Update on Fr. Nigel, Monday 11/09/09, 10:12 p.m.

Albany Intercessor

Fr. Nigel Mumford remains in critical condition on his 31st day in the hospital, but the good news is that your prayers are working! Although he is critical, he has improved slightly. Since his sedative has been eliminated, he is starting to awaken very slowly and his eyes are opening. He has been able to focus on Lynn and has even given her a slight smile, but then drifts off again. He is aware of his surroundings but his body is extremely weak.

His fever has been up and down, but it is lower today so your prayers are working against whatever is causing it -- thank you Lord for this healing.

Please pray for:

* protection against blood clots

* his lungs that they may heal so that he can be removed from the ventilator

* that his fever be back to normal and that the cause of the fever be eliminated

* a clearing of the medications from his muscles and tissues so that he can start to move again

* rest and strength for Lynn and all the Mumford family

We praise God for the healing that has taken place thus far. Your prayers are working so please keep them coming. May God bless and reward you for your faithfulness.
