We read Exodus 23 and then Psalm 77. My dad prayed. After the prayer we looked and Garren's left eye was partially opened. I talked to him, explained where he was, and told him we were with him. He opened both eyes. We talked to him for a few minutes. Then he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Wow. What an amazing thing to see!
The respiratory therapist came in and showed us something else. She turned off the ventilator and showed us that Garren was able to completely breathe on his own. Awesome! She is leaving the ventilator on - we don't want to completely wear him out.
Thank you for continuing to pray.

Thank you Jesus! I was unable to attend our church today. We visited the Amazing Grace Church where my cub scouts meet. My daughter, Hallie, and I passed out info about Garren and asked to be put on their prayer list. We will all continue praying! Awesome news!

To Geoffrey - I looked at you today on the Monroe stage as a father - struggling to keep it together for your congregation - not knowing how to express your love and gratitude. What a great father I see...
To Nancy - I pray a special 'Mom' prayer for you constantly...Moms always to 'fix' things for their children and I know from past medical problems with John Michael - it is soooo very hard not being able to 'fix' it...God is in control - we know that but...the struggle continues.
We love your family and will continue the prayers for you all.
Praise the Lord! What great news! We will keep praying for Garren that God will continue to bring healing to his body.
Woo hoo! Thank you Jesus for this encouragement today for the Janes!
What a lightness of spirit you must be feeling to see that massive step.
Love and smiles to you all.
Judith, Jonathan and family.
Praise God! Thank you for keeping us posted Geoffrey! We're paying for you.
Oh Geoffrey and Nancy...PRAISE GOD! We think of you and pray for him and your family everyday, many times. We love you.

Praise God!!! I am weeping for joy! Thank you, thank you Lord Jesus! Way to fight Garren. You are an amazing young man!! We will continue to lift all of you up Geoffrey. Peace to all of you.
Praise the Lord. He is teaching us all so much through Garren and your family. I, like others have been brought closer to God as a result of Garren as my prayer life has become stronger. At work last week, I was thinking of Garren and felt God telling me to stop and pray. Someone walked into my office and asked if I was ok. I shared Garren's story and that we needed to pray and had an opportunity to share God's word with one of my staff members. Praise God for that :) Pam Hamrick
Halleluia!!! To our awsome God be all the glory, honor and praise! Thank you Jesus for such encouraging signs that you are working in Garren's body. We continue to pray for complete healing in your timing and comfort and peace for the family every day! We love you Lord!
