First the Positive, then a Prayer Request

Today was cook a meal day.  Lynn made the dish he knows best - spaghetti.  While doing so, he learned how to deal with hot water and grease when you are cooking sitting in the chair as well as hot water when you are cleaning up.  He did a great job and we had a delicious lunch together.

The prayer request is for his emotional health.  He still has  4 1/2 weeks to go before he is scheduled to come home and the toil of being in the hospital  is wearing him down.  You know what it is like - EVERYthing is scheduled and you NEVER get to sleep through the night.  One phlebotomist comes in every morning at 5:00 AM to prick his finger (as of today that will be every other day but still at 5:00).  He wants to see his garden, be in his shop, and maybe even just be alone.  I ask that you pray for strength, patience and peace for him in these coming weeks  ...  He knows he is not ready to be home but he longs for it.  Thank you so much!

  2. Lynn & Nancy,
    You are both in our prayers constantly...and it sounds like there are improvements daily, that is great. Celebrate the small things and maintain your positive attitude.
    Love, Mike & Debbie

  3. Praying for both of you and a quick recovery. It's the least I can do after all of the prayers I know you've said for me over the years.
    Much Love,
