Jeremy is better after experiencing several breathing treatments. The surgeon gave instructions for him to not be forced to get up or do anything more than his breathing treatments and sleep today. Already, he seems to be quite a bit more alert and interactive. We sat for a little while and read trivial pursuit cards until I was falling asleep reading. I then left to take a quick nap in the waiting room and Jason went in to visit with him and help him pass the time. He is now on his second round with the CPap machine and will have it on for 4 hours. He is getting more oxygen and it is very obvious that the body was in dire need of it. Your prayers are being heard, so keep lifting him up.
I will try to post one more after I visit with him tonight and I hope it is to tell you "good night" and not another long night of testing and such. We are already making arrangements for the rest of the family's return. Jeremy's father and step-mother left today to return to Kentucky. The will be recuperating and returning to their schedule tomorrow. Pray for them in this transition. Jason, Rachel, Dad, & Emma will either return Friday or Saturday, depending on Jeremy's status tomorrow. Pray for Emma. She will be separated from Jeremy and me for several days. So far, her schedule upon return is already filling up thanks to a smattering of volunteers.
I hope you are all doing well. I am good. I am resting when I can. I know that tonight will be better. Pray that Jeremy gets continued rest and that the beeping is minimal in his room. His oxygen saturation monitor keeps failing to identify his levels, and when it is struggling, it beeps. Pray that it just quits.

Please let me know if I can help in anyway with the girls. I'm sure Hayden and Payton would love to have someone else to play with. I'm home everydaywith them so it would be no trouble.

The service went well tonight. You would have been pleased. You are in our hearts and on our minds all day. So glad things appear to be better. We want you home but we want you well. We know God is working and we'll continue to pray. Love you both. ES
Jodi, you are so amazing (Jeremy is too). Our prayers are wilth you all - try to get some rest. Be careful of too much Starbucks...remember, when you get home we live kind of far from one! Mika
Jodi: I wanted to let you know that Shelly and I are praying for yall. I got to talk to Jeremy a few weeks ago on the phone and it was good to hear what God is doing in and through you guys in Hayden! We are praying Ephesians 3:20 for you and Jeremy, and yes, we are daring to ask and hope for complete and total healing, complete and total peace for you and your precious children, and that God will do even abundantly beyond that, because it is HIS mighty power at work in us!
We love you guys,
Chason & Shelly Farris
