meredith here:
i have been spending the past hour prepping dinner and praising God to David Crowder's Remedy at the top of my lungs...knowing in my heart that it is my job to praise Him, which ushers in His Healing presence....here is the latest update from Davey.
oh ...usually doctors find out about this condition katie has post mortem....um, yeah. God is good....oh soooo good--no question.
update from davey:
"We were all sitting in a waiting room near Katie's room letting her rest when her nurse came out with a big smile on her face. As the nurse was walking by she looked in and there was Katie standing by her bed. Apparently she had gotten out of her restraints (one on each wrist and tied to the bed, explain that) and climbed out of bed and was standing there. So, now we don't have to wonder if her legs work.
I also wanted to take the time to express my thankfulness to Meredith for all her work on the blog. Much of this "community" experience and support has been a direct result of her work and for that we are truly grateful to you and her.
My parents and brother left this afternoon and Kyle and Karen got moved in. Please pray for their daughter Ava (approx 2yrs old) as this move will probably affect her as much as anyone.
p.s. - Dear Lord, bring them to their knees."

James 5:15-16, NAS
"and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
Phil. 4:6-7
"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and THANK HIM for what He has already done.
If you do this, you will experience God's peace which is far more wonderful than our mind can understand. His peace will guard your heart and mind as you live IN Christ Jesus."

I love your last sentence! I agree whole-heartedly. Why? Because it's not *about* Katie...it's about *God*.
I find myself checking this blog for updates at least twice a day...I don't even know you, but the Lord has impressed upon my heart to be praying for a complete recovery. Every time I open up this blog I keep expecting to see a headline something along the lines that Katie is fully awake and has made a complete recovery!
Lord, please show yourself in a mighty way!

Awesome awesome report! Will continue praying!

This is so great! I check this blog a lot...maybe too much! :) I am just so encouraged every time I look and see an update....I always know it'll be positive!! This is far better than any "reality tv" show that I could be watching! :) It's so much better watching God work how he is....it makes me smile.
Still Praying...
When all is said and done, and Katie is back at home with you all, I think a book needs to be written about Katie's Journey, including a complete chapter on being an escape artist!
This continues to be an amazing, awesome testimony of God's Goodness and Master Miracle Working Hands. God ROCKS!!!!
With all the stories that you will get to tell Katie of what adventures she's been up to in her hospital room, she'll be laughing for months at what she pulled off. I'm thankful that you are able to laugh during this valley - God is good to provide the relief of laughter!
Davey, Katie and family,
We have been praying daily since we heard what you are going through. We truly believe that God can work miracles and are praying for a HUGE one!:) We love you!
Love,
Dan, Andrea and Delaney from Colorado Springs
Hurray for meredith!!!!
Your right !Praise pushes back the darkness we are conquers through christ jesus...
Katy is determined I wonder where she got that? I love the stories trying to escape Laughter heals the hurt..
Davey, kyle, Karen,rest in peace
I too am a blog/update stalker, checking in whenever I walk past the computer (which seems to be pretty often) to read more about Katie and her recovery. It is a priviledge to be able to experience this miracle with you! Much love and never ending prayers for your beautiful wife, Davey!

Davey,
This post has me sitting with tears in my eyes on the goodness of our God! I will continue to pray for your family, for Katie's healing and for our God to be glorified in everything.
Thank you for sharing this journey with us.

God has more work for Katie to do for Him here. Praise our Awesome God.
Davey and Katie,
I'm praying for you! This has been such an opportunity for God to display His glory through your family. Your Emmaus family cares for you both. We'll continue to bring you needs before the throne.
Love in Him,

Davey and Family:
Troy and I are on vacation in Branson this week, but you have never been far from our thoughts. (thanks to the blog, we've kept up on progress). We are continuing to pray for Katie's complete recovery as well as for the adjustments that the rest of the family is making!
Troy & Twila Shreves
Davey-what a blessing it is to read these updates everyday-its amazing to think about our God using even this to bless so many people. I'm even blessed by other's comments! Please know that you and Katie and your dear children are being lifted up to our Heavenly Father. I'm praying especially for Tayler, Aubree and Sawyer-that God would comfort their little hearts and help them feel their mommie's love. 2Cor 1:3&4 Kathleen O.
How amazing that even in this storm you can continue to Praise His name. The Lord's grace and mercy is so amazing and it seems even when we feel "weak" the Lord lifts us up to feel so very strong!!
I love your last statement, it is so very true!! IF this will bring one soul to their knees, what a miracle!!
Thank you for your blog on sunday afternoon, it spoke to me so very much!
I am praying for you all often!!

Tears of Thankfulness along with Prayers of our Hope in Him are flowing here tonight.
Got very bad news about a dear friend today and then read Katie's blog tonight and was encouraged yet again!
How sweet of you to mention Ava amidst all the other "stuff".
I WILL be praying for Colin's little friend!
Glad I got to at least talk to your mom this morning...sorry I didnt catch her in time to give her a hug!

Hi. I am a high school friend of Katie's. I have been following your blog and appreciate the update. I am so THRILLED to hear of her progress. I continue to keep her and all her family in my prayers.

I heard this song on the radio today and had tears in my eyes as I thought of your family.
Matt Redman - You Never Let Go
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth
Chorus:
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
Continuing to pray in WI!

Hi. I heard about Katie through my sister, who works for Katie's dad. (Although I would swear that I have met your family before because your picture looks soooo familiar to me.) I have been praying for Katie and all of you since I heard about what was happening, and I am so thrilled at Katie's progress and that she is "defying man's logic"! I truly believe that God is using Katie and all of you to help others witness His miracles! God bless you!
Paula R., Ankeny (Pam DeVore's sister)
Praise God! It's exciting to read new progress every day! We are praying it continues!
Davey, Katie and family...
We just want you to know we, too, and our church are praying for you. My heart is praying for your kiddos this morning. The Lord is so able to comfort them and keep them distracted. I'll pray for supernatural strength for Davey when he comes home to them. He WILL supply ALL your needs according to His riches in glory (which are amazingly rich!)!
With prayers,
Beth Telecky (for Aaron and Beth!) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (I didn't even know we were neighbors!)
Praise the Lord!!!!!
Davey and Katie,
We have been praying like crazy for more and more miracles on Katie's behalf! There have been nights where I have awakened in the middle of the night feeling the need to pray for Katie's healing. I am comtinually amazed by the faith that your family is displaying even in light of a difficult situation. I know that God delights in honoring and responding to your prayers and your faithfulness! It is so encouraging to read this blog each day and see what new miracles God has worked for Katie!! We believe that the best is yet to come for the Bloom family and that Katie will be home with you soon!

I am part of the Real Estate community and have had the pleasure of doing a couple deals with Katie. While showing houses yesterday I cam across this quote and thought of her family.
"God Doesn’t Give Us What We Can Handle. God helps Us Handle What We Are Given"
I read the blog daily and it only reiterates the miracles that God gives us. Her family is in my Prayers!

Thought for the day..
What's God's will for us today?
That we give him permission too
admit us to the ICU unit... He
wants to do open heart surgery ...
. It's not about just showing up
for church on sundays, or saying
I"m a christian...
god's Question is..
CAN MY SON'S IMAGE BE SEEN THRU THOSES WHO SAY THEY ARE MY FOLLOWERS??
Or is my image more important???
God says.. How will people know you belong to me??
By the fruit of the spirit in their lives..
service is to long . It's all about him (not us) God says "How will others know you belong to me??By the fruit of the spirit in their lives ...
His question is can my image
M I or you willing to be admitted??
Found this blog linked on a friend's blog, and haven't been able to tear myself away. I love this story!!!!! What a testimony- and I pray that they will be brough to their knees, too. So many doctors are "men of science" and not faith- I love when something like this happens that shakes up their worlds. I cannot wait to hear Katie's side of this adventure~ you KNOW she has so much to tell us!
Prayers abound-
Andrea H., League City TX
I thought that I would be able to get through this without shedding a tear, but when I saw the post of Matt Redman's song it took me back to worship on Sunday morning! It gives me such encouragement to read your blogs Davey and I can't begin to tell you how blessed I feel as my faith has grown deeper and deeper through your families experiences. It is an honor to be able to pray for you and your family and praise Our Father for the miracles that he has performed in Katie. Many blessings to you all!
