Tonight's Affirmation: Prayers Work. We need them. Do. Not. Stop.

Tonight's nurse is a bit salty, and not in a good, potato chips way. She's direct, but her compassion skills are less than desirable. Good thing there are not comment cards here. My pen would be on FIRE.

We got a touch of questionable news tonight, but we can't take it seriously until morning. Nothing to report, because nothing is confirmed. Thanks to Mom's friend Dr. Andy (last name withheld) for setting me straight on some facts. What it's really done is give Mom and I the strength to stand up and fight for our right to know. We will meet with a neurosurgeon first thing in the morning, if I have to tackle him linebacker style in the hallway.

Tomorrow is Sunday, the understood day of faith in the Christian community. Put Dad's name on every prayer list you can get your hands on. Twice if they'll let you. Once you've hit your own church, drive up to another one and put him there. He needs all of them, despite our little victories throughout this week.

Dad, Mom and I are all fighters, and we will prove it this weekend. Make no mistake: he WILL wake up, he WILL recognize our faces, and he WILL walk out of here.

I will never stop believing that.

  1. God Bless! I totally agree that he WILL only get better and better, and you know how right I always am. Careful of those neurosurgeons, make sure you're wearing a padded bra if you take one down. It will help with the fall AND can't hurt your case. See you soon, dear! -Corinne
