Still super sleepy

Hello All,

An update about Derek.  

He is still super sleepy and sleeping a large part of the day.  We ask him pretty regularly if he is comfortable and by the grace of the Almighty, he has no pain. 

I am not sure what to say, but he is tired and comfortable.  He is happy and at peace.

Thanks for all the prayers

That's all for now folks,

Zell

    Thank you Zell for the update. I am crying and also very happy that you have created this site to keep us informed. I would love to come and see him. I get home Monday from my grad studies. My mom is wearing his shirt now and every time I see her. We love him dearly.

    Prayers for peace and continued freedom from pain. Words don't do the feelings of sorrow any justice.
