starting to speak...

As Keith is regaining his ability to eat, he's slowly making progress in speaking. Hallelujah!!! Tonight, my mom asked Keith what he was craving. She kept asking if it was chicken, but he responded in a low but understandable voice "bulgogi". After many weeks of silence, my mom was so excited to hear Keith say "umma" and "appa". My parents were very encouraged tonight. Thank you for your continuous prayers. We believe that Keith will speak soon. Pray that this will happen quickly. As he's now slowly eating real food, they're slowly weaning him from the feeding tube. This afternoon, he expressed (through spelling) his desire to eat "dduk-bo-sahm", sushi, and "jjam-bong". We're sure he'll be eating out alot once he's out of the hospital...he'll probably regain all his weight back quickly =).

Continue to pray:
-full recovery of strength through physical/occupational therapy
-be completed weaned from feeding tube
-able to regain full ability to eat and speak without getting tired

Let's also pray for Keith's youth group. As they are without a pastor for a long period of time, let's pray that God would continue to shepherd the youth and grow them and the ministry.
