We actually received some good news today. While yesterday the doctors told us that Curtis probably would not improve past where he was yesterday due to his injuries, today he has had movement which may indicate more brain stem function. In addition to the movements, he is now breathing on his own. He is still hooked up with cpap so the machine could supply breath if he fails to do so. We are elated to see these improvements as yesterday the prognosis was bleak.
Everyone of us here continues to visit with Curtis and let him know we are supporting him through his tough time. He is still having movements of his arms and feet but his doctors say most of these are consistent with his remaining brainstem function. Because we have spent so much time with Curtis, we feel some of his movements are responses to us . We are still hopeful that he will continue to improve.

In Jesus' name, not by MY authority, but by ONE drop of blood that was spilled on the cross, with that authority, I lift you up Curtis Childers and your(our) family. I pray that our heavenly Father would CONTINUE to work miracles in this situation. Lord, your word tells us that you will use the foolish things of this world to confound the WISE(Doctors in this case), and we THANK YOU for your presence in this emotional and critical time. We lift up Curtis to you. I petition that you would do as you did when you walked among us, and heal my preciouse cousin. As with Lazurus Lord, raise him from this state that he would praise and be a witness to you. I also pray for my family, that you would give us strength to withstand whatever your will may be. Give us Wisdom to accept your will Lord. However, I do pray that you would let Curtis continue in life. Let him come to know you even more, and be a witness to your mircacle and Love. I also pray Lord...........that you would heal our family. Heal our wounds. Heal our doubts. our hurts. And most important, to me anyway, our relationships with each other. I do pray this Lord. WE praise you, for you are the ONLY one worthy of praise, and we thank you in advance for what you are going to do in Curtis' life. We give you the Glory in all things, Amen. James Michael
