Good News

This is Julie’s friend Aundrea, writing with a brief update and good news.

This morning they stopped sedating Brian. As he wakes up, the doctor and nurses are monitoring him closely. They are encouraged by the fact that he is responding appropriately—he wiggled his toes when asked, seems to recognize everyone, makes eye contact, and is trying to talk. However, he is still on a ventilator, which makes it difficult for him to speak. The ventilator should be removed sometime soon. The doctor is positive about his chances for making a full recovery.

Please pray for Brian as he continues the recovery process.

We've been praying like crazy for the Buck family and after reading this post I went and told Hudson Jesus was answering his prayer that God would make Aubrey's daddy's heart better and for him to wake up soon. You wouldn't believe the smile he gave and the joy that lit up all over his face. We are certainly praying for you Brian and Julie and so thankful for the updates.
