On Thursday, Jan. 8, Hollis got to see his first sunlight in a crystal blue sky, smell the outside air, clean from winter rains, and ride 90 miles in a vehicle to his home ... to his family ... to his own bedroom.  His many friends from our church family had sanitized his room and made it ready for him.

As we pulled up to the house on the periphery of the StraightWay Training Center campus, about 100 adults and children lined the road clapping and cheering with placards in hand welcoming Hollis home ... the result of a 3-month prayer vigil!  This show of love and support brought tears to our eyes---what church community fellowship!

Hollis Enjoys His Siblings! 

Hollis' brothers and sisters were so glad to get their little brother home!

They have been smothering him with affection, and does he ever love it!

 They stood over him for hours, staring in awe at the answer to their prayers, and making him laugh!

"Can I help, Mom?"  they constantly ask.  They have never been more willing and ready to be Mommy's helper ... except for the diapers!
