Please keep in prayer baby Dominic. He has lost almost 1 lb. and still has jaundice. He is starting to eat every 2 hours; however, it is from a bottle. He has to go back to Dr. Russell tomorrow to see how his weight is and how his jaundice count is. Pray for Audrey and Peter too as they are somewhat anxious.

Thank you for your prayers!

TUE 1130 PM from his GrandmotherGrady [McGuire] has been taken off all sedatives, and we are hoping to seehim come out of the coma sometime soon although it may take hours. TheDr. said he is ahead of the schedule they usually see, but we are not outof the woods yet. The numbers are good and there has been a significntreduction in the swelling. There is still no prognosis as to when he willbe out of PICU or what he will be like when he does return to us. Weexpect major handicaps, but we can handle that. Only time will tell. Your prayers are helping a lot, and we are convinced that they are theonly reason we still have him with us. Of course he still has to undergoanother surgery to replace the part of the skull they removed in the lastsurgery. Jerry

Grady McGuire

The Mattock’s relative, Grady, is in need of prayer. Grady's Father is an Army SSgt having served several tours in Iraq.FRI Jun 12 Grady McGuire [3 years old] fell out a 2nd story window onto a concrete driveway. He is very severely injured, and they didn't think he'd make it. They did an emergency surgery about noon and removed a hemotoma the size of a plum, and were able to do it without taking any brain tissue. This afternoon his numbers were better, but he is a long way from being out of the woods. It could goeither way, and there still is no way to know how severe the damage to the brain is.Please pray for Grady's recovery and for the family.

Thank you!
