This morning's update

Dustin may have a little pneumonia and they have started him on antibiotics. He is breathing on his own with a little help from something called CPAP and some oxygen.

My walk was great - 40 min. Also found bus center and bus. Rick and Anita appeared to have followed me as I walked . Felt like it was my first day at school. Will be talking to the social worker today regarding plans for rehab and transportation.

The doctor came by after a 3 day vacation and took an x-ray to check results of surgery. Will get results later. Seemed confident that all was well. Dustin apparently is back on his favorite nocturnal schedule. The nurse said he was awake a lot of the night and now hard to keep awake this morning.

We went to Niven Drybrough's church out in a little town yesterday where we got a message on "offenses" and the Pastor Anita shared her testimony and walking away from the things of the enemy and marching towards the things of God. We had an authentic lunch of New Mexican food and then to the hospital. We are all sick of restaurant food so had our first meal at our 12 seater table last night.

We slept well for our first night in our fancy loft. Very fancy but certainly a man designed it as it totally lacks functionality. We continue to be blessed. Please pray that Dustin's inner spirit man rises up to not let this thing defeat him. Let him look at it as an opportunity to create something that will turn the world upside down!!

We love you all dearly and appreciate every single prayer.

Dustin's progress is nothing short of amazing! Believing he will be a walking, talking, video-shooting miracle soon.
