Family Update #2

Thanks to all those who have kept our family in their prayers.

As an update, Alex's viewing was on Monday and the funeral on Tuesday. It was difficult, with much heartache and tears. There was also a peace. I'm grateful for the Spirit and the peace it brings. We continue to pray for that peace to continue to be with Russ, and especially Cary.

As far as things at the hospital, Jeff came out of it on Tuesday. It was so good to see him sitting up and joking with everyone. He was released from the hospital yesterday. I am amazed he was released so soon. It is quite a blessing. Paul had hip surgery on Tuesday, then they took him off of the pain meds so that he would come out of the induced coma. As of 10:30 last night, he still hadn't come out of it. They did a MRI Wednesday night. The good news is that they didn't find anything. The bad news is that they didn't find anything. They said that there is no reason that he hasn't woken up yet. I suspect that his body is trying to recover from the 3 surgeries. Additionally, there were some things mentioned in the blessing that he was given that I think are taking place right now.

I will post another update when there is something to report.
