An Update on Nathanael

Originally sent at 9:34 am on Friday, July 31:

Thank you for your prayers. It appears Nathanael is responding well to treatment. He was able to come off the oxygen last night for a few hours to play with his cars on the floor but required the additonal oxygen as he slept. His breathing treatments started at two hour intervals and were reduced to three hour intervals in the middle of the night and we expect to have them reduced to four hour intervals soon, which is the final phase before discharge. There is a chance Nathanael may be discharged today, but there has been no official decision yet. I let Nathanael off the oxygen this morning so he could get up and play and he has been doing well. He still has to work hard to breathe sometimes, but has improved dramatically since yesterday. Please continue to pray for Nathanael's recovery and that he will be able to remain off additional oxygen. We are open to accept visitors. Nathanael would especially appreciate some of his friends to stop by. Please call Laura first. Thank you again for your prayers.

The Lord has promised good to me
His Word, my hope secures
He will my shield and protion be
As long as life endures
