May 23 Saturday 3pm
I’m here with dad right now. He is moving his left foot a lot & coughing a lot. He still moves his lips when I tickle them & I can see his eyelids squint a bit as if he’s closing them tighter. He doesn’t have a fever & his blood pressure is good. His heart rate did go pretty low this morning, into the 30’s. He’s back in the 70’s now. He looks so good. So young & handsome. It feels as if he is in & out of here. I believe with all my heart that if the Lord wants him here, dad will fight & come back and if he has a greater calling on the other side, he will magnify it above and beyond what is expected of him. This is precious time right now. I get to hold his hand & see his foot move & see his heart rate rise when I sing to him. I love him so much & I know he can feel it.

Summer, thank you so much for posting the pics and video of your dad. I along with another ACS friend came to visit John today. He looks so good!! I felt so at peace being with John today. If a miracle is meant to happen, it will. Keep the faith!

I am the other ACS friend (or as I say ACS family)! I swear when I told him I thought it was time to wake up, he did his little grin. I am going to believe that! He looked so good today! Thanks for the blog so we can all be updated everyday! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you everyday! John is loved by so many! Melinda
ReplyDeleteI worked with John in ACS. I am holding my belief that one day he will come back and be with us. Thank you so much for this blog, Summer. I visit it everyday and I pray for him everyday!

I also want to thank you for this blog. My thoughts have constantly been with John, and I hope and pray for his recovery. I know that if the Lord needs him on the other side, that he will do a wonderful job. John has always been a pleasant person to work with, and he was never too busy to help me with questions that I had about different programming issues. If he is called home, I will miss him.
ReplyDeleteI knew your Father as a young man. We grew up together in Holladay. We spent many hours playing basketball, and trying to find ways to annoy Peter. I was always willing to sit in a room and listen to John play the piano. One time at my house he played while my parents hosted a party in the next room. The party stopped and everyone came in to listen to John. We went separate ways in high school, but hooked up again after our missions. He was a good friend. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. gary midgley
