Thanksgiving

Thank you all so much for your prayers and concern and excouragement.

An update on Preacherman:

They think they've stopped the progression of the Guillian-Barre' Syndrome with a drug called IVIG (Intravenous Immune Globulin). Thank God they actually have treatment for this now. When he had this 25 years ago, the only option was to wait.

I really think that he has a great purpose here for God because he has been reminded more than once just how precious the gift of our lives is. It sort of puts the important things into the right place on the to-do list, doesn't it?

He had a bad day yesterday. Kinney has always suffered from severe migraine headaches, but the treatments seem to be giving Kinney those headaches, too. We were told that this might happen, so we were prepared. Today at 4p.m. is his last treatment and I pray that this will stop his headaches for a while so he can begin rehab.

He will be moved to the rehab floor on Monday and will be given rehab for 3 hours a day everyday. He cannot walk or use his hands well, but he is using them better than before the treatments began. He will have to relearn how to do everything again. It will be a long road, but I think God will be glorified in it.

Please bless us with your prayers,

Love to you all,

Mrs. Preacherman

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Preacherman,

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the measure of progress Kinney has had thus far.

May God continue to bring health and healing. May your hearts be comforted and strengthened. May you experience a complete and rapid recovery. May you feel and know the God's power and presence in you lives each day.

Grace and peace,

PTL for the recovery so far and I pray our gracious LORD and Great Physician continue to heal Kinney to full recovery. I also plead that your strength be there for you as you await Kinney's full recovery! And I praise Him for the signs of return to full good health!

I'd almost wish you'd been visiting Abilene so I could give you face-to-face support, Mrs. preacherman - to be able to offer you a place for occasional respite. Im sure you are on a 24/7 watch with your dear husband. I am in Abilene and if there is anything I can do for you here, please do not hesitate to let me know!!

Everyone, Thank you.

Wade, I appreciated your last call and hope to hear from you again soon. He was also really encouraged by talking to you. Give our love to Gretchen & the Kids.

Kathy, It will be a while until I'm in Abilene, but I would love to see you.

Preacher is one of the best encouragers that I have ever known. He has that gift.

I now pray that there are plenty around you who return encouragement to you in these times.
