Jack just got released from the hospital. He is able to be at home rather than having to live in a rehab center. His doctors got to where they would walk in the room and just shake their heads at this miracle child.

He has a long ways to go, but there are some very encouraging signs - being able to come home, the latest scans continue to show improvement, and he can perform cognitively (for example, he can work puzzles). He can eat, and he can walk with assistance.

His eyelid is still paralyzed. He has to have it taped open for several hours a day. He gets exhausted easily and has sensitivities to sounds, etc. He has a lot of rehab ahead of him, but the therapists are very hopeful.

God has truly been at work healing this child whom the doctors had given up all hope for. Thanks so much for your prayers! I am sure that the family will appreciate continued prayers. While the critical time seems to be behind us, yet the days ahead will still hold many difficulties and adjustments.

Thanks again for your interest and prayers!
