He's off the vent!
Great news Dan is off the ventilator! By last night Dan was breathing on his own without the ventilator. Last night the doctor was going to do a bronchacoscopy (test on his lungs) and he was unintentionally fighting them and the vent pulled out. So not only is his breathing better but he still has that fighting spirit! He is making more urine, but the area he needs the most healing is his kidneys. They are going to do a biopsy on his kidneys to find out the extent of damage. Your prayers are working so keep them coming. Mari told Melissa last night that as she was praying yesterday the Lord impressed upon her that He is using this whole ordeal with Dan to bring people together and reveal to them how powerful their prayers are when they are united. May He, the great healer continue to be lifted up and may our trust and faith in who He is and what He can do only increase! Next up lets see these kidneys restored and healed. Also, continue to pray that they identify the virus that caused all of this. Many blessings to you today!

What a huge encouragement for the family, and for those of us who have been praying. Our God is able to do ALL things--abundantly! Bev Stansbury
Thank you Zack for this blog. It is so nice to be able to know what is going on without having to call and bother the family.
Let Mari know I am praying fervently for her and Dan. God has been waking me every night and each time, Dan and Mari are the first people that come to mind.
Dan is a fighter, I wouldn't expect anything less of him, even if he is on a ventilator! I have watched God use Dan and Mari throughout the years in the medical community, and I am sure He has something special planned during this time.
If there is anything I can do...babysit or whatever, please feel free to call.
Love,
Lynne
