They had originally said that no one
could be in there when
they attempted to wake him up.
If he thrashed about they did not want
the family to see him have to be restrained.
But surprisingly they let Bob and Vicki and Ryan remain.
For over an hour Bob, Vicki and Ryan tried to get Karl to wake up as he came off the sedatives.
After 40 minutes Vicki texted Autumn and said,
"40 minutes, no response."
Autumn started to shake uncontrollably and sob.
Fifty-five minutes and again a text,
"55 minutes, no response."
We were out here in the waiting room interceding.
All of a sudden there was a text:
"The doctor screamed at him and then tried
pain stimulus and he pulled away."
We all fell apart.
Vicki just came out and explained that they were gently saying, "Come on Karl, wake up..."
When the doctor came in he said, "I'm not going to be as nice as you have been being....."
and proceeded to grab Karl's hand tightly and leaning over the bed screamed, "KARL WAKE UP! AND PULL AWAY FROM MY HAND."
Which Karl did immediately!!
Then the doctor was stimulating his eyes
and he was moving them some.
The doctor said that he had met goal for today.
*sobs, sobs and more sobs*
The power of ALMIGHTY GOD.
And friends praying?
YOU ARE PART OF THIS MIRACLE!!
Doc said it would be a long process.
Please don't stop praying for all the things
I listed a couple of posts ago.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you from all of the Karl Vigil hanging here at the medical center......
Praise God for this miracle! Praying throughout the day and checking for updates often. Looking forward to all the miracles to come as Karl and those who love him heal.

Make sure you and your family get rest too during this time as he will need you down the road of this long journey. Praying for him and strength for all. Love and hugs from NC!
ReplyDeleteThank you Father...I've been speaking His name over Karl and over Autumn as well. Believing with you continually here in S.C.!!
ReplyDeleteJust caught up with what is going on with you and your family and figured out who Karl is. *tears* My family is all to familiar to what can happen when a loved one is in a motorcycle wreck. Praising God Karl has made it this far. There is no doubt in my mind Karl WILL make it through this. I am and will be praying. Dear sweet Autumn, you are being prayed for as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be the miracle God wants to display for all of us to witness. It will glorify HIM and build our faith. We are the Isrealites lost and begging god for more miracles. He will deliver for Karl. I just know it. :) Praying for you guys. Love that Abi is there in the hospital. Love you! - Jen
ReplyDeleteWonderful, encouraging news. I woke up several times in the night and took the opportunity to send up a quick prayer. Still praying for healing from Texas.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! I've been checking in several times today. My husband joined me in praying for Karl this morning! Can't wait to tell him the fabulous update! All Glory to God!
ReplyDeletePraise God! I'll keep praying!
ReplyDeletePraise God!! Tears dripping on my keyboard. Still Praying.
ReplyDeleteYipee!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jesus!!! Praying in Las Vegas, often, throughout the day. Woke up this morning with Karl on my mind. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers. Praying for strength for the family and Autumn also.
ReplyDeletetears. . .will continue to pray. I keep checking in. . .
ReplyDeleteGreat news! I remember too well how all the seemingly small milestones felt huge...and they are. Every positive step is a step to recovering. Thank you for the update, I check often and will continue to pray for Karl and all who love him!
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord Almighty! What wonderful news!! As I read your post, my face broke into a huge smile and tears came as well. Thank you Jesus!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update...we have been praying. Since I heard about the accident, I have been specifically praying everytime I am driving and I see a motorcycle. Let me tell you I have seen more motorcycles the last 2 days than I ever have. Each one reminds me of Karl and intercede for him right from my car. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Robin
As I am reading this I am thinking about your comment that Karl had spoken about wanting to be baptised...think about what an incredible testimony he will have to share on that day :]
ReplyDeleteYay! Awesome news! Continuing to pray. So happy for Karl!
ReplyDeleteGod is so good !!! Praising him.
ReplyDeleteI went to my solitude place for prayer and asked God to reveal a verse to me. This is what He told me. Psalms 91:14-15 Because he loves me, "says the Lord, " I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
ReplyDeleteI know God will heal and give Karl a beautiful life. God confides in those who fear Him. I know God spoke this verse to me. Continuing to pray.
Summer from Kansas
Praising the Lord here in the Ukraine. Will keep praying for his total healing.
ReplyDeleteJackie
What ABULOUS news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still praying that he will continue to exceed all expectations!!!! Praise GOD for the things he has done!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePraising God and will keep praying!
ReplyDeletesobbing here too---soo grateful to our Father for showing mercy to one of His sons. Will keep praying!!!
ReplyDeletePraises INDEED!!!! God is in it for the long haul! And Yes! He is able!
ReplyDeletePraising God for His goodness!!! We will keep on praying!
ReplyDeletePraise God, for He is GREAT!!!! Awesome news! Me and 4 of my kids have Karl's name on our hands, and we have been praying for him constantly. Even my 2 year old wanted to have Karl on his hand so he could "pway for Karl." Many, many prayers continue...
ReplyDelete"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,
and He shall stengthen thine heart:
Wait, I say, on the Lord."
Psalm 27:14
Praise God's Holy Name !!! My prayers continue in Missouri for Karl, Autumn, and both of your families. I will not stop praying. Thank you Heavenly Father.
ReplyDeleteYay! So exciting to hear!
ReplyDeleteI didn't sign up for prayer on the list because I did not want to forget, I know me too well. Call it what you will... but I have been praying whenever the Lord lays Karl on my heart (which is often). I just wanted to share that today while I was by myself making beds for the preschoolers I began praying, and then I heard Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" and I just kept hearing it as I prayed over and over again. I don't know if that's for Karl or Autumn or quite possibly both, but it happened when I was in my quiet time praying for him yesterday as well. God's hand is all over this and it is so exciting to see.
Stay strong, God's up to something!
Oh and one more thing, today after praying for Karl and Autumn and his family this song popped in my head and I laughed out loud, but it fits. "Oh I went to the enemies camp and I took back what he stole from me, took back what he stole from me....."
I can't sign up for a specific hour to pray since we have company but I have been praying throughout my days :)
ReplyDeletePraise GOD!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally crying! Thank you Jesus!!! Right before Christmas my dear FIL had a medical complication with some of his medications (he's been living with chronic pain for over a decade) and ended up almost dying. He was resuscitated and put on a ventilator. When he was in his coma-like state and when we didn't know if he'd ever wake up and if he did what brain damage he might have - it was SO terrifying! When he did wake up, and fully functioning?? Wow! What an amazing miracle. Reading this about Karl took me back to that hospital room. Continuing to Pray for Karl and Praise Jesus, from whom all blessings flow!!!
ReplyDeletePraise GOd!!!!!!!!!! such a powerful time of prayer for karl this morning till 1am. could just feel the prayers of the saints lifting him up before the mercy seat!! Praise HIm! much love and hugs autumn!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good sign. The Lord is good!!! I will continue praying!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing blessing from God!!! Praise Him!!!
ReplyDeleteGLORY! Our God is glorious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord for hearing our prayers - thank you for answering - we will ever praise your name!!
ReplyDelete"Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
"The LORD'S right hand has done mighty things!
The LORD'S right hand is lifted high;
the LORD'S right hand has done mighty things"!
Psalm 118:15-16
That's wonderful news, will pray for him to be restored fully.
ReplyDeletePraising God and praying for more miracles!

ReplyDeleteJanet
Satan will go to huge lengths to try and get your focus off the orphan and those two dear children you are trying to get home. But God is great and He is the winner. Here in Australia I am remembering to pray many times a day. Thank you Lord for all that you have already done. You have your keeping hand on Karl or he would have been gone . Thank you for his continued improvement until he becomes the young man you want him to be.
ReplyDeleteI see a young man standing in a church totally sold out for you, giving a powerful testimony.
Love to you and the family.
This is beyond awesome! Watching miracles happen before our eyes (well, you know what i mean...blog eyes, anyway)!! The power of the Almighty...right here...in the present...working out the mountain moving miracles...such great and awesome news that he is responding! To kick out like that (on your Twitter update) let's you know he can hear! Continuing to pray for strength for you all and for the miracles to continue for Karl! Let the trumpets sound...the Lord is doing a great work! Thanking Him from Whom all blessings flow! Won't stop praying! Awesome update!!! <3
ReplyDeletePrayed, praying from Florida!
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 43:18&19
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens. Who created all these. He who brings out the starry host one by one and knows them each by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength not one of them is missing." AMEN!
Love this family and will continue to lift them up to the One and Only, Jesus!

YIPPEEE JESUS!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but remember those days in the hospital with my uncle, waiting and waiting for signs of life returning to him... Sometimes we would see little glimmers of hope, but then they would fade, and ultimately his time came to an end.
How much JOY you must be experiencing right now watching Karl come back to life bit by bit! And he WILL continue to regain his life & strength! Through tears of joy, we will all continue to pray for him to be fully restored... AND then to testify boldly to the great power of the ONE and ONLY GOD who healed him!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing all of us to share in this part of the journey with you. What a privilege!
Love you!
~Sharon
Oh soooooooo thankful! That's such great news! I will keep praying for him!! :)
