Change

Today Marv came up to relieve me of my recliner and duties at the hospital. He's staying with C tonite and is so kind to let me have my bed again at home. Personally if you ask me he just wanted some space on the desk at home to put his elbows. He told me it was a mess but I was like how bad can it be. Uh yea, couldnt see an inch of it, because it was covered in paperwork and unopened mail. I had to take a deep breath, then I grinned and beared it! Just before I left Marv tells me that the computer wasnt working either. Great! :( To make matters worse C was crying because he didnt want me to leave. :( (heartwrenching)

C is getting more and more itchy. While thats a good thing for his healing, its making him more miserable. If you think of C, pray that his stomach would heal inside. He is still on constant nausea medicine. One praise today, C drank about a half of a gatorade. That may not seem like a big feat but for him it is. Plus he didnt throw it up!!! The doc was in this morning to look at C's face graft and is still impressed with the healing. Praise God! The less amount of scarring the better, especially on his face! Yesterday they took a few of the staples out that were behind his ears. Hopefully by the end of the week C will also be able to get rid of his hand bandages. His fingers will be free!!! This will help his physical therapy(PT). Today was the start of Pt as well. I had to turn off C's movie he was watching to get him to concentrate on the tech. That for one didnt impress him. The tech wasnt in very long but there was an exercise C didnt want to do and started crying. Pray that he would cooperative with the PT techs. The sooner he masters the everyday uses of his hands the better for recovery! C is up for a good part of the day now and only needs about 1 nap in the afternoon. I'm kinda dreading the next surgery, just because he's making such great progress right now and I hate to have a set back with the surgery but I know that he needs it.

While driving home today, I was again overwhelmed at the change going on outside. A part of me wants to put the outside world on hold, till we are all back home as a family living under one roof. Oh how I dream of that day! For now though the Lord is granting us strength and patience like I've never experienced in my life. I feel his arms around me and sometimes its through the hug of another person. God is so great and he is all knowing, so I have nothing to lose but everything to gain by allowing him to guide us day by day, hour by hour sometimes. Hoping you will to feel His love today!
