i just spoke with gloria and she said that asher had a pretty restless night. they had to give him tylenol and morphene. he had actually gone 2 days without getting anything in the night. dr. boehm came in to see asher this morning and he is continuing to be optimistic about asher's condition. he expressed surprise that, given asher's injuries, he is progressing as quickly as he is. again, he said to gloria not to lose faith. i just cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful dr boehm has been to us since that first night after asher's fall when he was brought to the emergency room. please pray for dr. boehm.
actually, you could also pray for one other doctor, but for a different reason. we have yet to see an ounce of compassion coming our way from him. he comes across like a raging rhino and you can see the way that other hospital staff seem to be intimidated by him as a result of his seeming lack of compassion. at first i was pretty angered by the way that he has been coming across with us, but now i am moved to pray for him.
with the exception of this one doctor, though, our experience with every one else, especially all of asher's nurses, has been beyond belief.
please pray for asher to have a better day. the consensus is that he had a bad night because he is waking up more, which would make a lot of sense based on what we have witnessed so far in his making continued progess.
also, please pray for gloria to get some rest. it is much harder for her to do this than me, which is understandable, she is asher's mother.
thank you all eternally for continuing to love us through prayer. the effects are being seen everywhere we turn.
to borrow a term i first heard from a dear friend, wayne johns,
seeing with eternal eyes,

Praise the Lord for Asher's progress!!
Life weaves an intricate pattern
of love,and joy and pain
Touched with the gold of sunlight
Tempered by drops of rain;
Every design is perfect
The weave, the texture the hue
Have faith in the MASTER CRAFTSMAN
And he will see you through!
Rememering all of you faithfully in my prayers.

Dear Andy, Gloria, Hadrianna and Asher,
I am thrilled to learn that our prayers have been answered by Asher's being transfered to Shepherd's , in Atlanta.
For me presonally, it has been an amazing journey and an awesome priveledge to be a part of... and witness to.... the faithfulness and goodness of God,....as you've conveyed that so thuroughly, honesty and with such humility on the Asher's Update.
You can be assured that the congregation at R.P. will continue to pray for all of you during this transition to Atlanta, as we did yesterday in our congregational prayer.
I want to express my esteem, love and gratitude for all of you, in allowing us to be a part of an authentic faith in action by keeping us hopeful, expecting, trusting, rejoicing and confident in the goodness and soverignty of God .......................without having any certianty of what the future holds .
your friend,
