Day 26- September 14: Updates

Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:31 NASB2020


☀️ Day Updates:

Dad got to get up and go to the bathroom with PT!!!!! ❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Second time already today! And he sat in the chair! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Dr. Said he's close to being ready to go elsewhere! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🎉Probably a few  more days to work on placement and such. He's alert and oriented x4 pretty consistently, knows he needs his helmet on before getting out of bed (and someone to help him etc). It will still be several days at least for them to have him ready/ensure he's ready, but it's getting closer!! Still praying for God's will and provision in placement. 🙏🏻 And timing!!

Dad got his staples out!!! (Over 100!!) ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

And he had Mac and cheese for lunch and chicken noodle soup! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

He fed himself!

He seemed to have a good day. Confused occasionally but overall doing well. He even squeezed in an afternoon nap! 🙌🏻❤️


🌌 Evening Update:

Dad is a bit more confused this evening and has called us all several times. But we've had the opportunity to pray with and encourage him. Praying for peace and rest for him. ❤️🙏🏻


🎉🙌🏻Praise:

We continue to be so amazed by Dad's progress!! Thank you, God!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Also, see all of the praises throughout!! ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🎉 God is so so so good!!!

The medical team said he's a walking miracle! 💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🎉🎉🎉❤️


❤️🙏🏻Prayer Requests:

Continued miraculous healing from head to toe of Dad's body and mind! ❤️ Pain management and rest.

As noted above, God's will, timing and provision for inpatient therapy, that Dad would move to the next thing at exactly the right time and to exactly the right place. We know God will provide!

Continued prayers for our new friends! 🥰🫂🙏🏻 Whether it's people we've had significant interactions with or those we've only briefly seen, we pray for them and their unique situations. Whatever they might be going through that they would know God's nearness, love, and saving grace. And for God to continue using this for His kingdom and for His glory! ❤️❤️🙌🏻

Day 100- November 27th: Discharged!

Image
Today has been such a blessing! Dad was discharged from Upstate and has returned to "Castleview"!!! 🥳🥳🥳  Dad did well on the drive and made it home before any snow storms! 😀 Thank you for your prayers!!  The JP drain was removed from his head yesterday as the drainage had essentially resolved and met criteria for removal. 🙌 A not so comfortable experience but  made it through! Thankful to have his dad there for support during the removal and got a few extra stitches as part of this process. Repeat CT scan was good!  Yesterday had more opportunities to get out of bed and visit with family. Pain had overall been well managed with Tylenol for 24hrs plus. Today, got clearance to shower and had incision cleaned. Learned how to care for the incision and signs to monitor for infection/complications. Plan for follow up in 2wks with neurosurgery to have stitches removed. Dad reports already feeling an overall improvement in mood and feeling "more normal"!🙌❤  Must say,
