Tuesday Update

Just a quick post.  Dad is snoring, so I need to hit the sack real quick to make the most out of his sleep time. :)


Today started off slow, with Dad saying he was really tired, and not really wanting to participate in therapy at first.  Later though, he seemed to be his old self (a little), he shared his story with his speech therapist, about how God had called him into PT, and how the Lord had opened the door to PT school, just 2 days before classes began.  It was great to hear Dad, in his whisper, share part of who he is, and share of God's faithfulness and plan for our lives.


Dad and I watched the Baylor Game on the internet, we couldn't get the channel on the regular TV, and Dad thought that was pretty cool that we could do that on the computer.  He even said, "you know, one day we will look back at this and remember how fun it was to sit here in this bed and watch this together on the internet." 


Yes, we surely will, as we all treasure, even more, every moment we are given together.  By the way, Baylor won, so Dad said he could sleep better now. Sic 'em!! 


Hug your husbands, wives, kids tonight, while you are able to.  God has given us this day.


Dad did share with me that he had to keep trying to make progress.  So, again, he is not done fighting.  He did make some progress today, baby steps, but non-the-less progress.  He told the PT today, that he was planning on going home in 2 days!! She smiled, and said she was glad to know his plans, so she could help him reach his goals faster.  We all smiled.  


Keep praying for strength.  I can't believe how many of you are praying for Dad.  Karen, a friend of mine from our church, shared with me little tidbits from a book she just read, Heaven is for Real.  How encouraging on the prayer part.  It is too much to type here, but basically, this little boy, while on his death bed in the hospital, was given glimpses into heaven.  He told his dad, that he saw God sending down power and wisdom when his dad asked for it.  So, we are asking for power for dad, to do the things he needs to do to get through this.  Praise God He hears us and He answers prayer.


Love to all of you, Goodnight,
