Shepard center
We have been welcomed by the staff and offered such help! I have a computer tech helping me with this message and he has installed a puff system for Marvin to change channels and dial the phone. He will sit in a wheel chair tomorrow and take a swallow test to see when he can have food. We are so hopeful and so is the staff here. He shares a ward with three others and we will meet them more later. Tomorrow we meet the doctors for a discussion of his injury and what he has back and what the prognosis is at this point. In a hour I will leave with Vicky Wilson who is Laura's stepmother and such a wonderful help on this trip. She and Laura's dad have offered me a place to stay until some housing opens here! God has provided so many wonderful people to help us and lift our spirits.
Thank you for your prayers

Hi Cathin and Marvin. Happy to hear the trip went well and that a full schedule is on tap for tomorrow. We pray for you two every day. We pray for a quick and full recovery. Bob and Marie D
I just returned from visiting Marvin at Shepard this evening and was shocked to find him sitting up and eating. the chair he was in was equiped with a puffer tube to control the motion of the chair. He also had a puffer tube to call the Nurse. Marvin was exhausted from all he had done today but I watched him eat his first meal in three weeks. Not a lot but a start.
I am going to try and send a picture I took of Marvin this evening to Kristen so she can post it on the blog. They are at a difficult place and need our prayers and positive support more now than even before. Bill Moore
