Support for SonofaGreenCard & Family

Thank you Father for blessing and watching over GC and his family.  Thank you for his continued healing and for uniting his family once again.  Thank you for this community and their patience with GC's updates.

GC is doing well in rehabilitation.   The evaluation of his level of communication skills is almost normal.  He started at a lower level and is now ALMOST normal.  His eyesight is still in the process of being healed.  He has a therapy for that happening concurrently as well.  The expectation is that GC will be able to move out of rehab somewhere in the second half of December but he won't be with his family YET.  He will be living in an apartment with therapy but he will be able to spend time in the house with his family and start integrating back into family life so that's exciting.  The next major thing is that his trache will be removed tomorrow or the day after.  Everything else was previously removed so this is the last thing to go.  As previously mentioned, the improvements now are all on a therapy level.   It is an intimate and private process.  Also, the family is attempting to have a 'normal' holiday season for the children.  There was Thanksgiving, then there will be Christmas and other family events.  GC's wife is even busier now as she helps the children adjust to a totally different state.  GC's trajectory is in a very good direction but there is still healing to be done.  The family is very grateful for all the support this community has given in prayers, donations and all other forms of support.  Thank you for your patience on the updates over the last few weeks.  We will most likely not have another update unless there is something major to report.  The plan currently is for the next update to come from GC!  We just aren't sure when that is going to be. If he moves out of rehab and is STILL not online, we will provide you with an update of his move.  As a belated thanksgiving, thank you to each and every one of you.  The family is very grateful for all of you.

Dear Father, we pray for the children to adjust and enjoy their temporary new home. We pray for GC to heal COMPLETELY and live a happy, long life with them.  We pray that GC is able to go home and be well and able to perform at work once again and do all the things he enjoys as a Father, Husband, Son, Contributing member of society and Brother to so many. We pray for his family to be reunited under one roof again joyfully.

Thank you once again to everyone.  Some of you have experienced this process of brain trauma with friends and family.   Although there isn't as much to overtly share, now the work is on GC and he is a very private person.  We knew he would not be pleased with us sharing so much from the start but we also knew there was a community that cared about him and would want to be there.  He is very much awake now and almost back to himself so we want to give him the chance to share what he wants to share.  However, we also love all of you for all your prayers and support. It's a fine line we've had to walk. As he is almost back to himself now, we will let the next update be his.

Dear Father, thank you for all the miracles you have bestowed upon GC and his family.  We are grateful and continue to be humbled at the healing GC has experienced.  

GC did well following his surgery.  So far, he's watched a movie; eating normal foods again; and his eye sight has improved.  He can still remember everyone following the surgery but for some reason, the memory of the accident comes and goes. A couple of days ago, when his therapist saw him, she was very pleased. She graded him at 22. the normal is 25-35.  He also played uno with his speech therapist which is a great demonstration of his critical thinking skills and brain function.  Today, he moved out of ICU and is back on the rehab floor.  They removed the drain tube that he needed after surgery.  The next step now is to remove the trache and peg tube.  The family imagines that will happen soon since he is eating regular food now.

GC's wife and kids are still healing. They are better but aren't one hundred percent yet.  However, they will all be flying tomorrow night and they will arrive on Saturday.

Dear Father, please watch over GC and heal him completely.  Please also continue to bless and protect GC and his family in every way.  Please watch over his family as they travel to him. Please allow all of them to have a peaceful, happy travel experience and stay in their temporary home.  Please heal GC's family so that they are well and strong for their travel and so that they may see him soon.  As always Lord, please bless all your children who have so dedicatedly prayed for and supported GC and his family during this time.

Dear Father, Thank you for the many blessings as you protect and bless GC and his family. Thank you for the children you have sent to surround and shower GC and his family with prayers.

First of all, thank you for your patience.  GC's wife would like to thank you for understanding that as she is currently not physically with GC, she doesn't always have the updates and she has been overloaded.   Other events (outside of GC and his family) have also delayed these updates from being shared. So, here is a catchup.

Tuesday was an intense day for GC.  Due to the medical condition, they had to do some tests which lasted approximately six hours.  Further, GC was feeling tremendous discomfort that was causing him to not be able to eat.  His dad spent the night with him so he wasn't alone.  Wednesday was better.  He had to have another surgery today.  The surgery lasted approximately 4+ hours.  It was an exploratory surgery in his brain but they went in via his nose.  They found the cause of the issues and have resolved them.  He will spend the next two days sedated so that he lies flat and doesn't move.  He is in the ICU now following the surgery.

The rest of GC's family were supposed to fly yesterday. Unfortunately, his wife and kids woke up sick and weren't able to fly.  Since this also means that they won't be allowed to see GC for a couple of weeks, they've postponed their flight and will only be flying to the state of his rehab center next week.  The good news is they are packed.  Bad news is, it will be a little longer before they can see their husband/dad/son.

Dear Father, we pray that GC heals completely from his surgery and in totality.  We pray for protection and blessings over GC and his family.  We pray for GC's wife and children to recover completely and be in perfect health.  We pray for a smooth journey to see GC and for them to be able to see him soon.  As always Father, we ask for blessings for your children who have prayed for and supported GC during this time.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers. Once again, apologies for the delay in the update.  It was the perfect storm over the last week.  As GC's wife won't be with him for a little bit longer, there will likely still be some delays.  Thank you for your patience.

Thank you Father for the miracles you have bestowed upon GC and that we were blessed enough to witness them. Thank you for finding GC's family a place to stay at during his recovery.  Thank you for watching over, protecting and blessing GC and his family during this time.   As always Father, we give thanks for your children who you have sent to pray over and support GC and his family during this time.

GC had a few medical issues creep up which the medical team has assured the family are not as scary as they sound. He continues however, to make progress on his physical and speech therapy. He has moved into the rehabilitation center now.  The family is continuing to make preparations for their trip and will be there next week so the countdown is on.  GC's children will not be able to see him in his room but he will be able to spend time with them in other areas of the center.  They are excited about the prospect of being reunited with GC. The prayers for the family right now are for GC's healing and for the children to be happy and at peace in the new temporary 'home'.

Father, we continue to pray for GC to heal to completion.  We pray for his family to safely join GC and to be able to settle into their temporary home comfortably.  We pray for GC and his family to be protected and blessed during their journey and time away from home.  We continue to pray for all those who have prayed for and supported GC and his family during this time.

Thank you to everyone.  GC's family continue to receive the prayer messages and the prayers are always appreciated and felt.

Dear God, we thank you for the healing you have bestowed on GC.  We give thanks for the grace you have shown us and taught us.  Thank you Father for blessing and protecting GC and his family.  We continue to give thanks for your children who you have sent to pray for and support GC and his family.

As GC continues to heal, the improvements have become more nuanced.  Yesterday, GC was able to walk without a walker with some assistance for a short distance down a corridor.  That was tremendous and exhausting but he did it. He can get up off a chair on his own now with minimal assistance.  Again, it takes effort but he is doing it.  He is eating actual food now ON HIS OWN!  He does it slowly and carefully but he can do it!  It has been 7.5 weeks since his accident.  God is truly in action here.

Father, we pray for GC to continue to heal all the way to completion.  We continue to pray for GC and his family's protection and blessings.  Father, please guide GC as he works hard at rehabilitation.  Also, please guide his family as they continue to make decisions and travel.  We pray for his children to be at peace, feel your love and be safe.  We continue to pray for the beautiful souls who continue to pray for GC and his family.

Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers and messages!  As GC's wife is not currently with him and due to the nuanced updates, we will probably be doing updates every other day.   However, if there is anything large or momentous to share, we will post an update sooner.

Thank you Father for all the miracles big and small. Thank you for all the healing GC has received.  Thank you for all these beautiful children of light who have surrounded GC and his family with prayer, love and support. We praise you Lord in all things and we share this story of GC's healing as a testament of your greatness.

Day 2 of therapy went well. GC is still in the medical center waiting for a bed to open up in the rehabilitation center. However, it's possible a bed will open up tomorrow.  It's been TWO whole days of not having to wear a hospital gown and he's starting to feel and look more himself.  I had mentioned in one of the previous updates that he sometimes gets words confused but that was a sign of his brain healing.  He is thinking a lot more clearly now so his healing is continuing.  And today, his family found a house!  So that is incredibly exciting.  GC's family will be joining him in a week and a half. In the meantime, his Dad is there supporting him and getting things ready for the rest of the family to get there.  His children are VERY excited to be seeing Daddy soon.

Dear Father, we pray for GC to heal fully and completely.  We continue to pray for blessings and protection for GC and his family.  We continue to pray for blessings for all your children who have prayed for and supported GC and his family during this time. 

Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers.  God has truly heard them.  No prayer has been too big or too small.  Thank you for helping GC and his family with prayer and your messages this whole time.

Thank you God for continuing to bless and heal GC in such wondrous ways.  Thank you for blessing and protecting GC's family and guiding them through significant decisions and their travel.  We praise your name God.  We continue to thank you for all those everywhere who have prayed and supported GC and his family through this time.

Apologies for not having an update yesterday so this will be a little bit of a catchup.  GC did great yesterday.  His trache was capped so now he can speak without issues.  As of yesterday, he was also (finally!) able to eat regular food! Meat, potatoes and veggies.  He is able to shower now and free to walk and move around his room with assistance.   Today, GC started his therapy and it went great! He is now feeling well enough to feel emotions such as boredom (LOL).  He was also finally able to start wearing regular clothes (as opposed to a patient gown)!

Dear God, we just want to thank you again. You are so good and so great and we are humbled to have witnessed these miracles.  Father, we pray that GC continues to heal all the way through to completion.  We continue to pray for the protection and blessings of GC and his family.  We pray that his family is able to find the perfect temporary home for whatever time they have to be there for.  We pray that the travel goes smoothly and safely.  Father, we pray that GC, his wife and children are reunited under one roof soon and are able to live the rest of their lives together happily and in perfect health.  We continue to pray for blessings for all your children everywhere who have supported GC and his family with prayers, messages, donations or assisted in some other way.

Thank you all for still being here and reading these messages.  Thank you for continuing to pray for GC and his family. Your prayers have meant a lot to GC's family through all this.

Dear Father, thank you for loving us so much and for the miracles you continue to perform on GC.  Thank you for watching over his family so that they arrived home safely.  Thank you for continuing to heal him.  We give thanks for these children of light whom have prayed for GC and his family during this entire time.

The rehabilitation center said that often times when patients with a brain injury arrive there, they are confused and sad. They do not see this in GC.  Considering how well he is doing physically as well, they are moving him straight out of the medical center into rehabilitation.  That cuts down on the time he will be there for.  The expectation is now that it will be months of rehabilitation and not a year.

Dear God, thank you for continuing to heal GC in such miraculous ways.  We pray for a full and complete recovery for GC in every way.  We continue to pray for blessings and protection for GC and his family through their travels and during this time of his healing.  We pray for GC, his wife and children to be united soon under one roof and for their family to be stronger in love and Your light than ever before.  We continue to pray for all Your children who have surrounded GC and his family with prayer and support from the start.

Thank you to ALL of you who have been consistently praying and supporting GC and his family.  Thank you as well to your friends, families and churches who may not even know GC and his family and have been praying for him.  We are all blessed to have witnessed God in action and we thank you for your prayers for we know...

" For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.' Matthew 18:20

Dear Father, we know it is the quiet moments where you do the most work on us.  We thank you for all the blessings and healing you have given GC and his family.   We continue to give thanks for these beautiful souls who have surrounded GC and his family with prayer and support.

This is a no update update.  GC's wife and children have been driving home all day today. It's been a long drive and they are exhausted. However, they should be home shortly. GC is safe and comfortable at the rehabilitation center. 

Father, please bless and protect GC and his family.  We pray for his full and complete healing in all ways.  We pray that he will be able to go home in full health and be able to live life the way he wants to with his wife and children.  Please watch over the family and guide them to the perfect temporary home.  We continue to ask for blessings for all your children who have prayed for and supported GC and his family during this time.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers, donations and support.   The prayer messages are still going to GC's wife daily and she enjoys reading them as much as he enjoys receiving them.

Thank You Father for watching over GC and his family.  We praise you God in all things.  We give thanks for the miraculous healing that we have seen through GC.  We thank you for getting GC into the rehabilitation center of his family's choice.  We are very grateful for the children of light you sent to pray for and over GC and his family during this time.

A short update but we wanted you to know that GC arrived safely at the rehabilitation center.  It was a long flight with multiple stops as it was not a large aircraft and needed to refuel several times.  GC is comfortable in his room at the rehabilitation center now.  The center will be his last stop before he gets to go home. How soon he gets to go home to be reunited with his family under one roof depends on how quickly he heals.

Dear Father, we pray for GC's continued healing.  We pray that he will heal fully and completely in every way.  Father, we continue to pray for the protection and blessings of GC and his family.  We pray that they easily find a temporary home that is convenient to the rehabilitation center, safe and affordable.  We pray for GC's children Lord, that they will easily transition to their new environment and that they are safe and feel comfortable and happy.  Father, we continue to pray for all Your Beautiful Children who have prayed for and supported GC and his family in numerous ways.

Thank you to everyone for continuing to keep GC and his family in your hearts. As the saying goes, it's not how you start, it's how you finish.  This next chapter determines GC's quality of life for the rest of his life with his family when he goes home.  Thank you for your continued prayers.

Our Father, we have so much to praise you for. We praise your healing of GC as quickly as you have in such dramatic ways. We praise the strength you have given GC and his family through this time.  We praise the shield of protection you have placed around them.  We praise the way you have orchestrated every event and healing.  We praise the number of people you have allowed to bear witness to these miracles.  We praise that today is GC's last day in the hospital.

Today, is ANOTHER huge day! There have been so many but it doesn't make them any less momentous.  Today, is GC's last day in the hospital. It has been six weeks.  We can say with great certainty that during the last six weeks, the miracles that have taken place have shocked the medical team.  GC and his family have shown the hospital what faith can do.  He spent his last day in the hospital with his children, his wife and his parents.  He was exhausted today. His flight leaves late tonight and he will be in his rehab center tomorrow.  GC and his wife and children will be separated for some time whilst the search for a temporary home takes place.  However, each step brings him closer to going home and being reunited with his family under one roof.

Dear Father, tonight we once again pray for safe travels for GC and his Dad to his rehabilitation center. It is a long journey but we know you will be with them.  We pray for the safe journey of the rest of his family as they make their way home. We pray that they easily find the perfect temporary home and will reunite sooner rather than later. We pray that you continue to protect and bless GC and his family through their travels and relocation.  We pray for blessings for the thousands of your children who have prayed for GC and his family.  

Thank you once again to everyone who have supported GC and his family with prayers, messages, donations and good thoughts.  We know these miracles were made possible with God's love and your support.

Dear Father, Thank you for your continued healing of GC.  Thank you for having these miracles seen so that they may inspire, give hope and renew the faith of your children. We give thanks for the wonderful Angels you have sent to GC - both heavenly and here on earth.  We know that you are not yet done with your miracles and we give thanks for all the miracles to come.  We also thank you Father for the love, faith and support of your children of light.

Today, GC walked out of his room and down the hall!  His transfer from the hospital to the rehabilitation center is happening tomorrow night!  It will be a long flight with many stops along the way.  The staples in his head are coming out tomorrow and his breathing tube will be removed in a few days.  GC is talking, remembering and asking questions.  He tried getting out of the bed, on his own several times today.  He is excelling in speech therapy and physical therapy.

Dear God, today we pray for GC to heal all the way to completion in every way.  We continue to pray for the protection, blessings, faith, love and peace of GC and his family.  We pray for a safe journey from his hospital to the rehabilitation center. We pray that GC's family finds the perfect temporary home there that is safe and comfortable. We pray for all who have prayed for GC and his family and we wish blessings on them Lord.  

Thank you as always to all who have prayed for or supported GC and his family in any way.  GC's family truly believes that your prayers were monumental in his healing.  They could feel them from the very start.  

And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20

Dear God, thank you for healing GC in such miraculous ways.  Thank you for teaching us the power of faith. Thank you for allowing the many witnesses of GC's healing so that they too would know you and your greatness.  We praise your name as we continue to see and hear of GC's progress.  We continue to bless all those who have prayed for and supported GC and his family during this time.

GC is able to pull his hospital pants up and tie them without issues.  Today, he walked with the walker and assistance for a few steps.  He saw his daughter and tried to pick her up on to the bed.  He's doing great today.  His brain is still healing so sometimes he communicates with the 'wrong' words but that is just part of the brain healing process.  The word of GC's miraculous recovery in such a short time has spread throughout the medical staff at the hospital.  

Dear Father, we pray today for the continued healing of GC.  We pray for him to heal totally and completely as quickly as possible.  We continue to pray for GC, his parents, his wife and children, his in-laws protection, for blessings to be rained down upon them, for them to feel at peace and loved.  We pray for his children to feel safe, secure, loved and feel Jesus with them always.  We continue to pray for all those in this community who have prayed and supported GC and his family during this time.

Thank you to all for continuing to shower GC and his family with prayers. GC and his family completely believe in the power of prayer and can feel your prayers.  The prayer messages continue to bring comfort and joy to GC and his family. God bless all of who have prayed for GC and his family and supported them.

God bless all of who have prayed for GC and his family and supported them.

Dear Father, we have had so many big and momentous milestones and miracles.  However, we want to thank you for the little miracles which are the biggest blessings.  We thank you for all the moments that GC and his family are able to share together now.  We thank you for the hugs and the smiles; for the words and the hand holding; for the planning of their lives together; and for the living of their lives together.  Thank you God for the blessing of these beautiful souls that have prayed for GC and his family every day since September 7th.  We praise you God and we thank you.

Today, GC was able to spend time with his children again.  He saw them one at a time again.  They were able to hold each other and enjoy each other's company.  They will be separated again for weeks soon.  However, today, they were able to be with one another.  GC is doing well.  His family continue to be busy making plans for the temporary relocation.  His brain continues to heal and there will be work at the rehabilitation center.  However, things are in motion now and having GC leave the hospital will be a big milestone.

Dear Father, we are at crossroads once again as GC journeys back to full health.  We know that you could heal him completely in an instant.  We know that with each passing day, you are healing and teaching lessons not just to GC but to those who are witnessing these miracles.  We pray that you continue to protect, bless and heal GC and his entire family.  We pray that GC will be healed completely and he may return home feeling healthy and strong and able to enjoy his children, wife and parents fully. We pray for his sweet children as they are moved to another state. We continue to bless all your beautiful children who have prayed for and supported GC and his family.

Thank you to all for your prayer messages. They mean a great deal.  The work is not done and the prayer messages are still greatly appreciated.  GC and his family are still going through a tremendous amount.  Please continue to keep GC and his family in your prayers.

Our Father, we humbly come before you with our thanks.  We praise your name and your miracles to all.  We know that the healing that GC has experiences could not have taken place without your intervention.  Thank you Father for lining up GC's rehabilitation center at a place where he could get the best care and his family could be supported.  Thank you for surrounding GC and his family with your children of light.

GC's  transportation flight to the state of his rehabilitation center has been confirmed. His father will accompany him to the rehabilitation center on the flight.  GC's wife and children will follow at a later date.  The logistics of finding a temporary home that is safe, close, affordable and comfortable for all of them begins.  GC is doing well and so is the family.  We don't know how long rehabilitation will take at the center.  The family is very busy with researching, planning, and setting up their temporary move.

Dear God, please continue to protect and bless GC, his wife, children, parents and in-laws.  We pray that GC will be completely and fully healed and be able to go home quickly from rehabilitation.  We pray that GC and his family feel your strength, keep the faith, be embraced by peace and be blessed with resources through this time.  We pray for protection, peace, joy and love for the children Father as they have been uprooted over the last month and will be moving even further away from their home soon.  We continue to wish blessings on all your children who have prayed for and supported GC and his family through this time.  We pray that the family finds the perfect home and that GC and his family are able to travel easily.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and prayer messages through this entire experience.  We thank you for asking your friends, family, churches to pray for GC.  Please provide them with updates as well so that they too may bear witness to the miracles that we have seen with GC. 

Our Father, thank you for watching over GC and his family during this time. We praise the healing you have done for him. We praise the miracles we have witnessed and you have granted GC and his family.  We thank you for watching over his GC and his family and providing them with the resources that they have needed.  We bless the beautiful children of light you have sent to pray over GC and his family.

GC is doing well and they will likely take out the breathing tube next week which means they believe he is breathing well enough to completely remove access to the ventilator.  And momentously, the administrative issues have been clarified!  GC will be checking into his rehabilitation center at the end of next week!  Now, there is much to be coordinated and organized with GC's transport and the family's transport, accommodation, etc. 

Dear God, we pray for GC and his family to easily coordinate the travel to the rehabilitation center.  We pray that they quickly find comfortable and safe accommodations that they can easily afford during their time there. We pray that GC is able to heal quickly and completely in all ways.  Our Father, we continue to pray for GC and his family to be protected, feel the faith, love, peace and have the resources they need during this time of healing and afterwards.  We pray for GC's sweet children as they experience great changes in their lives. We continue to bless all those that have prayed for and supported GC and his family during this time.

Thank you to everyone. We know that many of you prayed for the administrative issues to be cleared up and have prayed all along the way.  We are grateful for God's blessings and miracles. GC and his family are also grateful to all of you for your love and prayers.

Dear Father, thank you for watching over GC and for the many miracles of healing he has received. Thank you for the prayers and support from the thousands of people.

This is going to be another short update.  There is a lot going on administratively right now.  There is confusion in communication in organizing GC's rehab across the insurance, hospital and rehab center.  We hope that everything gets resolved soon. The administrative work of coordinating everyone weighs heavily on GC's family.

Father, we pray for GC's continued healing all the way to full health in every way.  We pray for GC and his family's health, protection, love, peace, faith and resources.  We pray for GC's sweet children - that they may be healthy, happy, safe and with both their parents soon.  We pray for GC and his wife and children to be together as a family living a happy, loving life together in peace once again.  We bless all those in this community who have supported GC and his family in any way.  We pray for the confusion to be resolved and for all the pieces to fall into place easily so that GC may begin rehab soon in the rehab center of the family's choice.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and messages.  We have heard many stories of the prayer warriors in this community having friends, families and churches praying for GC. GC and his family thank you ALL! 

Dear Father, thank you for the simple things made great by you.  Thank you for healing GC and for the continuing healing that you are performing on him in all ways. We praise the wonderful ways you orchestrate the miracles that have taken place in GC's healing.  We give thanks for your faithful children you have surrounded GC and his family with and for all their prayers and support.

Today's update is short but momentous.  GC saw his children today.  One at a time but they were able to spend time with each other.  Also, they are going to try to get him a smaller trache tube soon so he can talk more.

We pray for the continued healing of GC in all ways. We continue to pray for the protection, faith, peace, strength and resources for GC and his family. We bless all those who have prayed for and supported GC and his family.

Thank you to everyone that have sent their prayers, messages, donations and support to GC and his family.  Even when the updates are short, much is happening.  GC and his family continue to feel the comfort of your prayers and messages.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

We praise you God for the healing you have done for GC in all ways.  We praise you for your wisdom and love in bringing together this loving family to pray over and support GC and his family.  We give thanks for protecting and providing for GC and his family in all ways.

GC is ready to be transferred for rehab as soon as the family receives the approval.  The administrative part of the transfer is still needing alignment and confusion needs to be cleared up and people need to communicate clearly.  GC is cleared to leave ICU as soon as either he can be transferred or for him to be moved to a different floor. The wait right now is literally administrative (paper pushing).

We pray for confusion to be cleared up and people to communicate clearly.  We pray that GC's transportation happens quickly, smoothly and safely.  We pray that GC's family easily obtains what they need for the relocation to the state of the rehabilitation center.  We pray that it is an easy trip; the family finds the perfect home for their time there with the transportation they need. We pray for GC to be healed totally and completely in all ways.  We continue to pray for the protection, peace, faith, love, resources for GC and his family.  On behalf of GC's family, we bless all those who have prayed for and supported GC and his family during this time.

Thank you to everyone.  The thanks might seem repetitive day after day but the family is always sincerely grateful for all the support, prayers and messages.  Please accept our thanks for your messages and donations.  They mean more than can be expressed.

Dear Father, thank you for this miraculous day.  Thank you for all the healing you have performed for GC. Thank you for the support and love GC and his family have received from your children of light everywhere.  We praise your name and we continue to stand in awe of your miracles.

The administrative aspects are starting to fall into place now. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  There is still work to be done on that aspect until GC is transported to the rehabilitation center but the hospital, insurance company and rehabilitation center are finally on the same page.  We are now waiting for the hospital to say that it is safe for GC to travel and for him to discharge him. Once that happen, the rest of the pieces can start falling into place.  GC's family managed to find an air ambulance in network as well.  The logistics of the transportation to the state of the rehabilitation center is still a work in progress.

For more good news.  GC is now able to speak!  Also, they provided him with a support system so that he could take his first steps today!

Dear Father, we are so humbled by all you have done.  We continue to pray for GC to be healed totally and completely. We continue to pray for peace, strength, love, faith, joy and resources for GC and his family.  Also, Father, we would like to once again bless all those who have stayed by GC and his family's side.  We pray for them and their families.

Thank you to everyone for your continued outpouring of love and support. Thank you for being by GC and his family's side. Your prayers have given the family strength and comfort and we know they were heard by God as we witness the continuation of the miracles.

Dear Father, thank you for watching over GC and his family.  Thank you for protecting them in every way - spiritually, emotionally, physically.  Thank you God for giving them each other, this loving family and community to give them the strength to withstand these trials and tribulations. Thank you for watching over their sweet children and having your Angels watch over them and guide them through these confusing and difficult times.

The work is ongoing for the transfer to the rehabilitation center.  We hope to hear more definitive news in the next couple of days.  The rehabilitation center is ready for them. It is the administrative and logistical aspects of insurance and the transfer that are still being resolved.  The hospital has a plan to work to give him his voice back so that he can communicate.  GC very much wants to speak. Not being able to easily communicate with his loved ones is taxing in many ways.  The hospital is also working to give him a support brace to assist him in walking.  It may take a while for either of those items to take place.  In the meantime, he was ventilator free for most of today.

Dear God, we pray for peace, joy, faith, love, protection and comfort for GC and his family.  We pray that GC continues the healing process and heals all the way.  We pray that GC and his children will be able to hold each other soon so that the children may touch their Daddy and see him in person.  We pray that all transfer issues are resolved and the transfer goes smoothly, safely and peacefully.  We pray that GC has his voice back so that he may communicate and speak his thoughts and heart.  We bless all in the community who have prayed for and continue to pray for or donate to GC and his family.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and donations.  We mean it with all our hearts every single day.  Thank you for being there for GC and his family through this journey.  

Our Father, thank you for watching over GC and his family.  We know that your divine intervention works alongside divine timing and we we praise all the miracles you have lined up for GC's family.  Thank you for watching over all your children who have faithfully supported GC's family and continue to do so.  Thank you for great friends and family through this time.

GC is doing great post surgery.  His face is still swollen and he was on oxygen all night but he is doing well.  He even sat in a recliner.  The different parts of the puzzle are starting to come together for the transfer but the work is on-going to be able to get GC transferred to his rehabilitation center. It's now been a month since GC and his kids have been able to see each other in person.  ICU's don't allow children in unless it's to say goodbye so it's a double edged sword that they haven't been able to see their dad.

Our Father, we pray for all the pieces to easily fall into place for GC's transfer to the rehabilitation center; for the smooth, safe and peaceful transfer and relocation of his family to the state of the rehabilitation center; we pray for them to find the perfect home to live in during this time; and we pray that they easily obtain transportation for their time in the other state.  As always God, we pray for GC's continued healing so that he may be able to return to full health and be able to breathe easily without assistance 24/7 and regain full strength, mobility, ability to speak and breathe.  We bless all your loving children who have prayed tirelessly and faithfully through this time.

Thank you to all of you out there sending prayer messages; messages of any kind; praying and donating.  We hope that one day soon, you'll be able to hear directly from both Mr and Mrs GC.  In the meantime, your messages and prayers continue to touch the family and fill them with God's love.

Dear Father, thank you for watching over, protecting and blessing GC and his family.  Thank you God for filling them with courage, faith, perseverance, commitment and love.  Thank you for all these beautiful prayerful souls you have surrounded GC and his family with.  We praise every healing and miracle you have done for GC.  We give thanks for all the wonders and miracles we have witnessed.

Today is going to be a very short update.  GC is doing well.  He has been asking about everyone and wishing he could talk.  There have been a few more people from this community his wife asked him if he remembered and he remembers them fondly. 

We continue to pray for GC to be able to breathe easily on his own 24/7. We pray that his family is able to set up the transfer for him to the desired rehabilitation center.  We pray his family easily finds a house close to the rehabilitation center that meets their needs. We pray for his family to continue to have faith, strength, joy, peace and protection from all evil.  We also ask for blessings for all in the community who have prayed for, donated,or supported GC and his family in any way.

Thank you to all of you who continue to pray and/or send messages.  We are so very grateful for each and every one of you.   Please keep those prayer messages coming. It uplifts GC and his family.

Thank you God for protecting, healing and watching over GC and his family.  Thank you for this community of prayer warriors.  Thank you for the demonstration of your miracles and greatness through GC.

GC's surgery went perfectly and as planned.  It took approximately 7 hours.  He was coughing a lot in the morning and wasn't able to open his eyes.  Also, he had a fast heart rate so they put him on the ventilator to give him a break.  By early afternoon, he was more awake than they expected.  He was nodding and shaking his head.  He was also able to follow commands.  

We pray for GC's breathing to continue to improve so that he may be able to breathe unassisted 24/7.  We pray that the transfer is quickly and peacefully resolved so that GC's family can bring him to their desired rehabilitation center.  We pray that GC continues to heal all the way to perfect health.  We pray for GC and his family to have strength, peace, faith, joy and resources.  We also pray for all in this community and beyond who have prayed for and/or donated to GC and his family.

Thank you to everyone and for your outpouring of love and support.  The prayer messages continue to be read to GC everyday.  The messages mean a lot to both GC and his wife.

Our Father, thank you for recklessly loving GC.  Thank you for consistently showing us your greatness with one miracle after another.  We never tire of them and are grateful and praise your greatness every day.  We know that even on the days where our human eyes see few changes that you are preparing the next miracle.  Thank you for watching over GC, his family and all your prayer warriors who have prayed tirelessly and continue to do so.

GC's wife has been tirelessly working with different administrative aspects.  Currently, the work is in progress so that he can be transferred to the rehabilitation center.  There are challenges but we know God will clear the path.  GC went into surgery at 8pm Eastern. It will take approximately 7 hours. The surgery is for facial (not the whole face) reconstruction where bones were broken.  However, it was a good day for GC today.  His strength came back.  When the nurse tried to poke him (with a needle) to test his blood sugar, he yanked away and shocked her.  Towards the end of physical therapy, she asked him if he was ready to lay down.  GC spoke with his voice "I am getting there". His dad was shocked.  He used his arms to reposition himself to get comfortable.  When his dad said 'hi', he looked up and said 'hi'.  

He kissed his wife's hand today, listened to videos of his children and even goofed off for his wife and his mom.  He enjoys hearing all the prayer messages.

Dear God, today we pray that GC's surgery is going well.  We pray that his respiration will healthy and well functioning.  We pray for his complete and total healing.  We also continue to pray to fill his family with strength, faith, love, joy, peace and resources.  We pray that all of this community that have supported GC and his family be blessed 10 fold.

Thank you to all of you for your prayers, donations and messages. We have said for weeks that we believe GC appreciates them. As you can see from this update, now we can definitively say that he DOES appreciate them.  It means so very much.   God is great.  You are amazing.  Thank you from his family.

Thank you Father for all of our life's blessings.  Thank you for blessing GC with the miracles that you have bestowed.  We are continuously in awe of the healing his receiving and we praise you for each miracle we witness.

Today was a quiet day.  GC sat on the edge of his bed once again and is opening his eyes a lot more.  Otherwise, he was resting.

Dear God. we know that even in the silent, quiet moments, the healing continues.  We pray for his respiratory system to be fully healed. We pray for his brain to return to complete health.  We pray for GC to be healed in totality.  We also continue to pray for blessings of peace, resources, protection, healing, love, joy and strength for his family. 

Thank you to everyone sending prayers in especially those who have sent repeated prayer messages.  The prayers received today brought a tear to GC.  He hears them. We are sure he appreciates them and we know his family appreciates them.  God bless all of you for your prayers, donations and prayer messages.

Thank you Our Father for your compassion and reckless love of us and especially of GC during this time.  Thank you for putting your armor around his family.  We praise your wisdom in bringing such loving children into GC's life to support him and pray for him.

Today, GC sat on the edge of his bed lifting his legs to 180 degrees.  The nurse supported his head but he was lifting his legs on his own.  Also, the doctors said that there is a possibility that if insurance will approve it, the family will be able to transfer him to the rehabilitation center (out of state) next weekend (weekend of Oct 15).  This particular rehabilitation center is much closer to friends and family.  The family will have a stronger support system than another rehabilitation center that was an option.  His face surgery is scheduled for this Wed (Oct 15).  Also, his wife has been asking him if he knows certain people in the community and she introduces more names every day.  So far, he remembers everyone she has mentioned.

Dear God, we pray today to ask you to continue to heal GC.  Please heal his lungs so he may breathe entirely on his own.  Please heal his physiology so he can move on his own in every way.  Please heal all the parts of him that need healing.  Also, we pray that the insurance approves the rehabilitation center in this state so that GC and his family will be near friends and family. As always God, we pray for peace, love, protection, hope and faith for his family.  Please shield them from all evil.

Thank you once again for all your donations and prayer messages.  We repeat this often but probably not often enough. Those prayer messages mean so much and give such great comfort, joy and peace to his family.

We thank you God for showing us your love, power and healing through the miracles you are performing for GC.  Thank you for healing him so that he may live a long, happy, healthy life with his family. We praise the miracles you have already performed and we are humbled to be able to witness your glory.

The speech therapist did a test today and GC was able to mouth the numbers he saw on the paper.  That means he can see clearly.  Most of what the therapist asked him to do, he was able to do.  After seeing a video of his children, GC started to talk (the best he can).  He wants to talk.  They will be asking the speech therapist to return.  The medical team says he won't actually be able to speak until they change the tracheotomy slightly.   We believe they are giving him more time to rest and heal before they do that.

We pray for GC's speech to return easily to him; for him to heal completely and quickly.   We pray for his family to continue to receive and feel love, strength, peace, hope and joy. 

Thank you for the continued donations, prayers and prayer messages.  Thank you for all the support of the GC family.

Thank you God.  Our words cannot suffice in praising you.  We give thanks for for GC's continued miraculous healing.  We praise our Father's compassion, mercy and healing powers.  

GC remembers going to work and then nothing else. He does not remember the accident but remembers the morning of the accident.  GC asked his wife what happened and she shared the basics - that he had an accident and is now in the hospital healing.  She told him his only job right now is to get better.  In other news, he made it through the last few weeks with his sense of humor intact.  He has been making jokes (in nonverbal ways), making funny expressions, smiling, and even laughing (as best as he could).  His wife mentioned a couple of people from the community and he smiled when hearing their messages.  He remembers at least a couple of people from the community.  However, if he remembers a couple, it's likely he remembers everyone.   He isn't talking yet. He is communicating by nodding and shaking his head. He also has is eyes closed most of the time but opens them when requested.  

We pray for GC to heal fully; for his family to have rest, protection, support, resources, faith, hope, joy and love.  We pray for all in this community who have supported GC and his family through this time.

By special request, his wife has asked to let all those who send prayer messages know that they mean so much to her and give her tremendous comfort.  Some of the messages are funny and make her laugh.  Others are sincere and heartfelt and bring tears (in a good way).  Thank you again to all those praying, sending messages and donating.

"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind.  Is anything too hard for me?" Jeremiah 32:27

Thank you God for the continuous miracle of GC's healing.   Thank you for watching over GC's family during this time.  Thank you for filling them with strength, faith, hope, grace and love.  Thank you for these beautiful prayer warriors in the community.

Today was a HUGE day.  GC did everything the doctors and nurses asked of him.  He moved his hands and feet upon request.  He is also sucking from the suction tube to clear his mouth upon request.  Lastly, he is nodding and shaking his head upon request.

He whispered his wife's name.  His wife asked him if he knew where he was; that she loved him; if he knew how he got there.   He mouthed yes to all of those questions.  She asked him if she was his wife; the number of children they have; that she loves him and he squeezed her hand as a 'yes' and mouthed 'I love you' to her.

We continue to pray for GC's healing; for him to return to health 100%; for quick healing so he may go home; for the family to live and long and happy life together.  We pray for blessings for this entire community of loving Godly children.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and prayer messages.  We truly believe that all those messages and prayers contributed to this amazing healing in progress. We take nothing and none of you for granted.  Thank you for the ongoing support. 

I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 9:1

We have so much to give thanks for Lord.  Thank you for GC's life. Thank you for healing him.  Thank you for the support and love of your faithful children. Thank you for watching over GC's family and healing them as you heal him. 

Today, GC continued to be responsive with touch. He held his wife's hand and caressed her finger with purpose, intent and so much love.  He opened his eyes part way when his wife said hello and she believes he was trying to say her name.  He worked really hard breathing and had to return to the ventilator after a few hours.

We pray for GC's breathing to ease so that he may be able to breathe easily and without assistance 24/7.   We pray for any and all bleeding and swelling in his brain to cease and heal.  We pray that he is able to speak out loud and say what he is wanting to say.  We continue to pray for GC's family to be protected and blessed with peace, love, faith, strength and resources.

Thank you all for your faith-filled messages.  Thank you for your messages sharing yourselves with GC.  We do not have any doubt that he is hearing all the messages.  Although, you cannot be there physically, your prayers and your messages  have a presence within the room and a place within the hearts of his family.

Our father, thank you for the many blessings. Thank you for healing GC and shining your light over his entire family during this time.  Thank you for bringing together these loving prayer warriors to pray over them.

GC is still off all sedatives.  However, he is still on a pain killer and anti-anxiety medication.  They had to give him something for his blood pressure and heart yesterday because his heart started racing. His MRI was done today.  We do not yet have any information on the results of the scan.

We pray that the MRI shows us more evidence of your miracles God. However, we know that regardless of what it says, that you have the power to heal that man does not understand. We give thanks for the many miracles that are still to come.  We pray over and for GC and his entire family and that you give them the strength and the energy that they need for GC, his recovery, for themselves and to care for each other and the children.

Thank you to this loving family for the prayer messages.  Thank you for speaking to Mrs. GC as well through those prayer messages during this time.  We know that Matthew 18:19 "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."

Thank you God for watching over GC and his family.  Thank you for the love and support of this loving community.

Today's update is short but momentous.  The probe has been removed.   They were finally able to clean his head properly today after the removal of the probe.

Our Father, we pray that you continue to heal GC in every way. Please also heal his family who have had an intense two and a half weeks.    We pray for GC to feel your love and peace as he awakens fully.  Lastly, God, please bless all your loving children who have prayed for GC and his family or have donated.  May they feel and receive the comfort and blessings that they've given a thousand fold.

Thank you God for your tireless healing and love for GC and all of us.  

Both GC's arms move all the way to his fingers.  His left leg shows intentional movement all the way to his toes.  His right leg has not 'woken up' yet.  He was spontaneously breathing all night with some assistance from a device to finish his breath.  He is off all sedatives and is now on pain killers.  The cat scan showed improvement. However, there is still more healing that needs to happen. 

Such miracles and wonders we are witnessing through GC's healing.  Tonight, we ask for prayers for GC's total and complete healing and also for all the prayer warriors and for all those who were moved to (and able to) donate. May God bless and protect everyone.  The family will always appreciate the prayers, kind words and donations. They have been a source of comfort during a very difficult time.

Dear God, we know that you are ever present for all of us. We have witnessed your miracles with GC and we thank you for the many blessings.  We know that you are healing him even when we may not have our earthly evidence of it.  We thank you for all the loving children you have gathered around GC and his family during this time and we thank you for blessing and watching over GC's family when he cannot.

GC has now been off sedatives for 3 days.  They have switched his pain medication as they work on waking him up.  The surgeon in-state has confirmed he will be able to do the surgery for GC's face (Cheek bones).  That means he will be able to do his cheek reconstruction where he is.  If rehabilitation is needed, the family will be traveling out of state for it. They spoke with a specialist today and she has started working on GC's case to get him off his pain killers.  The family is praying on the options of what the next steps (following the cheek reconstruction) should be,  GC is in a state of consciousness currently where he's there but not all the way there.  That is why he can hold his wife's hand and caress her finger (like he did yesterday) and still not be able to give the nurse a thumbs up.  Even in this state of consciousness, the rehabilitation team would be able to assist him. First to fully being awake and then rehabilitation to the point he can go home.  He is now breathing completely on his own with no assistance (for at least five hours today).  They may have to give him more assistance later but the signs were positive.

We pray that his family are able to easily here God's guidance on the next steps; for GC to wake up fully easily and be one hundred person in health, spirit, mind and emotions; and for his family to be blessed with an abundance of energy, hope, faith, peace and resources.

Thank you once again to everyone who sends prayer messages.  His wife continues to read them to him.  When reading one of your messages to GC last night, his wife saw a tear come down from one of GC's eyes.  His wife is sure he hears them.  The messages mean a lot to her and she is sure it means a lot to him as well.

Thank you Father for watching over GC and healing him. Thank you for bringing your faithful children to support GC and his family during this time.

GC is doing well.  This wake up process takes time and is quite drawn out.  He slept most of the day yesterday.  As his wife was leaving yesterday, he squeezed her hand really tight and pulled it as close to him as possible.  He gave her a nod when she asked if he wanted her to stay.

Today, they shut off all the meds except the anti-anxiety to see how he does.  GC's wife sat with him as he adjusted to it. He hasn't had sedation since the morning and is doing well.  (Apparently, they had stopped the sedation a few days ago and then had to turn it back on.)  There is no confirmed date for the MRI yet.  He wiggled his toes when he was asked to but has not been able to give a thumbs up or squeeze the nurse's hand yet.  A surgeon in-state has asked to look at his scans to determine if he would be able to do the surgery needed for the fractures in his face. The family is waiting to hear from him. If he is unable to, they will need to go out of state to have the surgery for the fractures.

We know God's greatness and we know that the healing is on-going.  We have seen so many miracles already.  We pray that the fractures will be resolved easily.  We pray that the family will have the financial, physical and emotional support needed through this time as GC heals. We pray that GC feels peace and God's love and strength as he slowly awakens.

Thank you again for supporting GC and his family through this time.  We thank you everyday in an effort to express the enormity of what your prayers, donations and messages mean to GC's family.

We give so much thanks to God for every step of this journey.  We are happy to share some great news with everyone.

GC is breathing spontaneously now. 100% on his own.  It's still early days yet so they are watching him carefully but the family is really happy about this progress.  His pressures are moderate. It's not a concern but we do want them to get low and stay low. It seems like when they adjust the sedation, his pressures jump up.  He is showing more signs that he is starting to wake up such as continuing to jerk his arm away when the nurse pokes him and his dad saw him move his lips a little and eyes flutter as if he was trying to communicate with him.  There is a cat scan scheduled for tomorrow.

We appreciate everyone's prayers. God is certainly hearing them! And as always, the family is grateful for the prayer messages and reads every single one.  We now pray for the catscan to show that he will recover fully; for peace for his family through all this; for GC's full recovery; for a peaceful wakeup filled with joy for all; and for his pressure to come down and stay down.

God, we thank you every day here and countless times throughout the day.  Your healing of GC continues to bring your most faithful child to their knees in amazement. We give thanks for the continued healing of GC and for the protection of his family in all ways.

Today, GC opened his eyes when his dad asked him to.  We do not know if he recognized his dad but he seemed to recognize his voice.  His mother told him a funny story and he raised one eyebrow and smirked.  He was breathing on his own for a while but started to have difficulty breathing.  The nurse asked him to squeeze her hand if it was too hard. He tried talking, tried to open his eyes and squeezed her hand so they put him back on the ventilator.  The MRI showed injuries in various parts. However, all in all,  the doctor felt it was a favorable image.  The doctor said the image can only tell him so much while GC is telling him more with all the movement and that is what he is going with.

We pray for GC's continued healing all the way to full health.  We know that God is great. We have seen the greatness. We look forward to the miracles to come.  We pray for GC's family to feel peace, love, strength, faith, hope and joy through all this.  

Thank you once again to everyone sending prayer messages.  You can be sure that they will all be available for GC to read when he is up and about again.  In the meantime, his wife reads them all to him.  The prayer messages are a tremendous comfort.

"If you can?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes." Mark 9:23

We believe God. We believe!  We thank you so humbly for the many miracles you have bestowed upon GC and his family.  Thank you for his healing.  We are so grateful that you did it slowly so that we could appreciate your miraculous hand.

The MRI showed the injury to the brain and also some bleeding.  However, the doctor is confident that his facial surgery can happen next week.  After the surgery, a decision will be made as to whether he can be transported out of state for his rehabilitation (if it is needed).  GC had to go back on the ventilator last night.  However, his medical team is working towards getting him off the ventilatory 24/7.  The rehabilitation center is experienced in doing this.

This morning, GC started moving his mouth and whispering but he was too soft for anyone to hear what he was saying.  Later, he squeezed the nurses hand, raised his hand, winced, wiggled his toes and tried to open his eyes.  He didn't open his eyes but he tried.  This afternoon, he barely opened his right eye, turned his head towards his wife when she spoke to him, squeezed her hand and kept caressing her fingers.

We pray for GC to heal completely, be completely healthy and well, and for those witnessing this miracle to be filled with the joy and wonder of God.  We pray for his family to continue having strength, faith, hope and peace through this time.  We pray for all of those in this community reading this and praying for his family.

Earlier, a friend said "We are witnessing miracles. I am so humbled." We certainly are.  Thank you to his foxhole family for continuing to pray, never losing the faith and for supporting GC's family during this time.  Thank you for the prayers, the prayer messages, the donations and your love.  We will give thanks for every miracle with every day.  We give thanks for the miracles that are yet to come.

We give thanks for the continuing stream of God's love and miracles. He builds upon the each miracle and fills every witness with wonder and praise. We are truly witnessing miracles.

The brain probe is being removed tomorrow. This is tremendous in two ways - 1.that his brain pressure is considered low and stable enough to have it removed and 2. The brain probe is a rod that has been inserted into his head from the top.  It will be a tremendous relief to his family for it to be removed under good circumstances. 

The MRI will be taking place in a couple of days. This will give the doctors more information.  We are now seeing movement in ALL limbs!  He has purposeful reaction to nurses now. He even tries to turn his face away from suction. Last night, GC squeezed his wife's hand and lifted it about an inch off the bed.  He is paddling his feet and lifting his arms off the pillows.

There is so much to give thanks for. We want that praise and thanks to be the first thing we share always.  Next steps are being discussed now about the treatment for the fractures in his face and rehab.  The recommendation for both those items have been for out of state hospitals. However, we know God's greatness and the prayer warriors we have.  Thank you for the continued prayers and support.  Every single prayer and donation message fills GC's family's hearts with joy.

We know that only God knows his plans and he has the ability to heal GC more quickly than any person could comprehend.  We have witnessed so many miracles already.  As in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

We thank God with all our being for the healing he is giving GC with each passing minute, hour and day.

The information provided earlier on his breathing was as we understood it yesterday.  However, our understanding now is that yesterday, his lungs started showing that they are working to start working on their own.  They lowered the sedation today to see if he wants to breathe on his on. His pressures are low today.

Please pray for GC's continued healing; that he wakes up peacefully and heals completely.

Thank you all for being on this journey of God's miracle and healing with us. Your support and prayers are greatly appreciated by the entire family. We know that God is hearing them.

An early update today because yesterday was a great day!  Thank you God for showing us your love and power with each step of this journey.

As of yesterday, GC was breathing on his own. He wasn't even simply matching the machine. He was breathing MORE for himself.  Additionally, when the nurse poked him in his arm, he jerked his arm away.  This signals that 1.he's starting to wake up and 2. parts of his brain are functioning.

Thank you for all your prayers! Keep praying for him to wake up peacefully and for healing to perfect health!  God is good.

We thank God for GC's continued healing and for the prayers, support and love.

GC had another procedure done yesterday.  Despite the fact that it was complicated and had risks involved, it went well.  His pressures were up since he had two procedures done back to back. However, they came down significantly.  They are a little elevated right now but that is to be expected.  We are not sure when he will be off sedation completely and then when he will wake up. 

We pray that his pressures will get lower and stay low; for him to wake up soon and wake up peacefully.

Thank you for all the prayers.

Thank you God for the blessings and miracles through this time. We give thanks to have the privilege to watch this miracle unfold and for the miracle of family, friendship and love.

GC had that surgical procedure he needed today in preparation to be woken up.  He is stable and doing so well.  The family has been asked to take time to gather their strength in preparation for him to wake up.  We thank God for filling him with his love and grace when GC awakens. It will be difficult - in all aspects but we know that God is present and will guide his recovery.

The family reads every single prayer and donation message and it fills them with joy and comfort.  Thank you for the prayer messages and the donations.

We thank God for each miracle and blessing that GC and his family are receiving through this journey of healing.

We had a joyful update yesterday evening. His bloodwork is textbook and surprising all of them with how well he is doing.  The physician was particularly pleased that he is showing bodily responses to stimuli.  Purposeful respnses to doctors and nurses which shows them parts of his brain are waking up and functioning properly.  They expect he will be awake within a week and that's where the real work will begin.  His meds have been reduced and everyday is a little closer to taking bigger steps.  For now, the team of surgeons, doctors and nurses are working around the clock to make the waking up process as smooth as possible.  He will likely be in a great deal of pain when he wakes up but pain means that he is alive and his brain is working! So we thank God for that as well.  The swelling in his face continues to go down.

Then last night, his brain probe started started going out.  They switched it without issues but there were a significant number of risks associated with it and it was a difficult time for the family.  However, he had a good night with no pressure spikes.  The doctors are happy that there is no new swelling.

Your prayers are working.  Thank you for the messages.  Each and everyone are read by GC's wife and to him.  We thank God for the many miracles that have already taken place and for the largest miracle of all still to come.. for GC to go home and live a long, happy, healthy live with his family.

As part of removing his sedation, there was a procedure that was going to take place. However, last night GC's pressures spiked. It got quite high.  They have no idea what caused it. The doctors gave him a couple of shots that brought the pressures back to a moderate level.  However, the procedure has now been postponed till Friday.

As always, we give thanks for the miracle we are witnessing.  Please also pray for GC's family.  They have had quite a week (Wife, Children, Parents, In-laws) and could use some blessings.  

Thank you for your messages of love and support.  Please keep praying and keeping the faith.

Before the update, we want to give praise and worship to God for all the miracles we have already witnessed.  The miracle of healing, of friendship and love and support.  The family is constantly giving thanks for the strength Jesus has given and the wonders we have seen and the ones still to come.

GC's brain pressure held steady and low overnight even after they lowered his sedatives yesterday.  He responded well and was stable.  In the morning, the doctor recommended the sedative meds were reduced further.  GC had squeezed the doctors hand earlier that morning.  They tried totally discontinuing the sedatives and it was too much for him. His body is not ready yet.  His pressures shot up and he started coughing.  They restarted the sedatives again but at a low level.  That was sufficient to bring everything back to normal. However, his brain pressure is higher than it was overnight now.  He is stable currently.

We give thanks to God that the doctors are treating him as a patient in recovery; for the many blessings of love, support (in all ways) that the family is receiving; for the strong faith-based community that circle GC and his family; and for the healing that is happening and will continue to happen.

Overall, GC is much more stable.  However, there have been some fluctuations of his brain pressure numbers upwards.  They were slight but enough where they are unable to do a more in-depth diagnosis.  Please pray for his numbers to come down some more and STAY down.  However, the good news is that they are starting to pull off certain diagnostics that he no longer needs (such as blood pressure) and they expect to wake him up sometime in the next couple of days.  However, if he experiences too much stress when he wakes up, they will sedate him again to give him a chance to get stronger. He is looking more and more himself with each day.  

Prayers for his brain pressure to come down and stay down; for him to peacefully wake up; for a good diagnosis when the time arrives would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you prayer warriors for your love and support.   The family feels it every single day. Most importantly, we give thanks to God for the miracles that we are blessed to witness with each day.

GC has stabilized with excellent numbers. He is still sedated but is looking more like himself.  God is hearing everyone's prayers so please keep praying! The stabilization gets us to the next part of this healing process so the prayers continue to be important.  We are witnessing God in action.  

The family of SonofaGreenCard are grateful for this community and all your support and prayers. Every single donation message and prayer message are being read to him by his wife.  The family can feel all the prayers every day. 

Thank you!
