Morning Update - Tools of the Lord!

I just spoke to Laura who is at the hospital beside "Tubbs McGee" and she said that he is doing very well. He is off of the breathing machine and is breathing on his own. He is eating and has opened his eyes and started to look around. Although he is still "out of it" a bit from the pain medication, she said that he will hold her hand and squeeze it like a vice! That a boy!

On another note, several people have commented on how hard it is to see Cole with all of the tubes in him. It was hard for us too, but at the same time, once they explained the reason for each one and I realized the job that each tube is doing to help him, my thoughts were "dang, if all of these tubes are helping him that much and he can go home in a week, then stick 4-5 more in him and maybe he can be home in 3 days." Just thought that I would share that little nugget. :-)

We understand that some folks want to see the "full monte" and some do not. The only way to accomodate this is to post the good pics along with the bad pics and let each person decide for themselves if they want to see them. We will try to provide a warning before some of the more graphic ones going forward.

The bottom line is that all of those tubes are the TOOLS that the LORD is using to heal our little bundle of joy. Let's call them the TOOLS of the LORD.

God Bless and we hope ya'all have a good morning.

So glad that the "little" guy is doing so well. I thank God for using every doctor, nurse, test, tube, and even machine necessary for healing this precious boy. We'll take a miracle HOWEVER it comes dressed. And, it's very rewarding to watch these tubes disappear, one by one, as he recovers. Please give Cole a soft kiss on his sweet little head. Love you guys!
