On the Mend

We feel the prayers and support and are more grateful that we can express. This update is for Friday, Jan. 11:

The doctor said Travis has started recovering well. Travis has been awake and alert and moving both sides of his body. He sat up for a while and has eaten (spaghetti and Bluebell ice cream!).

Some swelling has begun because of the surgery which caused Travis to have a seizure last night. The doctor said as the brain continues to heal and recover, there could be more. He's on steriods, which has caused him to have thrush in his mouth (fairly common) and is taking an antibotic to help that. He had an MRI last night and hope to know the results of that today.

Prayers for today: continued recovery and healing; for the swelling to lessen; and the thrush to disappear. Also remember Jennifer -- this new chapter in their lives is sometimes difficult to navigate.

We know so many of you would like to visit and offer your support, and we appreciate your understanding the most important thing is for Travis to heal, rest and recover.

Our God is a mighty God we feel His presence and your concern with your prayers.

Travis and Jennifer

"Our God is a mighty God..."

I know that the next chapter in Travis and Jennifer's life is an unknown yet will be "different" in many ways from what came before. Never forget Romans 8:28.

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

In Christ
