The day was dull but the night was 'interesting'

I did very little all day long as I did not have much too do. There is some good news regarding Kevin Furness. He does seem to be improving. Kevin has had another fairly good day. He sat out for 10 minutes today and found it exhausting. He has no strength in his muscles yet. He also had about 4 1/2 hours off the ventilator. He finds this quite exhausting and pleads to be put back on it, but it's a matter of him keeping 'practising' - there's no way through this except the hard way.

So we need to keep praying for building up of stamina for him, and for patience while it's happening.

He is also pleading for water or drinks. He was able to have flavoured ice blocks for a day or so but his body is unable to differentiate yet where the fluid goes and some of it ends up in his lungs, so they have now stopped this. He feels very dry and thirsty and would like Jenny to (underhandedly) get him a drink. Of course this is not going to happen!

The news is all positive however. It's hard going but it is 'normal' hard going and will improve with time and hard work.

The Shiraz group met again in the evening at Rod Geri's house (in the back shed mainly). We seemed to spend a lot of time discussing motorcycles (this in interesting!). It was a great night as usual. We spent time in prayer for Kevin and Jenny.

There were only five of us present but we had a good night as usual! Geoff Bray surprised us when he announced that he and his wife Sandy are having a trial separation!!
