Update on Moody

Moody, although doing so much better than

when i saw him at the beginning of the week,

still is in critical condition and on a vent.

Today will be a big day as when the ECHO

is repeated today, we will know how much of his 

heart is now working. It was only 10 percent

when he was moved to ICU so we hoping for any number

higher than 10 will get us excited.

I was so relieved to see him more alert,

squeezing Ann's hand with each question we asked

if the answer was YES.

I, known to tease him always,

(We have a love/hate relationship but more love…)

started teasing him and as I asked certain sill questions

I'd say show me a smile and around his vent tube

he cracked one side of his lips, 

best smile I have ever seen in a long time,

gave me so much relief as our Moody is still there.

I was able to speak to the nurse and she said

when company comes in he is so much more alert.

I wish he could see how many people have been through

that ICU waiting room since this all happened.

I wish we had thought of earlier, getting a 

guest book for all to sign when they visited

so when he is better he can see how many people

came out to give him prayers, his family hope

and love. It is overwhelming the amount of 

people who are there at any time of the day.

Now a new week begins so people are returning to work,

we will not leave our Ann alone at all, 

I am heading to spend the night with her on Wednesday

unless he is out of ICU. 

On the last visit with him, he looked tired

but still awake for us. I share with him a small part of

what is in my heart,

"Moody, I usually pray for God's will in every situation.

But with you, I am being selfish, I refuse to pray for 

nothing but a complete recovery for you, I will

not give up on that prayer."

That time I didn't have to ask to see a smile,

He willingly looked me in the eye and pulled

one corner of his mouth out to show me a smile.

Oh our Moody, keep fighting our trooper.

With all the scrap jobs I have, going to  make 

a small guest book to bring to hospital because

one day, he will want to know all who came out

to rally around him, all who love him and his family.

Continued prayers are appreciated by all who love 

our Addison's.
