Good News!

Karl's surgery went well.

Very well.

And I did not get to update last night about how well he was responding yesterday. 

I had spent time about an hour with Karl and all the while, I knew that Karl was completely responding.   I read him verses, I prayed over him, I teased him....and at one point when I was teasing him about Autumn he gave me a huge smile!

 I came out of being with Karl 

and said enthusiastically,

"On a scale of 1-10 that was like a 2 Trillion!"

I was giddy!!

Seriously, I had a blast and I know Karl 

was completely enjoying the time too!

When I got out in the ICU waiting room, everyone was really tired and hadn't seemed all that interested in my joy

{I think because they were thinking I was being a little overly optimistic.  Silly people!}

UNTIL

They went in themselves.

Autumn and Vicki came out so excited they could hardly stand it.

Karl had given Autumn the biggest smile.

He even winked at her!

AND

He had raised his arm to her.  She bent over his face and said, "Oh babe, do you want to stroke my face?"

To which he lifted his arm and rubbed her face with his hand.

Every time she would lift her face away, he would raise his arm.  She would lower her face back down and he would stroke her face for a bit.  

Clearly, Mr. Karl was responding very well!

When Autumn told me that what had happened, I kept yelling, "I told ya!!!  I told ya!!  I told ya!!"  

Such good MIRACLE news.

Now with the surgery today they have had to sedate him again for bit and so today was pretty low key.

But you guys - 

It is the POWER of PRAYER!!

Plain and simple.

Almighty God responding to the prayers of God's people....

He is just soooo faithful!

*PLEASE KEEP PRAYING*
