Prayer Request Updates...And A Lighthearted Praise

I have updates on all of the prayer requests I posted a couple days ago.

The McComiskey Family - Here is an email update from the senior pastor at Burnips:
Julie - She is heavily sedated and unaware of pain both in her body and her loss (They will likely keep her this way for a couple weeks). They have begun some of the many, many surgeries she will have to her upper body & face during the coming days. Pray for miraculous events to take place through this as a testimony to her, her family and the dozens of men & women caring for her.
Tabor - He sustained some burns during the rescue that are in the process of healing. He was not hospitalized, but is experiencing some of the pain associated with that. He is also carrying a heavy load in watching for his wife and grieving over the loss of his son. Pray for strength, pray for people who he will feel comfortable enough to be transparent & real with.

JoEllen & Burke Hummel - She had the triplets yesterday afternoon, emergency c-section. One of the three only lived a half hour, but both JoEllen and Burke were able to hold him. They were told early in the pregnancy that this baby may not live long, as there were complications. At least they were prepared that this may be a possibility, but does not take away the loss they are feeling. The other two babies are healthy and doing well so far.

Bob Smithee - He is doing much better. Stephen talked to the doctor yesterday, and he said that there is pneumonia in both lungs, but a possible mass behind the pneumonia. They will not be able to tell until the pneumonia clears up. He will be in the hospital for a week or so, and they are continually running tests. Stephen hopes to go see him again this afternoon.

PRAISE: Stephen and I were working with Titus again last night on walking, and he actually was taking steps (first time they weren't accidental)!!!! He took about 5-10 steps to get from one of us to the other, over and over again. We tried again this morning just to make sure he hadn't forgotten overnight, and he still was doing it :) WE ARE FINALLY GETTING THERE!!!!
