July 31 Update

By Bud | July 31, 2008

Again we praise everyone for your support, prayers and concerns. We know that God is healing Peter and today we had more evidence of his wonderful healing powers working. Yesterday the occupational therapist saw him move his left foot ever so slightly on demand. Last night while he was in the shower chair he flex his right quad just above the knee enough to also cause his right foot to move slightly. Today while with the physical therapist, he flexed his right quad enough for her to feel it slightly. She said it was not enough to grade, but there was definitely something there. We then went to the pool and we had a different pool therapist. Peter was able to walk across the pool three times. The pool is about 15 feet wide. He also did side steps twice across the width of the pool. The pool therapist said that there is no way he should be able to accomplish what he did based on what they feel in his legs. We then asked them to check out his quad and they also verified that they could feel him flex the quad slightly. Just a small indication but it is a move in the right direction.

Katy Rennie from southeast Kansas was able to sit in a chair yesterday for three hours. That is a huge step. Keep her in your prayers.

Chris Henderson is improving in a Tulsa Rehab center. Keep him in your prayers.

We also ask you to pray for our friends that have been with us here at Craig. Ashley, Keith, Dale, Tony, Marshon, Nathan, Nathan from Alaska, Addie and all the others in the halls and rooms of Craig hospital.

Tomorrow is Hobie Cat day. The whole hospital goes to a small lake and they take them on Hobie Cat sailboats. So it will be a break from therapy although I think Peter wants all the physical therapy he can get while here.

As we enter our last week here at Craig, I ask that you keep praying for Peter and visualize in your minds that God’s healing powers are going through Peter.
Mark16:17,18: And these signs shall follow those who believe….they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

God bless all of you
He will walk again
