a new dipstick...
dr. young came in this morning and decided that a new ICP monitor should be put in. he wanted to be able to monitor what was going on with the brain a little closer again. he said that there wasn't really any change one way or the other this weekend from what he can see. his numbers (blood pressure, etc) have been pretty stable. doc reminded us again not to focus on the numbers....he said it will "drive us bonkers". mom and i talked this morning and thought it would be good to spend the day praising God that dad has made it this long and that he has already overcome a lot of obsticles this week. thanks for your prayers and comments, they are very encouraging to us.

I just wanted to let you know that I continue on an almost daily basis (I sometimes forget) to pray for your Dad and all of you. I know this is a very hard time for all of you. We know God will do what He thinks is best. We just need to keep trusting him.
I was happy to read that there has been some improvement, however.
I'll keep praying and will bring it to our Ladies Prayer group that meets on Tuesday morning
Maley Family,
I just wanted you to know that I have my whole dorm and our brother dorm praying for your dad and I am praying as well. I love you all!!
I was going to wait and write this
in a card, but felt moved to tell you here... do you know how many people are talking to the Lord because of this situation with your family?
literally hundreds of people are spending time with their Jesus instead of doing something else...
an up side of a down situation.
Just wanted to let you know that you are still forfront in my daily prayers. Thank you for this Blog so we can all be updated on Jim's condition. I find it the first thing I am checking every morning. Our hearts and prayers are with you always! Love, Aimee
It is good that your sense of humor, "new dipstick" is still coming through. We pray daily.

Hi Sue, Lynette, and family,
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you strengh and comfort during this difficult time. Please let me know if I can help in any way. May God give Jim comfort and healing according to his will. May God bless each one of you. Your Mary Kay Friend, Cheryl Nietert
Dear Sue and wonderful family, We have been, and will continue to pray unceasingly for you..I echo the gratitude for the daily updates;I can check them at work at night and pray throughout the night for you; we have a lot to pray about on a daily basis, it seems, and it is our good pleasure to specifically lift you up too! When we faced one of life's trials, one of the kids made a poster to hang on the wall that said,"Obstacles become opportunities with God"....I think that has been an understatement for us, and I pray, for you too..just remember, He gives you the grace for today...don't think about tomorrow..He'll give you grace then too when you need it..focus on the joy and peace you can muster today, and we are always here for you, if there is any large or small thing we can do. We love you all very much, John and Lorraine Sommer and family
Maley family - I continue to uphold your family in prayer and check the blog every day for new progresses. Thank you for providing such a wonderful spot for all of us to gather in support of your family and Jim.

Jason and family. I am glad that Jim is getting through some obstacles and past others. Kathy and I will keep you and Jim in our prayers during this time of waiting on what God wants for Jim. Thanks for your heart, your
witness, and your friendship.
In Christ, Phil Gallup
I can't even count the number of times I caught myself thinking of you all today. I miss you and hope each of you gets a good night sleep. Kelli if you are alone tonight I will be with you in spirit to protect you :) So go to sleep! Give each other a big hug goodnight from me and have sweet dreams.
Praying for you all,
Merrie

John 3:16
There have been countless talks between Jim and I over many years of what a fine gift OUR LORD has given to us...Jesus. He would always become emotional when he would share the fact that OUR LORD loved him and wanted a personal relationship with him. Nothing could get in the way of Jim's bond with a loving LORD...and the assurance of HIS Salvation through Jesus Christ.
Continue to bring Jim before our LORD...Jesus

Sue and Family, I will pray for you all, and most especially Jim. We just found out on the ACFW Indiana group and we are all praying. I love all the photos, though I only know Sue, it helps to be most specific in praying. Lifting you to the highest place,

Dear Maley Family,
Wanted to tell you that I"ll uphold you in my prayers, and sooo sorry that you all have to go through this.
I remember that some years back, Jim and Sue, you did alot for Blackhawk Single Mom's at your home for a number of times, and we never forgot that! Thank you! Your family is wonderful, and I'm praying for complete healing.
