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,
andy mendonsa

Dearest Gloria Andy and Hadrienne,
Just want you all to know that we and all of the Bahai's and their friends and families continue to pray for Asher's recovery. I will share these wonderful updates with them. Please let us know if there is something we can do for you to support you, especially since Asher is going to be in Atlanta.
much love to you!
