Tonight's good news: Nathan's brain has improved to the point that he is being weaned from the sedation medication he has received for more than two weeks.
Not-so-good news: That weaning process is difficult. After some encouragingly lucid moments this afternoon, Nathan was hallucinating this evening. Sometimes pleasant hallucinations; more often, upsetting hallucinations. Our attempts to assure him that he's not in danger seemed to be futile. Please pray that the Lord would allow him to sleep as his body adjusts to being free of the chemicals he has become accustomed to. Psalm 127:2 says God gives sleep to his loved ones. Join us in asking Him to do that for Nathan.
It was hard to see Nathan suffering from those hallucinations, but Lamentations 3:31-33 says "...the Lord shows compassion according to the greatness of his unfailing love. For he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow." We can look forward to tomorrow's new mercies.

Hi Kuya Greg and Ate Hannah, glad to hear on the improving condition of Nathan. Our prayers are with you. Truly, the mercies of the Lord is new every morning, great is thy faithfulness! We pray that as you journey with each other through this season in your life, may you all the more be strengthened and encouraged by the faithfulness and love of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the hope that we have in Him be like the sunshine that gives light where there is darkness and despair. Isaiah 50: 10...God bless po and journeying with you through all this....
Dear Bro. Greg, and Sis. Hannah,
So encouraged to know of Nathan's continuing improvement. Your trust and dependence on God is an inspiration to us all.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but when my mother was brutally beaten 7 years ago, she had hallucinations for weeks too.
We will continue to pray for you.
Godbless and bye for now...
David
