I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Bill Locy, a well-known neuro-psychologist, in mid-February, just before Ed was moved from Select Hospital to Monaco Parkway. At that time, I said that I didn't know God's plan for Ed yet. Dr. Locy told me that at some point, it would become very, very clear to me, and that my certainty of knowledge would be much greater than my current uncertainty.
I have been feeling more and more that God's plan is to have Ed recover, and I became very certain of that last Thursday. I have no idea of when or how. Ed has shown no significant improvements, but I still feel very clear about this.
So, we're just continuing to love him and talk with him and pray.
Ed is currently recovering from a relatively mild case of pneumonia, which is a common problem in his situation. They are giving him antibiotics, and he is now coughing very little. His temperature is also staying normal, which is a good sign. He definitely hasn't given up, and we haven't either.
Please feel free to visit and talk with Ed. We all very much appreciate your prayers and caring!

Hey, Marian. You are an amazingly strong woman! I hadn't read this blog for the past two days. Today, as I was driving through Grant Ranch under incredibly blue skies, I prayed that God would reveal his plan to you. Then I saw this update this evening. Please know I continue to pray for all of you. I was happy to spend time with Ed last Monday; I'll try to do that again soon. Hope to see you in church tomorrow. Blessings, Karla
Marian and family,
Thank you so much for continuing to keep everyone informed. We continue to pray for your family's strength and Ed's recovery. God bless you.

Dear Marian: Kathy Mihm phoned me back in January and told me about Ed's illness and the blog where I could follow his progress. I wanted to let you know I have been thinking of you and your family ever since. I send you all my best wishes and hopes for Ed's recovery. What a difficult time this has been for you. Julie Zerbe
Dear Marian:
I don't know your husband, but my husband worked with your husband prior to all of this. We're Christians...and we have been lifting Ed before the throne of grace on a daily basis...asking for God to bring him back to full health. We know He can. We're trusting that He will.
We'd like to visit Ed and pray over him some time in the near future....if that's okay.
God bless,
Jen Hoos
Thank you for the continued updates as you must know how many people care. I wanted you to know that Ed and the entire family have been in my thoughts and prayers since the beginning word. It is a beautiful thing you all seem to be holding up so well. My love to you!
