We are writing this blog to keep you, family and friends, informed of Miriam's progress.  We know that many of you have already been covering the entire situation with your prayers, and we are so very grateful.  We will add updates as we receive them from Alex.  Please feel free to post words of encouragement and scripture on the blog.  We hope and pray to be able to present this blog to Miriam one day very soon and that she will be able to read it for herself.  The family has been claiming Isaiah 35:6 for Miriam, and we encourage you to as well.  Our God is great and mighty, and we know that He can bring Miriam to full recovery and health.  We eagerly await His answer to our prayers in this way.
