March 2nd - Update

Sorry for the delay for an update on Mike but January and February have been pretty rough. Mike is now off of his antibiotics. His pneumonia has cleared. He is still at Plano Speciality Hospital. He has been evaluated by Timber Ridge in Benton Arkansas which is a TBI Rehab Facility. Sonny and I are waiting to hear back from Touchstone Neuro in Houston. They are supposed to evaluate Mike this week. Once this is done we will then have to decide what our next step is. Mike took a really big step back but we are confident, prayerful and we know that God continues to be in control. Once I know what the next step is, I will have Sharron post about Mike's move. Thank you for your continued prayers for Mike.
