Fr. Nigel Update: Saturday, 11:28 AM

From: Elizabeth Strickland

Fr. Nigel continues on the critical list but he is stable and improving -- Thank you Lord! Although he is still on the ventilator, he is much more awake and recognizes his family and the different nurses and doctors. Even though he cannot talk, he has shown his sense of humor by making some very funny faces in response to questions. Although it is frustrating for him because he isn't able to communicate (he is such a huge communicator) he is able to express a lot through his facial expressions. He is beginning to move his fingers, feet and shoulders so your prayers for the cleansing of his body of the sedation are working so well -- please keep them coming. The difference of just one day is truly a result of your prayers and God's everlasting presence.

All of his other vital signs are normal. His temperature went up briefly but went back to normal. All of his organs are functioning properly.

Please pray for a rejuvenation of his lungs that they may heal and the ventilator can be removed.

Please continue to pray for the washing of the sedation from his body.

Praise be to our God who has healed Fr. Nigel and continues to heal him every day.

Praise be to our God for Lynn's continued strength -- may He continue to give her His peace.

Thanks be to God for all of you prayer warriors -- from your lips to God's ears!
