Staples

So sorry that I've not posted in a couple days. I didnt have a laptop at home and our home computer decided to end up on the fritz. Now we have to look for a new one. I am back at the hospital and have given my hubby a break. He gets 'institutionalized' very quickly when he's here with C. Especially when its beautiful out.

Wednesday forenoon C went in to have all his staples removed. It took Doc and 4 nurses 15 minutes to remove over 500 staples! I was freaking out! I didnt know C's body was big enough to hold that many staples. After Doc was finished he said that he thinks they got all of them but there may be some still embedded under healed edges. They will show up eventually on an x-ray if he missed any. Comforting. Doc said they wont hurt or cause any discomfort because they're not that big and skin just grows around them.

Yesterday C also walked out to the hall from his bed and back in his room to the recliner, all the while just holding onto Mavs and a nurses hands. I was so proud of him! Marv said he cried on the way back. The rest of the day C's legs got the shakes. Out of the blue his legs would start trembling. C thought this is hilarious that his legs shake and he wasnt doing anything. C has been fitted with silicon chin/cheek piece that is to help smooth out the wrinkles from his face graft. Eventaully he will wear it with his Jobst suit but for now they have it bandaged on his face. The OT tech was in to fit C for his gloves/sleeves as well. I'm not sure yet what color I'm going with for his suit, thought I'll let C decide.

On my drive up here yesterday I was listening to my tunes again. The boys were sleeping so I was in my own little world. All of the sudden a song came on that I normally skip over on my cd.
i think the title is call Your Not Shaken. I dont know the artist. The words totally describe my roller coaster of feelings during the whole time.
I am sinking in a river that is raging,
I am drowning will I ever rise to breathe again,
I wanna know why?
I just wanna understand, will I ever know why?
How could this be from your hands?
Chorus
Every little thing that I had dreamed would be, just slips away like water through my
hands
And when it seems the walls of my belief are crashing down like their all made of sand
I wont let go of you now because I know ...Your not Shaken

I am trembling in the darkness of my own fear
All the questions with no answers still grip me while I'm here
And I may never know why
Oh I may not understand, but I will lift up my eyes, and trust this is your plan!

Now matter what the Lord brings my way, I know that he brought us to it and he'll get us through it. Even though I may not understand why or how this accident is going to further His kingdom, its not for us to know just to follow. The Lord loves when he sees obedience in his children. And I want to be obedient to him.

Heres hoping you all have an awesome weekend, despite the rainy forecast! Until next time...
