what a surprise, when we walked into the room to visit asher this morning, to find asher sitting up in a chair (special chair that reclines flat also) with his upper body brace on (they call it a turtle shell). he sat up for almost 2 hours with no difficulty, before he started getting tired and a little agitated. he still has not woken up any more (that we can tell), but while he was sitting up he didn't show any signs of difficulties with his lungs filling up, either. it was genuinely another gift from the Lord for asher to be able to take another forward move like this.
he is still in icu waiting for another room to open up.
so incredibly grateful,
andy mendonsa

awesome. I imagine the feeling must have been somewhat like seeing him for the first time again.

Glo, Andy, and Hadrienne, Yeh! I'm so glad Asher responded to commands today. I continue to pray several times a day as Asher and you are brought to mind. Now to make Glo go rest and relax \"/ I wish mama Rhonda could be with you. Love you all, Rhonda
