speech therapy

Praise Jesus for:
-Keith rarely shakes anymore. The cause of his shaking was unknown, but due to YOUR prayers, he no longer shakes as he did.
-being able to do funny things. Today, my sister asked him to touch her nose. He reached over and grabbed her nose with his thumb & index finger, squeezed her nose so hard and for the longest time!
-he expressed happiness when my daughter sang a song just for him over the phone. We're getting his nieces and nephews to talk to him over the phone to get his spirits up and to keep fighting.

Please pray:
-The speech therapist came to visit Keith today, but he was asleep. Pray that the timing of their meeting would coincide when Keith is awake, so that he can begin speech therapy. Since he can follow directions, the therapist is planning to check Keith's swallowing ability. Pray that he can swallow water and eventually food, so that the feeding tube can come off and he can start eating real food - especially chicken, one of his favorites!
-Pray that he will open his right eye. He can open his left eye, so we praise Jesus for that.
-Pray that he will fully wake up and get moving with physical therapy...

Last week, when I spoke with the doctor, he said "we're hoping Keith will go home soon so he can start preaching again." We pray that Keith is a wonderful witness of Jesus to the staff there...
