It just seems like only the other day since Herman came home but it has been 3 weeks already. Time flies when you're having fun :0) We seem to be making some headway when it comes to something that seems to resemble a routine. However with therapy( OT & PT) coming & going  and another nursing visit (we didn't think wasn't going to happen) a follow up visit to our family doctor and 2 more visits by the company who supplied the wheelchair (for adjustments) it was a busy but pleasant week needless to say.Didn't have time to think about the lack sleep:0).  At the same token it is most important to learn that "Blessed are the flexible for they shall never be bent out of shape." :0) The nurse who came out to discharge him from just the nursing(not OT or PT) is a Christian and we discovered we have many mutual friends. It is always a joy to have that be a part of the visit: blessed fellowship. Herman was also evaluated for an AFO-a brace for his left leg that will give him the added support to help in relearning to walk. We also learned this week how to use a device called pivot/transfer disc. It has really made the trips to the bathroom and the shower so much easier and safer, helping to ease Herman's mind. As for the transfers into and out of the car, that has proved to be most challenging especially the getting in part, as he is going to his weaker side and there is just nothing for Herman to grip. I prayed to the Lord (the only One who is the source of all wisdom) to show me how to smooth that out making it a little easier & safer. I feel the Lord gave me a plan. I ran it by the PT and she said that would work. Praise God. We did a trial run today (and we were hoping it was not going to be mostly trial and error) because it was a reasonably warm day with little wind and no rain (for a change). Herman thought it went better than all of our other attempts. Even those other attempts were modestly successful they were truly lacking in coordination, literally :0) resulting trial and error, mostly error. We just need His strength and  patience to perfect it.

Obviously a work in progress but it is just as we  are before the Lord- a work in progress. He perfects what He starts. He is faithful to bring it to completion and that is our joy and our hope though trials may cloud the way!(Philippians 1:6) I am believing in the days ahead that as the Lord strengthens my husband he will have things restored to him making all this seem as a light affliction as we have learned much at His feet. Nothing greater than learning at His feet!

Thank you all for your continued prayers on our behalf. We know that has helped to carry us through all of this.

In the Name Above All others,
