Silas continues to do so well. He slept peacefully overnight. His ICP stayed very low. All of his numbers look so good. He still performs very well on neurological exams. The team still plans to take the bolt and drain out tomorrow and hopefully the ventilator. For today, the plan is for him to rest while slowly decreasing sedation.
The rest of us Atkinsons feel good about going to church together today. What a blessing to be with our incredible body of believers who have stood right beside us for the last 12 days. They have certainly met the pressing needs. I just love how God set up the church.
Please pray for 100% healing for Silas. Please pray that the team can bring down sedation without Si getting agitated. Please pray that tomorrow can go as planned. Please pray for comfort and strength and endurance for Silas.
Please pray for all of us who love Silas. We miss him so much that it actually hurts.
Please pray for his medical team. It’s a lot to figure out. It’s a lot of people working together. It’s a lot of love poured out on our precious boy.
Please pray that lives continue to be impacted by Si’s life and testimony. If you have not read his testimony, please do! It’s just below the updates. Or you can watch him read it to you at the bottom of Update #54.

Just heard the song, There’s a miracle in the works”! Amazing! Continuing to join and stand with you in prayer, believing that God will heal Silas completely and fully from the bottom of his toes to the top of his head so that He, and He alone can get all the glory! So thankful you all got to worship with the body of Christ today! What a blessing to be reminded you are surrounded on all sides!
