I love this picture! I have heard that with every step forward you take two steps back in the medical world. Mrs. Alice had a rough night on the 17th. They could not find a blood pressure all night. A night nurse told us that he thought she was going to die, but she didn't! They put an arterial line in her last night. This helps them receive a better blood pressure reading. It took them an hour to do it. When they were finished, her heart was beating 170 times per minute which is almost double what it should be. The good thing was her blood pressure was better than they thought. Today, her blood pressure remained good all day. Actually, they took her off of all of her blood pressure medication which is a big step. She is handling it very well right now. Her heart rate came down to 82 which is a good rate. Her vent settings remain the same. We are thankful that they have not had to turn it up. Please continue to pray for Mrs. Alice. She is here for a reason and we are so glad to have her!
Beth is still doing good. They are going to send her home on Saturday! We are so thankful that Beth is making great progress. She still can't bend or put pressure on her leg, but in time she will! Please continue to pray with us for her. It is going to be hard for her to leave Montgomery with her mom still being here. We are believing that Mrs. Alice will not be too far behind Beth.
Thanks for all of the love, prayers, and support. We could not make it without all of you!
P.S. I did not know it at the time, but the bible verse I posted yesterday is Mrs. Alice's favorite bible verse. God works in mysterious ways.
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I AM PROUD THAT BETH IS MUCH BETTER. LOVE EDDIE NEWSOME AND FAMILY

I am so glad that Beth is getting to come home and am very glad and thankful for the improvements Mommy Alice has made. I know God already has worked a miracle, but I believe He is working one right now for Mommy Alice! Everyday we need to thank and praise God for the miracle He is working! We just need to keep our eyes on Jesus! Like the story where Peter stepped out of the boat when he saw Jesus walking on the water. As long as he kept his eyes on Jesus, he walked on the water too. But as soon as he started looking at the storm and the circumstances, he started to sink. Yet still when he cried out Jesus was right there to save him. It dosen't matter the circumstances or even what doctor's say, Thank God He is in control and He is always right there to save us! Sometimes it's hard not to look at the circumstances, but we serve a God that has always been able to help us overcome any circumstance we face. He healed the lame, caused the blind to see, and raised the dead to live again; and He is still that same miracle working God today! Our REDEEMER LIVES! He was walking on Hwy 84 that night and He's still in Montgomery right now! I am praying for all of you and I love you all very much!
