We will definitely be praying, and we thank you so much for sharing this with us. That's what the CSM Community is all about. Please keep us posted on how Mike is doing.

Thank you for all your prayers, I'm really so grateful for your loving kindness. May God richly bless each and every one of you.

I talked to Dee this morning, They took Mike off of the respirator and the tubes out of his throat---again yesterday, but they had to put them back in again; his heart is sooo.... weak and damaged. They told Dee that he remains critical, it can go either way.

Please continue praying.

Pat

Our prayer is that God would be the strength of Mike's heart, both in the natural and in the Spirit. And, may the Lord also encourage and minister to his family and loved ones.

"O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth." (Psalms 96:1-9) Praise ye the Lord! Amen

Mike is off of the respirator and the tubes are all out, and he is out of ICU into his own room. He is awake, talking, and has strength in his arms and legs. I talked with him today and he's Praising God; for all the saints who were Prayer Warriors on his behalf; And for His healing power, mercy and grace towards him.

His heart is weak and damaged, and he has a long ways to go, but the journey has begun and new hope and faith has sprung forth.

Thank you, and may God bless each and everyone of you richly. I would ask your continual prayer covering over Mike, and Dee too.

Pat
