He's Home!!!!!!

I haven't written in a couple of days because it has been a whirlwind of activity.  On Monday I found a toilet that would accomodate Lynn's needs and the plumber said he could install it on Tuesday.  When Rehab heard this, they asked Lynn if he would like to go home on Wednesday instead of Friday.  All goals had been met and they were just waiting for the home situation to be ready.  Of course, Lynn and I jumped at the offer but there were many things to do.  I also was getting my car back from the body shop on Tuesday ( remember it was hit in the hospital parking lot).   The rental was harder to transfer into so I was glad about that.

Anyway, he is HOME after 46 days in a hospital!  It will be a new and challenging life so we ask for your continued prayers.  There are two questions everyone wants to know. 1.) Has he any movement yet?  The answer is no - not yet -but feeling has returned to some areas below the waist.  The doctors continue to say that we won't know for up to two years how permanent the situation will be.  They also say that research is discovering new things about the spinal cord every day so we could very well get help from a new procedure.  2.) How are Lynn's emotions?  I would say pretty good for someone who has experienced such a significant trauma.  There are times of why me? but 85% of our day he is focused on what he needs to do to living an independent and good life.

I do know what helps him.  It is knowing how many of you are praying for him and supporting him in so many ways.  That always picks him up so don't stop now.  We believe in miracles and God's healing touch so keep those prayers flowing.

  3. Lynn and Nancy,

    Nothng like sleeping in your own bed to make things feel like home again. I am so awed, to think of the courage, faith, fortitude and grace that has happened since square one to waking up at home together again. You are an inspiration beyond compare.
    Prayers of thanksgiving and praise and healing and love,
