PRAYER UPDATE: REV. Adrian Shepard, WILMINGTON, NC.
Some encouraging news. The EEG showed no visible damage to brain tissue. Adrian was fairly alert for a brief time today and knew Joyce and Kris. They are weaning the ventilator and will try to remove it tomorrow. There is still much concern as the doctors have not determined what is causing the tremor activity that brought him to the hospital initially. Please continue to pray.
