OH WHAT A DAY WE HAVE HAD!
Praise The Lord!  Dennis got to come home last night.  God has been soooo good to us.
The doctors and Dennis felt that he would get better care and rest at home.  :)  He came home with ten medications, a big headache, multiple skeleton fractures, and a sick eye, BUT NO seizures, no brain damage, no more bleeding on the brain, and fully working kidneys!  We have so much to be thankful for!  We have lots of healing to still see happen and surgeries to face in the weeks ahead.  I have to set alarms all night long and wake him to take all of his medications, but all is well.  It is so good to have my husband and Meg's daddy home!

We saw the top eye surgeon at Loma Linda Med. Ctr. today.  After much testing, the doctor was amazed at his progress.  He said his healing has been a total miracle from God.  His eye is healing well and his sight is returning.  PTL!  Each day, Dennis' blue eyes are returning more and more to me.  

While at Loma Linda Medical Center this afternoon, my brother Bill called and got through to me while with the eye surgeon.  He called to say his wife and daughter, Becca, had been in a terrible car accident with a drunk driver.  He had been called by someone who witnessed the accident.  They were both being taken to LL Med. Ctr. by ambulance.  Friends came and took Dennis home, and I got over to the all too familiar emergency room waiting for the ambulance to arrive.  After a difficult wait for them to be examined and x-rays, they are beat-up a bit, but will be just fine.  Their car has been totaled, but once again God was faithful and protected them from what could have been a devastating outcome.  The drunk driver hit their CRV going about 60 mph, broad siding the driver's side of the car.  How amazing is our God? 

How great it is to belong to Jesus.  He never ceases to amaze us!  God is our refuge and our strength.  He is our ever present help in time of need.  Thank you God!

Please keep the prayers coming!  We love you all and so feel your love, support, and prayers.
God Bless You!
Mendy, Megan, and Dennis
