I'll try to keep up with your blog but you know where i live, out in the boon docks, internet is not the greatest.
As always, my prayers and thoughts are with you both.
Bobbi

Listen to this...Mr.... :)

Luke 17:5 (NIV) The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."

Ok Langley, you have met your most inner power to survive anything, I know that you will achieve your goal to walk out of there. You just stay strong minded within yourself and your faith in God and we will see the next miracle man. You personally have what it takes to survive everything the world may dish out. You are a true hero in itself. And I know you will recover 100%. Keep up the great work. You're constantly in everyones prayers, and there has not been a day go by that someone doesn't ask about you and shares their admiration of you on your strength and determination to beat this. If you only knew how many of us are out there praying for you, you would be totally amazed at the love people have for you. Between God and your inner strength we will see you as you once were. And "yes" the book you will write will be about the most amazing miracle black man that we all have grown to love and adore. love and miss you always. Carrie
