i spent the night in asher's room last night and he did really well. this was the first night that they have not had to give him any pain medication in order to help him rest. asher has been having a pretty restful day today. gloria and hadrienne have been there since about 11 AM. he is still trying to talk, but all that is coming out is a groaning kind of sound. this is not due to pain, though, it is just all the sound that he can form for now.
the representative from shepherd spinal center in atlanta is still working on getting him in. what we understand is that once he is approved he will be moved there very quickly. quick is what we are praying for, and at the same time we are also praying to be able to put everything in order here. i know that God has taken care of every detail so far, and i am learning to rely on the fact that all the details that need to be taken care of here will be worked out, and so i need to stop worrying (easier said than done).
keep praying for asher to be able to pass his swallow test. we have seen him swallow, but he has to do it in front of the folks who conduct the test.
also, please pray for the skate board competition benefit for asher on july 1 and 2. i know that all of those who came up with this idea and who are working hard to organize it would appreciate your prayers. they have all been such an incredible encouragement to us, as have all of you.
continuing to give thanks in all things,

"Though you have made me see troubles,
many and bitter,
you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
Psalm 71:20

Lord God, we give you all the honor and glory. Continue the good work you have begun in Asher. Restore him to complete health, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Andy, I praise God this morning for the approval to go to this center... what a huge answer to prayer. When I read about Asher licking the popcycle, it moved me to pray for him even more and to continue to pray for total healing. God is very close.
