I just got off the phone with Beccah. She told me that as of 12:15 they had taken Owen off of all medication and off of the ventilator. They are now waiting to see if he wakes up. This is a positive step and a nurse actually told them today that he was doing well. Still a big question as to what is going to happen now, so keep praying.
I'll keep you posted!
Our Lord is good!

An update
The following is from an email that Beccah sent to our old Sunday school class in Elkhart.
"I just talked to Micah. He is not off of the sedation medication yet. BUT, they did take that hot/cold blanket that was regulating his temperature away and his brain has kept his body at normal temp by itself for almost 4 hours now. The medication that he is off of will take about 12 hours because they are going to finish the bag that's dripping. It;s the med that was making him swell up not the sedation one. Thank you for everything....especially the prayers. My brother's faith has always been a little shaky with lots of questions. He is so believing that God is going to do the "first miracle I have ever seen." He has been around alot of death, even when we were young. I beg, plead and pray for God to save Owen and bring his sweet smile home to us but I pray for Micah if He doesn't. We all wonder why God would tell literally thousands of people, "no" for this request and why He would let him live in the first place and now have him doing so well. The doctor is a Christian and has told them that the fact that Owen is still here is a major miracle in itself."
Keep praying!

Small Update
Owen is still on a ventilator right now and there is no real change in his condition. He is having a CAT scan today to see the damage or progress of his brain. Please continue to pray not only for Owen but for their whole family. Mom and Dad, Micah and Jen, they have one other son Wyatt who is 3. Also for my good friends Michael and Beccah, this terrible tragedy happened in their back yard. Pray for faith and trust in our Mighty God!

Please Pray
Friends of our from Elkhart, Micah and Jen's littlest son Owen fell into a pool earlier today and is in critical condition. He has a heart beat but no brain activity. Please pray for a miracle! Please pray for Micah and Jen as they deal with this, no parent should ever have to! Also pray for Beccah and Michael (in-laws) that they will be able to help comfort them and be there for them in any way possible while dealing with this tragedy also.
Again please pray. My heart breaks for this couple! I can't begin to imagine! Pray for little Owen!

A few favorite things
My first favorite thing is Fall! It is my very favorite season. I love that you can go outside with jeans and a sweatshirt and be perfect. I love the colors and I love the smells! So that explains my new blog template. My second favorite thing is my family. I love my hubby (as seen in previous posts) and my kid is great! Ok, so only two favorite things.
Man o man does he love this tractor. We have to see it every day when we got for a walk around our neighborhood!
He says "kick a tires" and kick he does. Every tire.
He did this himself. No staging except to have him look at mama. He was even looking at the Bible all on his own.
What a riot!
I just loved this goofy smile!
