All day today, so far, they have received positive reports on little Elias!! He has had a slight fever, but it is lower than it was yesterday, and the doctors believe his body is fighting the infection.
They also decided to slowly start taking him off the ventilator, which is a good thing!
This afternoon, John was able to go in and see Elias, and he said that this was the first time that he has seen Elias awake and alert. Elias got so excited when his mom walked in the room that the nurses were doing everything they could to calm him down! They ended up making Luisa leave the room so that he would calm down some.
He is doing better than he was yesterday. Yesterday, it all looked grim. The doctor only gave him a 40% chance of survival. We sent out emails and prayer requests, and HUNDREDS, of people have been praying. Ruben and Luisa have been overwhelmed to see the messages and emails from people they don't even know!
After everyone started praying for a miracle, it was a amazing to see how God was working in his little body today!!! :)
This afternoon, a nurse rushed in to the unit and started telling everyone, "They are doing the procession outside with the little virgin. Go out there! She will make your family members all better." Literally everyone in the room (well, not the patients), but about 100 people, ran outside to pray to the little virgin and to give money, all with the hopes that she would heal and save their family member.
The only ones left were Ruben, Luisa, and John. The nurses asked why they weren't rushing out there too, because this would make him all better.
Ruben and Luisa have been a witness and testimony to the power of the one true GOD during their stay there!! They were able to share with the nurses today. They have been able to share with other family members that are there.
Praise the Lord for the work HE is doing! Praise Him for how He is already being glorified! May He continue to be glorified in all of this, and may He use this to be a testimony of Himself and to bring people to Him!!
Elias is still not out of the woods. They still consider these next 2 days as critical and say that if he is still doing good on Friday, then his chances of survival are really good.
