June 20 2006 Amazing what sleep and reunion can do
Bobb and Lenise and I were reunited about 1:00 p.m. pacific time on 19 of June. After a better night sleep :-) It was wonderful and he was really glad to see us as we were him. God has been kind to him in the last 2 weeks. He has made great improvements, and many of the nurses comment on his progress especially about his communication skills. He is doing so much better. There are still lots of missing pieces and a lot of times things don't make sense, but he is finding more words each day and putting them together sometimes in sentences that make sense :-)
His physical improvements have moved right along too. He is standing, he has movement in his left leg and some in his upper arm and shoulder - the arm is further behind, and no finger movement (yet). And they are taking him down the hall with a walker - he doesn't have all the muscles needed in his hip and behind yet to move the leg completely, but its a start.
He will stay at Turning Point as long as he is making improvement. They anticipate 3-4 weeks, but probably more if he keeps improving. They worry that if he doesn't make enough improvement the insurance will quit paying for rehab. So we pray that he will be allowed to stay to get the maximum improvement he can get.
We talked about optimism and pessimism yesterday. He has always been an optimist and me the pessimist. He told me he is still optomistic :-) Occasionally he gets pessimistic, but he moves that out and remembers who God is :-)
I am staying at Herring House across from the hospital for this week. Its for cancer patients unless there is room and they had room for me. Its nice to be close - to stay with him into the evening. Its quite pleasant and the hospital encourages us just being family at the hospital. They also say they like Bobb (whats not to like:-)
I don't have a bible handy right now - but think of a song I heard yesterday - God brings beauty from ashes, ......strength from fear and peace from despair.
Let us hold fast to the Lord and Praise his HOLY name!
