Last night Dave tolerated tube feedings at 50 cc/hr, this was the goal they have been working towards!! Dave went down to IR around noon for the cholangiogram, test to see if the bile duct is working properly. They told Dave in IR that he is leaking bile from the bile duct but we haven't talked with the doctor yet. Dave's JP drain is still draining a significant amount, probably the bile the cholangiogram showed he was leaking. He wasn't able to have breakfast because of his trip to IR, but he had a big lunch that he has kept down! In PT today Dave did stairs and he walked on a slope (both without the walker)!! Diane's dad was admitted to ICU in Lincoln today because of some internal bleeding. They found his esophagus was ripped in 2 places and they have already clamped those via a scope. He will stay tonight so they can monitor his blood pressure. Please keep Harvey in your prayers also.

You all have had more than your fair share of crosses to carry. Only wish we lived closer to help carry the weight. You all remain in our prayers.
With Love,

We are adding Harvey to our daily and hourly prayers along with Dave and all of you. We pray for God's love and grace to be even more apparent to you today and that your testimony of that very grace will be seen by all. To Him be the glory for every test and every trial in our lives that He will work to accomplish His perfect will. Hugs from Lincoln,

It was so good to see Dave sitting up in his chair when we stopped last week. I thought he looked good enough to just get up and walk out of there with us. We are so glad for the improved appetite. We pray for wisdom for all of the medical staff, and that GOD would bring complete healing for Dave. We can't wait til you both get to come home. And we praise GOD for your testimony to everyone around you.
Love in Christ,
Nick & Connie

Though I have not shared this with you yet, over the past several weeks after hearing of Dave's accident, we have continually prayed for each of you and have checked to see how the Lord is choosing to answer. Though we can imagine that there are days that you feel weary and overwhelmed, how I just want to encourage you and thank you for your consistent testimony as we see that He is as work.
How I love the verse in Psalm 55:22 -- "Cast your burdens (literally, what He has given you) on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." I'm a lover of words and looked up the word "sustain."
Sustain:
To keep in existence; maintain.
To supply with necessities or nourishment; provide for.
To support from below; keep from falling or sinking; prop.
To support the spirits, vitality, or resolution of; encourage.
To bear up under; withstand: .
To affirm the validity of: The
To keep up
Know that, today, we continue to express our dependence on God on your behalf, knowing that in the midst of many uncertainities, we can yet trust that He's sustaining grace will be certain!
Praying for you all ~

Walking, steps, slopes, wow, you are progressing and we are excited! We keep praying for complete healing. We will be praying for Harvey too. I remember Erica asking us why God was allowing so many trails in her life and we said God knows who will remain faithful to Him through the trial. Don't know that is really right but if so He sure trust you all to remain faithful. He is being glorified by your testimony and faithfulness. Love and prayers, Larry and Barb
