Silas is still doing so well. He has very few monitors on at this point. He is trying to talk more and more but it is difficult. His throat is very sore.
All of his neurological checks have gone very well. The team is so pleased!
We are so thrilled, but this phase has it’s own challenges and is still quite emotional. Silas still has a lot of strong drugs that are trying to work their way out of his body. He also has a brain bleed (that should resolve itself in time). So he is not himself a lot of the time. He is agitated or scared or mad. There were times this evening that he did not recognize us. Heartbreaking.
The team assured us that none of these behaviors are abnormal. They come with the territory. But, it is still very difficult to endure.
God is so so so good. He is with us. We continue to cry out to Him for mercy and grace. He continues to provide for us in the most amazing ways.
Please pray for 100% recovery for Silas. Pray that he becomes himself all the time quickly. Please pray for strength and endurance and comfort for him. Please pray that all that scripture he has learned over the years is called to his mind.
Please pray for Ryan and I. Our love for the Lord and one another grows exponentially each day. But this is just a lot. Please pray for strength and endurance and comfort for us as well.
Please continue to pray for Si’s team. They love him so much. Please pray for wisdom and peace for them. And blessings! All the blessings!
Please pray for our other children- Caleb, Cheyenne, Collin and Alexa. They are hurting. But they are holding strong.
Please pray for those caring for our children. This is a lot on them. They have not complained once. In fact, they have done all the things with all the joy.
For those who have not read Si’s testimony, look below…

Just received this from one of our many friends who are praying for Silas and all of you. We are joining all of you in praying for complete healing for him and for peace, strength, and sustenance for ALL of your family as well:
How is Silas? I am praying every day for his healing. I recall how Jesus stepped in when the boy fell through the ice, and the reports were bad news, BUT GOD had another plan. I don’t believe God is through using Silas for His good. I will continue to pray every day. The road may be hard, but Silas is not alone. He has a special place in the heart of Jesus. He is an inspiration to all who know and love him.”
I so agree with her! Thank You, Jesus, for the power of Your blood, the healing, the peace, the security that comes Only from You! We thank You and praise Your holy name for all You are doing for Silas, and for all the lives You are touching through him, and for all the future plans? You have for Him!!
In the precious Name, JESUS!
