Home again, home again jiggity jig
Happy to be home again. And happy I don't have to worry about doctors coming into the living room at dark thirty to smell my morning breath. But we do appreciate all the work each doctor and nurse and therapy friend did for Annie this whole last month, and I will miss the daily feedback and support each of them provided. We made some special friends there & we'll miss them.:(
This morning Annie's friends from Rehab Without Walls came to our house and began putting her through her paces again. No slacking here just because you're home from the hospital, y'know. She took a nap after they left, then we went out for a walk in the sunshine. I am so glad it's almost summer.
What's new? We're working on getting a tricycle like we used in the hospital. A matter for prayer. Riding that trike is something she can DO, and have FUN while DOING it. It's the little things you begin to appreciate more, right? Check out the new picture of biker Annie below. She had just come back from getting an EEG and she looked like the old guy in Back to the Future. Only thing missing is her leathers.
What to pray for? Annie has alot of strength, but not alot of coordination. Her therapists are going to work hard on weight-bearing exercises in her legs, and in her arms and torso so that she can crawl, climb stairs and walk. Pray that her cognitive awareness come back along with her motor skills. Please keep praying that she relearn talking and eating. I know I sound like a broken record.
Jean
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, Yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’”
Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8
