From Joan - Dwight's Mom
(Note: All times within this update are in the Mountain Time zone.)

We are still at North Suburban Hospital. -- in room 224. When the Dr. at Craig [Rehab Hospital] found out Dwight was in ICU he wanted to 'wait' until his repiratory and tube feeding are stable. When I left at 9:30 he sounded well and was coughing very little. He is tolerating the tube feeding, I guess. Please pray that "ALL" stays stable and that he can go to Craig in the morning. IF he is stable for 24 hrs out of ICU (which began at 11 a.m.) then they will call and have Craig come get him. Craig is MIRACULOUSLY holding his bed!!!!!

Joe returned to KS today via United. Arrived safely. Please pray that he can 'concentrate' on work ... he will begin the weekend trips again this weekend. Please pray for safety as he travels.

Craig's visiting hours are M-F 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. And on Sat and Sun they are 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Not as open and flexible as the hospitals ..... they will be doing a LOT of therapy etc and when not in therapy they want him to be 'quiet' and un-stimulated.

We have graciously been loaned a van until we can get Dwight's car repaired. Please pray that we can and that the cost will be minimal (ha - do car repairs and low cost go together )

We continue to be grateful for all the prayers ... it is the prayers of God's people and His Grace that is helping us make it ..... I could not survive otherwise!!!!!!!!!

Will keep you posted and will send out the address and phone number of Craig Rehab when we get it. Oh - you can go online and look up [ www.craighospital.org ] and can get an 'online' tour of the facility.

Still resting in God's hand .... joan for us 4
