Although in the large picture this is only a small step in the right direction, it brought immense hope and joy to his family today. To see his whole family beaming with delight for the first time in a few days was a blessing in and of itself. Uncle John still has a long way to go, but is improving each day. He has obviously not given up the fight, and as his family and friends we will take his lead and continue to pray for his healing.

A birthday wish
Uncle John has always had a way of making his kids smile when they really needed it, and today was no exception. He was able to respond to commands when asked to move his leg, wiggle his toes, and more importantly open his eyes. The best part is that Kerry was able to witness this before her birthday was over. I know a lot of people were praying for John to make some sort of improvement for his daughter on her birthday. If it has not been evident already, the power of prayer truly is undeniable! Our prayers have been answered, and he has made his daughter's birthday wish come true.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
ReplyDeleteBut when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
– Mark 4:30–2
God Bless All the Hannan's and Roddy's especially sweet, gentle, loving John - one of the most remarkable people we've ever known. Never an unkind word; always positive and upbeat. We need more people on earth just like him, so, dear Lord, please keep John with us - he's one of the 'good ones'!!! Bridget, you're amazing. This blog is fantastic. We've shared it with so many people already. We love each and every one of you. Happy belated birthday, Kerry!!
