11:15 Stephen is still resting well and his blood pressure is staying in the higher 30's on his diastolic and around 170 on his systolic. He doesn't have a fever. They had to stop feeding him as he is having trouble digesting his food. They ran a CT Scan today just to be sure a tracheotomy wasn't possible. Unfortunately, it verified Stephen has major arteries that would be super high risk for the surgery. We are still set up to meet with a group of doctors on Wednesday morning. Please pray that something will be revealed that can help Stephen recover from this round of sickness. He has been on the ventilator for 18 days now. - Jeff

    Peace and blessing to you all.
    When Danny and I were there on Thursday night we told the nurses just to continue what they doing and we were going to pray and one of them said if was alright she would pray with us and she put her hand on Stephen and prayed very softly as we prayed outloud...
    And the way they were caring for him you have thought that he is the very favorite son of the King of Kings...
    We are praying for God to show His healing power and His loving kindness and mercy.

    "The Armor of God"
    our struggle is not against flesh and blood...
    put on the full armor of God...
    so you may be able to stand your ground...
    Stand firm then...
    with the belt of truth...
    the breastplate of righteousness...
    readiness from the gospel of peace...
    shield of faith...
    the helmet of salvation...
    sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    And we will all stand with you.
    John and Faye Rhodes

  2. Jeff and Myra,
    We continue to pray for God's Grace and Healing for Stephen. Jesus is still the great Physician and He is more than able!
    We also pray for your strength and endurance to see both of you through this difficult time.

    Danny, Connie and John Adams
