Melissa Graduates from High School Today



Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

Melissa has been busy between school and therapy. Her days begin with four hours of school followed in the afternoon by acupuncture treatments, physical therapy, occupational therapy and hand rehab. Her slow but steady step-by-step positive recovery is very encouraging to us. She is very close to being able to take care of her daily routine. Recently, she was able to shower twice all by herself, and she can now move her right hand and leg herself ... this is tremendous progress – a miracle, really. Doctors had told us that she would be paralyzed for life, but through prayer and faith, she has proven the doctors to be wrong.

Today, however, is especially important. Today, Melissa will graduate from University High School in Irvine. She will walk onto the stage and receive her high school diploma. Despite her ordeal, she is graduating on time with her class! Praise God!

We thank all of you for your love and prayers. We’d like to give a special thank-you to Doug Coe from the National Prayer Breakfast and International Foundation, whose letter gave Melissa much encouragement.

Your continued prayers for Melissa are greatly appreciated. Please pray particularly for her heart valve repair surgery which we expect to do this summer.

Emmanuel,
Michael Yu
