"Thanks be to God." i haven't often heard gloria say that, but in the last few days it has been regularly spoken by her. she said it over the phone to me just a few minutes ago when i told her that susan, the representative from the Shepherd Spinal Center in Atlanta, had called to say that our insurance company had approved asher to go there for medical care (in order to get him ready for rehab). susan had just gotten a call from our medical case worker in nashville who has been assigned to us by our insurance company giving her the good news. she also told me that it is rare for insurance companies to approve coverage for medical care with them. the only reason they generally do it is if the patient seems like they have potential for improvement. so, thanks be to God, another amazing prayer has been answered, and it looks like they may have a room for asher as early as monday.
gloria also shared with me that, this afternoon, asher discovered the red light on his finger monitor that records his blood oxygen levels. somehow he managed to get his hand in front of his face and she said that he just kept staring at the red light on his finger like he was in amazement.
dr. boehm, asher's neuro doctor came by today, too, and he got to hear asher making noises in his throat (he does this quite a lot now, and even sounds like he is trying to say words). after listening to him for a little while, dr. boehm said that he felt like asher might actually be able to start talking soon. that would be so incredibly wonderful to be able to talk to him and have him be able to verbally respond.
again, we are so tremendously indebted to each one of you for being so faithful to pray, and to also rejoice with us as those prayers are being answered throughout each day.
continued blessings on you all,
andy mendonsa
