*Urgent - Re: Dad Kohls*

****Please Pray***

Dad Kohls was using the snow blower this morning and in some way had an accident and has lost two fingers. Mom and Dad are at the hospital now and that's all we know at this time. We are hoping the fingers can be reattached. Please pray for Dad and please pray for Mom.

Hello Everyone,

No news yet today on Angela's progress, but I will post right away if and when I hear from the family. I do know that Angela was speaking just a small bit yesterday and recognized one of her cousin's mother (Chris) by name!! Isn't that is so awesome?!!

In the mean time, here are some passages regarding Angela's experience and how The Lord is using her life to touch many, many, people.

How Angela’s life has effected us through the blog. Watching The Lord work in her life and ours.

Luke 6:19
and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.

Our Prayers For Angela & One Another
Proverbs 15:4
The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones

Psalm 6:2
Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.

Christ Along Side Us In Prayer
Psalm 68:19
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Selah

Galatians 6:2
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Praise
Psalm 30:2
O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.

Psalm 107:20
He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

Isaiah 53:2-5
…He wasn’t some handsome king. Nothing about the way he looked made him attractive to us. He was hated and rejected; his life was filled with sorrow and terrible suffering. No one wanted to look at him. We despised him and said “He is a nobody!” He suffered and endured great pain for us, but we thought his suffering was punishment from God. He was wounded and crushed because of our sins; by taking our punishment he made us completely well.

Psalm 20:6
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.

**Update From Troy **

Hi Everyone,

Troy just called with a quick update and said they're taking the ventilator out now, but they don't want Angela to try and vocalize too much for the next 6 to 8 hours.
** He asked please, please limit visits today so she can have a chance to re-stabalize**

Can anyone believe how awesome it is to see Angela recovering so well after what she's been through? She almost lost her life twice and yet The Lord has seen fit to save her both times and sustain her healing.... Lord You deserve ALL of the credit!!! We can do nothing without You. You give us our talents, skills, and everything we have. You give her doctors the knowledge and wisdom to skillfully help her, You give her medical team the knowledge and wisdom to care for her completely. You are an amazing and awesome God!! \O/ Thank You Lord for hearing our prayers and for Your love.

Update*

Hi all, this is Michelle, Ang's cousin. WOW! What a difference a week makes!! After visiting Ang last Wed (Jan. 10}, I wasnt sure what to think, so I checked the blog about 100 times a day to see the latest updates, as well as having constant contact with our family. Today I was able to go see her again. And again, I say WOW! It was unbelieveable to see her eyes open and her body moving and lips trying to speak. I asked her "Do you know who I am?", she nodded yes, looking me dirrectly in the eyes. I then said "Its Michelle.", she nodded in agreement. My heart raced with excitment. I asked her to squeeze an item they had given her to squeeze and she looked me right in the eye and squeezed so hard, as if to say, "Yes, Im here, I understand you and I can do it!" Amazing! I was there about an hour and I also saw her moving her mouth a few times, when i asked her something, as if she was trying to speak. I know she has a long way to go, but I know she is going to get there. She is a fighter!! I do believe we will all see her smile and hear her larger than life laugh again.

Michelle

I am Angela's husband & I would like the opportunity to gracefully correspond with you via email. Please email me with your concerns & comments to troykohls402@aol.com. Thank you

**Update - As of 1:06pm

Hello Everyone,

Greg just called with the following updates:

The neurologist is wanting to do the following three things within the next few days.
1) Take out the ventilator
2) Take out the catheter draining fluid off of the brain
3) Begin to see if Angela can take soft solid food.

The first two will be a test at first to see if Angela will be allright without them. If it works out, then they will keep them off. The fluid on the brain seems to be sufficiently drained and/or draining on it's own at this time.

These are mighty words of good news. Thank You Lord for Your continued healing of Angela. You are so gracious and good. \O/
