Huy update

Thank you to all who have been praying for Huy. He has gotten a lot better but is still in serious need of prayers. Here is an update on his condition, current as of yesterday (17 October):

As in the past few days, progress is slow but steady. Huy remains on the ventilator--but now it is doing only 50% of the work--Huy is doing the other 50%. This continues to provide hope that he will soon be off the ventilator. Mr. Nguyen said that yesterday Huy woke up and made eye contact with everyone in the room - and answered questions (by squeezing a visiting seminarian's hand). His persistent agitating cough required that they re-sedate him, but the good news is that he's able to respond so well.
