Update on Fr. Nigel- 12/3

Fr. Nigel Update 9:58 AM

Thursday 12/3/09

Fr. Nigel Mumford has been moved from Saratoga Hospital to a Rehab Center for physical rehabilitation. His move went very well and although he doesn’t have the intensive attention that he had at the ICU at Saratoga Hospital, this is a huge step forward in his recovery. He will be very busy at the Rehab Center strengthening his muscles so that he can do the most simple things that you and I take for granted. As an example, he lifted his arm over his head by himself for the first time yesterday. Thank You Lord for your healing touch!

He is continuing to experience very intense nausea and dizziness as he tries to stand. His legs aren’t strong enough to support him for very long yet, but he is trying so hard. Relief from the nausea and dizziness would help tremendously in his efforts to stand and strengthen his muscles.

Fr. Nigel is also still experiencing severe pain from his bed sore, so prayer for healing of this is important.
Fr. Nigel is continuing to receive some oxygen at a low level as he is still not able to breathe on his own yet. His lungs are working but not to their full capacity yet.

Let us pray for:
Immediate and complete healing of Fr. Nigel’s bed sore
Complete healing of Fr. Nigel’s lungs
Immediate relief from the dizziness and nausea
Peace to Lynn as she aids in Fr. Nigel’s recovery

Thanks and Praise to our Lord for the mustard seeds of improvement that are seen day by day. We Glorify you Lord. You are an Awesome God.
Thank you to all you prayer warriors for your continuing prayers and steadfastness to prayer for Fr. Nigel.
