Wow, what a day! They took Jesse off the ventilator this morning. Later, he woke up and talked with us a little bit. He pronounced his full name to the nurse and recognized several family members and his girlfriend. He talked with a few of us briefly. He's still really groggy, but what an improvement. The nurse said he's up to GCS 15, which means the coma is completely over.
We heard today how amazing this recovery is — when Jesse was admitted, his brain image was indistinguishable from that of a dead person. The type of injury he had (can't remember the name) is usually lethal. The neurosurgeon called it a miracle. I concur!
Praise God, Jesse is visibly better.
Please pray that Jesse continues to heal, and that he heals completely. There are still several hurdles ahead, including a risk of infection.
For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
