Bob Thomas update (street bike accident)
Phillips, Caleb
When the email first went out about Bob I did not put the all the pieces together at the time on who this was.
Bob is the dad of Jacob and Justin Thomas whom I have grown up with. Jacob is a very old and close friend of mine who in the last year just returned to Austin from playing professional soccer in Germany and Ohio for the past 12yrs.
The short of that story is that it all became a little more personal for me when it all unfolded in the last week and a half.
I just spoke to Jacob today and there have been some unexpected and excellent developments with Bob.
As of today he has opened his eyes, yawned, moved his extremities on command and is in what they call a half conscious state.
Unexplainable according to the doctors as to how he has gone from a complete coma with no brain activity 2wks ago, to this.
Jacob believes that the only reason for this unexplainable change of events, is the power of prayer from so many that have reached out to him and his family. This is an amazing development from when the first email went out.
The doctors have said however that they still have no idea of the extent of brain damage that Bob has received and may not know for quite some time. They have also said that there is no explanation as to how this is happening. (at least no medical explanation) Yea we can give you one….CALLED PRAYER DOC!!!!
He is being moved on Friday to a Neurological clinic here in Austin where he will begin a difficult road to recovery. Please continue to pray for Bob and his family. There is much to be said about the power of prayer and the impact that this could have on others that have been close to this situation. This is an amazing opportunity for The Lord to be exalted especially, if things continue to progress for Bob.
Please keep the Thomas family in your daily prayers, and specifically that the Lord will touch Bob and give him a full recovery.
Then the only explanation will be that it was a true miracle!!!
Thank You,

Wheeled Texans. There is a thread there in the Prayer Request section
about Bob and I thought they would like to know how prayer is
working. If you don't want it posted there, I will remove it.
