While we were in California, I remember hearing from Jenny's neurosurgeon that the survival rate for what Jenny has been through is only 10-20%. They never expected Jenny to survive more than a few days...let alone WALK! But seriously...what do these doctors know? :)
All the activity has made Jenny to become much more tired today than she was yesterday...so please pray for strength for Jenny. They doctors are saying that IF things are looking good, she may be out of the ICU as early as tomorrow and over to the regular hospital floor.
One major concern that they have right now is that Jenny's blood pressure has been going much lower than the normally accepted minimum at certain times. They're not exactly sure what is causing this and it's scary every time that it happens.
On another note, please keep the family of our dear friend, Binil Samuel in your prayers. Binil passed away in a tragic hit and run car accident this Monday morning. He wholeheartedly loved the Lord, but we still miss him like crazy. We're all trying to make sense of what God is doing through these events that have shaken our community to its core.
The last e-mail Binil wrote was to one of his cousins and contained the following encouragement to her from Hebrews. I think these verses can be an encouragement to us all as we pray for Jenny and remember Binil, to run hard after Christ, because the Lord may give us another day...or he may call us home to be with Him, at any time.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3, NIV

Jomy and Renee,
Of course! I know that Jenny would appreciate as many people praying as possible...and more importantly, that the news of the amazing work our God is doing would spread!
