6 months ago the doctors said 18 months before we will know how well Billy will recover! Just goes to show everyone that doctors can only do so much, and thank God for what they do, but God is the Great Physician.
6 months (not 18) and Billy has recovered much faster than any person might imagine possible. We should pray that he will continue to grow strong and improve in the upcoming days, weeks, even months.
He is doing fine recovering from his surgery on Friday. He was giving the nurses a hard time in critical care and told them they were too noisy. He told them it was a good thing their boss was not around or they would all be fired! He is now in room 543 and improving every day. He has a drain in his back for the spinal fluid that was leaking. He may get it removed tomorrow, if so, they will watch him for another couple of days to be sure all is well. After that he may get to go home.
God is still holding Billy in his healing hands and working a miracle through him. Please keep praying that God’s Will be done and that Billy will be home soon. Pray that he and Gina will have strength and understanding about the future, and knowledge to help them make decisions on uncertainties.
