Patrick's Back!

The nurse told Rachel and Agape that Patrick always tries to get out of bed during the night, even taking the sheets off his bed. So Agape told his dad not to give the nurses such a difficult time and stay in bed, he looked at Agape and said, "Me? That wasn't me, it must have been someone else." ...and yet today when he found out the kids went to Little Haiti for haitian food he said he wanted some goat too....doesn't that sound like Patrick to you?
We are glad to have him back!
He continues to be in ICU and we wait expectantly for the call that he has been transferred to his own room. What a party that will be.
Barb continues to astound the staff who continues to exclaim, "You don't need rehab at all!" As she hops out of bed, speed walks her walker to her destination. We're beginning to think God gave "Stumpy" fuel injection.
We are tired, it is late and so thankful for another good day of precious life.
Thank you for your continued prayers and gifts, notes of encouragement.

This is Debbie from Maryland Calvary Chapel, I so excited to hear the continuing praise reports on Barb and Patrick, they fill me with joy. I had a chance to be with Barb one week before the quake when we visited Haiti, I praise the Lord for that opportunity and how he has cared for you both. Love you.
