Saturday, October 31st

Praise to God, Marty has turned the corner finally. He is breathing unassisted and has been sitting up for 10-15 minutes every day. His infection has disappeared and he has been making great progress the last 2 days. The doctor has said that if this continues, he should be able to move to the next phase of his recovery and leave the ICU in a week or so.

This proves the power of prayer and Brian, Rhonda, Matthew, Michael, the entire Smith and Remington families want to thank everyone for all the prayers that have been said on Marty's behalf.

Now comes the hard part for Marty. He will be in continuing rehab for the next 6-8 weeks, if not longer. He is still in need of your prayers and good thoughts. Rhonda has been at the hospital day and night with only a short break since the accident, which was almost 4 weeks ago. Brian has been there as much as possible, while trying to continue working as much as he can. It has been a tough time for all of them, and your prayers, dinners and visits have really sustained them.

Thanks to everyone,

The Smiths
