June 8 - He made it!
Bobb made it to Turning Point! A nurse who had originally volunteered to escort him home but because the evac does it all wasn't able to do it, was there to greet him as he arrived at the hospital. God is soooo Good - all the time! The two nurses who escorted him from Cairns to LA said he did well on that leg of the trip. Lance and Jennifer were able to see him a very brief time - from one plane to another and said he looked tired, but was glad to see them however briefly. My parents and Lane arrived shortly after he arrived at the hospital. They said he was one tired puppy.
They began assessments today. I was able to call him this morning. He got stuck on one phrase, but I was able to get some information out of him :-) He said he loved me and by the time our conversation ended we were both in tears. It is so hard to be so far away, but I know this too is God's will for this time. They believe he is an "EXCELLENT" candidate for rehab to which I say AMEN! Sounds like they are starting him out with hard work. He will be getting speech therapy every day, occupational therapy everyday, and physiotherapy everyday. We are so GLAD to have him there where he can begin the process of getting better from the effects of the stroke. We have no idea where God is taking this and are trying to not put our will as God's will :-)
The girls were very happy to see me, but I'm not sure if it was more happy than I was to see them. They are weathering this storm well with grace and love. I had a really hard night last night. It was more difficult than I anticipated. After the girls went to bible studies, I just broke down and cryed. So Hard! I have to buckle down and do my Continuing Education for my professional license - something Bobb and I had planned on doing together in Lae the first of this month - to which we were unable to do. I now plow ahead alone. He had enough hours to finish this year - what he would have finished would have only been bonus - but not me. I am 3 chapters from finishing one course and will need to complete the other course before I leave. Pray for my concentration and ability to stick to the task at hand. Pray for Bobb as he begins a more concentrated program of rehab.
We are blessed with our friends and family and so many prayers around this world. God gave us each of you and we are so thankful.
As a friend said - God is Good....all the time :-)

I am so proud of the two of you. Just push forward and God will take care of all the other stuff. Bobb will do well. I just feel it :) Archie pushed me through all of my strokes and never gave up.
I love you, Vicqui Hook

You both will do well. Just push through. Archie pushed me to my limit and never gave up on me when I had my strokes. You can do the same for Bobb.
Have any questions just ask.
We love you, Archie and Vicqui Hook
