Praise God!

Praise God! We got this email this morning from the girl at church who has been sending update emails to the church body. I'm so excited and I wanted to share with you the awesomeness of our great God! :)

In Exodus 17, Aaron and Hur held up Moses' arms so that Joshua would overcome the Amalekite's.

We are, in essence, doing the same exact thing for Miles! Through your prayers, Miles has been sustained! Tommy and Amber are literally overwhelmed with all of the people who are praying for and showing concern for their little guy. The wanted us to THANK YOU for continued prayer. There have been so many wonderful reports of people praying and they are SO encouraged and thankful! Yesterday one of the nurses said that Miles has far exceeded their expectations since being off the ECMO. Yeah for God and his praying people!!! Tommy and Amber are constantly giving God the glory to any and all who will listen.
He had a great day yesterday, praise the Lord! He has transitioned well off of ECMO. They are thinking about putting him on a different ventilator today, one that would give him deeper breaths. He also has some tests today to assess his current condition. He will have an ultrasound to see if the blood has been absorbed into his body from the brain bleed earlier. He also has an EKG to measure the pressure in his lungs and heart valves, which will indicate to what degree his lungs are healing. They have been easing off of the paralytic meds today, too, so he may start moving on his own soon. And they are going to ease him into tiny amounts of Amber's milk to see how his gut reacts. So today is a big day for prayer!
Here are specific requests from Tommy and Amber (We ask big things because God is a BIG God!):
1. That the ultrasound would show that all of the blood from the brain bleed has been absorbed into his body.
2. That the EKG would show significant improvement in his lungs.
3. That he will not sustain any permanent damage as a result of this trauma.
4. That he will continue to heal perfectly and completely.
THANK YOU!!! He still has a very long way to go, but with God all things are possible!!!
