Well, Lincoln had another great day yesterday as you can probably tell by the pics! They were able to get him completely off of another heart medication called Dopamine and off 1 of his 3 pain medications. He still has a ways to go, it's a sloooooow process. They do not want to rush anything! Now that he is feeling better he is actually being a little feisty with his nurses. He is letting them know that he doesn't like to be touched so much now that he is more alert. He actually kept his eyes open for about 30 min as Kristen and I laughed and played with him. We think he has blue eyes! The plan for today still remains the same...keep comfortable, keep peeing!, and slowly wean medication and ventilator setting. Thank you all for your steadfast prayers and support...we love you all! J&K

Lincoln is so adorable. We are rejoicing with you in the progress he has made and will continue to lift him up to the Lord. We have friends praying for Lincoln from Seattle to Mexico City! Thanks for the updates--it is great to know specifics to pray for!

Hi Guys,

Wow! Lincoln looks fabulous! When the pictures popped up, Ethan's first comment was..."Lincoln's awake now?" He still prays twice a day for his buddy!

What a special posting today! I welled up with tears as I read your note! Happy to see smiles on your faces!
With all my love,

Josh and Kristen,
What can I say!!!!!!!!!!!! You've got such a BEAUTIFUL boy!!!! He looks soooo good and it is wonderful to see his eyes so alert. It did my heart good to hear you say you both laughed and played with him for 30 minutes yesterday. What a gift from God! I will now pray, too, that he will get used to his nurses buggin' him. Keep your eyes focused on our gracious and merciful Lord.
I am so thankful to Him!!
Love you guys,
Linda and George

All Smiles Here!!!! If you look at the top picture on your June 19th post, and compare it to today’s pictures, he looks a thousand times more healthy. He is really getting cute. Its good to see everyone smiling. I’m sure Lincoln would be smiling if he didn’t have that darn tube in his mouth. Well, we’ll pray that each day continues to bring more health for him.

I can’t wait until you all get transported back to Fresno, hoping soon!!! Take care, thanks for the update, it made our day….The Doswalds

What a wonderful sight! Little Lincoln has his eyes wide open telling the world "Here I am!" What a gift he is as are you both. We will keep praying for him as his days increase; we will pray for you both for continued strength for the long haul ahead. We look forward to more "Lincoln Blogs" that come daily to remind us of God's great power to change our lives with the sending on an other angel to earth! Chaplains Ed & Jackie Linn

Kris & Josh,

He looks so good!! Josh & I were so excited to see him with his eyes wide open, and to think of you interacting with him. I too got teary eyed just thinking how good God is, and how much He has done for Lincoln so far. I don't know how people can handle things without God. I'm so glad we have Him to trust in. Keep resting in Him. I'm sure you have all been quite a testimony to the nurses and doctors around you. We continue to pray for all of you! God is good.

Love, Chris & Josh
