A Miracle Update

On Tuesday April 22^nd I traveled to Ypsilanti to visit the final member of the “Miracle Six” that still remains in the hospital, the driver, Alex Eagling. She had just returned from physical therapy and was pretty tired. As it turns out Alex had much more extensive issues in her neck and back than what originally thought. As she put it, “There is a lot of hardware in there!” and as a result she will be in the hospital for another two weeks. She is looking at an extended rehabilitation process before she is back to functioning how she would like. Her spirits were good and she is very thankful to God for sparing everyone and for all of the prayers that have been offered up on her behalf. Please continue to pray for her physical healing and spiritual well being. She puts a lot of blame and shame on herself over the whole incident, that was in fact, just an accident.

Last Sunday evening, with the high school youth group, we stopped into Joe Mundt’s house to pay him a visit. He was very happy to see everyone. His infection is receding and he is glad to be home. Insurance is covering the van but two insurance companies are fighting over the wheel chair, that is very expensive and was only a month or so old. So Joe’s mobility is limited because a couple of companies are fighting. Please pray for continued healing and a solution to this situation.

The other passengers in the van are progressing along. Last Friday Tim had the stitches removed from his forehead and he his doing much better, still at home from college and happy to be alive. Joey Richter is back in school, still in quite a bit of pain and he showed up last Sunday and went to Joe house. It seems that he and Alex Mirkin and Joe have become quite the pals through all of this and the week in Florida. Alex Mirkin still had the staples in his head on Sunday thought they were supposed to be removed this week. My son Ryan had all but two of his stitches removed on Tuesday and has returned to work, scarred and thankful. Thanks for all of your prayers and concern for these folks and me too.
