Written by Dr. & Mrs. Keith Gomez @ 7:00AM

I spoke to Josh for quite awhile last evening. He had his one eye open. He was very aware of what was going on around him. The doctors have reduced his pain medication substantially. He is still struggling with his pneumonia; however, he continues taking the treatments which are helping, but making him weak and tired. Josh is broken-hearted about us being here with him in California. Tears flow from his eye.  He doesn’t understand the full scope of what he’s been through.

I want to thank all the California preachers that have responded so well.  A very special thank you to Pastor Mike Johnson for all that he has done for Josh, Carla and me. And thank you so much to these California preachers who have assisted us in so many ways: Pastor Mike Ray, Pastor Steve Nichols, Pastor Jack Trieber, Pastor John Evertson, Pastor Dick Hedger, and Pastor Tim Ruhl. Also, thank you to Pastor Larry Stark of Iowa who was here on vacation. These men have been so gracious with their visits, phone calls, gifts of money for expenses, truck loads of food, and most importantly, their friendship in our time of need.

A special thank you to each and every preacher across the nation, who has called us, prayed for us and responded to our needs. Please continue to pray for Josh as he makes his miraculous recovery.
