Hi Friends,

Praise God that Melissa is progressing positively:

1. Melissa shows more stamina with physical therapy.

2. Melissa has gained 7.25 lbs. She had dropped to 89.76 lbs. on in May 13, and as of June 9 was up to 97.1 lbs.

3. She is able to hold her head up on her own for a longer period of time while sitting up.

4. She is breathing on her own for an hour in the morning and another hour in the afternoon/evening. The rest of the time is with ventilator. The assisted breathing ensures that her heart will not be overworked.

5. Melissa has physical therapy 4 times per week, speech therapy 4 times per week, occupation therapy 3 times per week, at about 30-60 minutes each time, depending on her condition.

6. Yesterday we put her in a reclining wheelchair and took her outdoors.

7. She is able to take a bath every day.

Prayer Requests:

1. That Melissa continues to improve and stabilize.

2. For physical strength for Michael and Marlene. This journey has been exhausting and our life style has been materially altered.

3. For God’s protection over Melissa.

God is good and gracious.

In Him
Michael
