Long Overdue Update!

It's been almost a month since David has been home!

And it's been a good month of getting settled back at home for the Bakers - getting settled into a new routine of lots of therapy at TIRR and at Shriner's with some TOP KNOTCH therapists, and lots of therapy at home (with some non-professional but equally top knotch therapists: Matt & Kathe!) - memory games, reading comprehension, tennis, drum lessons, journaling, and swimming to name a few! David Baker is a busy man working to regain his short term memory! And his parents are busy helping him too!

As far as David's physical health, he has continued to improve and has been doing great!

However, in the last 24 hours, David has experienced 3 major headaches.

If you read this this morning, please thank God for His protection of David thus far, and His grace over the past month. Pray also for David's brain to settle down. Pray that the headaches and pain would cease and that Dr. Chen is able to call the Bakers back as soon as possible with some wisdom to speak into the situation.

Pray for peace and for fear to again, be bound from entering the Baker's hearts...a headache to most of us seems minimal, no cause for alarm. A headache in the Baker's world is a lot scarier than that. Pray that they would all have the strength to cling to Jesus and His Word and to not operate out of a spirit of fear.

Thanks for checking in on David!!
