I just talked with mom and Sheldon seems to be waking up even more. He is responding to commands like move your foot, squeeze my hand etc. and is answering questions by nodding or shaking his head. Dad asked if he wanted some hot chocolate and he said yes (he might have to wait awhile for that, unfortunately). I can't wait to go see him today! I'm pretty sure he will nod when I ask if I am his favorite sister...
Some specific prayer requests for today:
1) Sheldon is saying that he is very scared - please pray that he will be comforted and that even when he has to be alone for short periods (during shift change) that he will feel God's powerful presence and know that we are all rooting for him nearby.
2) Continue to pray for mom and dad - They are eating better and getting more rest, but knowing that their son is afraid causes them to worry even more.
3) The doctors have tried twice to allow Sheldon to breath on his own and so far he has been unable to do this. They are planning to try again this afternoon. Please pray for wisdom as the medical staff evaluate Sheldon's readiness for removing medications and life support. And pray that Sheldon's body will continue to heal and get stronger.
Thanks again for your prayers.
- Crystal

Hooray!! This is wonderful news. As soon as Sheldon is well enough to drink it, I vote he gets a bucketful of hot chocolate.
Ilana and I went to church this morning, and the congregation prayed for Sheldon during the service. We updated Pastor Todd afterward and he sends prayers and support.
WAHOOOO!!
That's incredible - those are the kinds of miracles we're looking for!
Hey Sheldon - come visit me at the cafe at church as soon as you're up and around. I'll make you an extra special hot chocolate with lots of whip cream and chocolate drizzle. mmmmm
Oh and by the way - Pastor Todd prayed for Sheldon and his family in all three services - so all the Riverwooder's know and will continue to pray - yeahhh!!!
