9:50 p.m. D.C. time:
Well the end of the day brings us some praises:
We just got news back from the CT scan tonight, and it showed no blood clots in his lungs or legs! (Didn't know that the legs were an issue until now!) Second, the pneumonia isn't getting worse! Finally, we met some awesome people that live in the Fisher Home where Steve and I are staying. The Home has about 12 families living here, with a large kitchen, family, dining, and living area. Tonight as our family was cooking dinner, we met a Christian mom. She has a son, Brian (Earl), who was injured in Iraq last February. Besides Traumatic Brain Injury, he had many other serious injuries including an amputated lower leg. He is doing very well and was upstairs playing X-Box. She was very encouraging and wise! Praise God for an answered prayer there. There are also several young families with little babies here. They aren't my Bella, Brea, and Tobey, but may help to make up for some homesickness. Christa leaves tomorrow, and Laura on Monday. I will miss their love, support, and friendship. Thank God for cell phones! Now that was a brilliant idea! (Blogs were another great idea!) We just pray for safe trips home and peace as they leave their brother.
We were talking tonight about how there are prayers for David, from all over the world. Turkey, Germany, Iraq, Panama, Australia?, CA, CO, MO, GA, TX, NV, MN, SD, D.C., VA, MD, AR, UT, ... what states and countries am I still missing?! Let us know! Thanks again for all of your support, prayers, help at home, and encouragement. We could not do this without you or God. Patty

Patty and Steve,
It is nice to hear that you were able to find someone who can help you in this difficult time. God knows when we need that extra boost and always delivers. We have been praying all day for David to improve in some way. We have family and friends in HI, WA, FL, and OR off the top of my head that are not on the list. We all love and will continue to pray for all of you. Be strong and know that there are more people then you can imagine praying for your beautiful family. Our love and prayers...Lisa Anderson and family
Dear Huddleston family,
It is very reassuring that people out there are willing to offer you all hope and prayers as we are doing out here. At church tonight Nick Vujicic (the man from Australia born without arms and legs) spoke and I cannot even tell you how much it helped me believe that God loves us and how we will all be able to work through this obstacle for God only gives as much as we can handle. With this I am confident that we will all get through this, and most of all, David will get through this. You all are constantly on my mind, and look forward every day for these updates, just to know that God will guide us through to the very end.
May God keep blessing you each and every day.

We were glad to hear you are in the fisher home and with some people who can help comfort you. It is really inspirational to hear and see all the support for David...espcially from those of you there with him. I have heard comments to that effect from numerous pepole across the base and I know it is making a difference for David. We are all with you there in spirit and continue to pray...Mike Cote, family and the men and women serving at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey
We are happy to hear that you have more families to offer support. Reading your blogs has helped us realize that there is help out there. All you have to do is reach out for it. We continue to send strong prayers for David. Families do band together from all over the world HI, NY, NC, Barbados and Mexico. Never underestimate to power of God. Our hearts go out to you.
