    You're a good man, Smokey. And a friend of yours is a friend of mine. Prayers to him, his family, and you as well. It's horrible to hear of these things, especially this time of year.

    Thanks guys. All your kind words andprayers are appreciated more than you know. His heart rate increased while his wife and daughter were talking to him earlier today so that's a little bit of a good sign. They're probably trying to bring him out of the hypothermic treatment this evening. Praying for good news!

    Tomorrow morning he could use your prayers more than ever. They've tried to reverse the sedation and remove him from the ventilator twice but both times his heart has not reacted well. Tomorrow around 7am they're going to try one more time. If he reacts the same way they'll have to surgically insert a permanent feeding tube and keep him on the machines. His wishes are not to live this way. His family has invited me up to see him tomorrow before the procedure. It's all in God's hands.

    Isaiah 41:10
    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.

    I know I would feel the same way Piney. It's the family that surrounds him that really has the hard part of this. It's times like this when we have to do our best to understand that God can heal him but maybe not for this life. Still praying though that he will recovers to be with his family. As you say it's in God's hands and that my friend is the best place for it, that I'm sure of.

    Praying also Piney that God will strengthen you and give you the right words to say if needed.
