Update on Chris

They began weaning him off the sedaton and respirator yesterday.  By the time we left yesterday afternoon he was at only 50% sedation and was breathing mostly on his on.  The doctors are optimistic that he will come out of it by Sunday or Monday.   He's gagging on the tubes down his throat but that's good that means he can feel them down there.  He was moving his head, arms, and legs when we left.
They still don't know if his motor skills were effected until he's completely out of sedation. 
God has truly answered our prayers.  It is so amazing how he works in even the smallest of ways.
Scott and I was sitting in the ICU family room in between visiting hours.  A complete stranger began talking to us.  Telling us that he was waiting for his wife that was in therapy.   He wrote down Chris's name and said he would be praying for him.  Then he shook Scott's hand and said Jesus wanted me to tell you that He loves you and he has it all in control.
Thank ya'll so much for all the prayers.  We have felt such peace all week because of the prayers that has been said in our behalf.
