MIchael's Quest

Today was a very good day for Michael, the best day so far!

 

By the way, I want to say this, I love my son!  I love my son Michael, I've always been so proud to be Michael's dad.

 

Okay to the update...  Today started with Michael's ICP rating continuing to fall. ICP is Inter-Cranial Pressure, normal is 1-3, I've been told there are times when a healthy person's will get to 10 or so.  Michael's was as high as 39, it's been falling little by little but today it was consistently around 15 or lower. This was GREAT!  Even better today was the first time he has responded at all extremities.  Both hands and both feet responded to pain tests, he responded to a cough test as well.  When I touched his eye lash he moved his head to the side. This doesn't mean that he is "awake" but his brain is responding.  Thank you God! This is great progress, although I am reminded daily that there is often a step back for every couple steps forward.  Today seems to be just forward steps! We are a long ways from being “out of the woods” but we took a couple steps closer to the edge of the trees today.  I thank God for today. Again we are to expect days that will not be so good, but I'm thankful for today.

 

I expect a miracle, I accept God’s will and God's plan.

 

Ephesians 3:20-21

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all ages, forever and ever. Amen.

Hey Michael, When you see this you will know how much we all care and love for you. I'm just about to cry but I don't think I'm going to because I'm a guy. I've been praying 24/7 for you and I know you man, you're the strongest person I know, both mentally and physically. God will always be there for you, for you're pain, you're enjoyments, and everything else in life. When you read this give me a call and we'll do something together[probably watch Back to the Future] lol, anyways man I just wrote this to let you know that you're life is one of the best one's I have seen in my life. I know that because you have a Dad who loves you more than any man could love his son, and a Girlfriend who would give the world up just to spend one second with you, and also you're friends, who are right next to you every step through your life. I'm praying for you and everyone else in this world. Michael, you are truly a gift from God, the genuine deal. When you read this we'll have lunch together and get caught up on both of our lives. May God bless you and you're family and friends for the rest of eternity and welcome home! -with all sincerity, -Jon Packard
