Jude’s Story Is Still Being Written
Dear Church,
Updates on Jude’s condition might’ve slowed down, as of late, but that hasn’t meant that Jude isn’t progressing. Quite the opposite, in fact. I will try and summarize some of his family’s updates on his recovery over the past few days.
Greg says that Jude’s been called a “moving target” since the doctors are having a hard time keep up with the proper treatments and therapy. He has started to walk and talk. He is still largely unaware of what is going on, which is a huge item of prayer as he becomes more and more aware. Currently, he is facing another serious surgery to put his skull back in place. After which, if all goes well, he will be moved to out-patient therapy.
Your cards and notes and gifts are very much appreciated. They are like tokens of blessings, helping them along as they deal with this life-changing situation.
Prayer Requests
He isn’t tolerating food very well. Please pray that he gets his appetite back or that the doctors can determine if there’s something that causing his nausea.
Pray for his short-term memory to improve as he undergoes further therapy.
Pray for the surgery to replace his skull bone.
Card Shower
Jude is turning 16 on Thursday, April 28. Let’s wish him a very happy birthday by showering him with cards and notes!

A long way to go, but God’s definitely not done yet. Not by a long shot. Jude’s story is still being written.
For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37)
Thank you for your prayers 🙏
