July 2 - Church - OUT!
Today Bobb was out of the hospital for the first time since the stroke. We were allowed to go to one of our supporting churches 10 miles away from Walla Walla, in Milton-Freewater, Oregon. They taught me how to transfer him out of the wheel chair to the car and back out of it. We had plenty of help had something gone wrong, but no disasters today :-)
He was exhausted when we got back to the hospital, but we had time to stop at Dairy Queen and have lunch before we headed back to the hospital and we had him back before the time we said we would. We had to absolve the hospital of all liability should something have gone wrong while we were gone. Bobb signed his own name. Its more legible than his left signature was :-)
Praise to the Father who is in Heaven for today!
Continue to pray for us, we still have a long way to go and patience on both of us can run thin. Bobb wants progress with physio yesterday and I want communication to be clear yesterday. We know that God has his hand in each bit of progress that happens and are thankful for each step, but sometimes we wish for more in a quicker time. I had gone back to Wallowa to take Lenise back to the county and to go to my families early 4th of July picnic. When I got back I saw an envelope that was addressed to his brother so I knew some of his family had visited him. I asked him "who came to see you?" He said "Bobb Lewis" I said "no, you didn't answer my question." I asked again, he answered "Bud and Lorene" - the cd that was in the envelope was a group of pictures from his aunt and uncle's 50th anniversary. I said "no, they weren't physically here." He said "yes" I said "no, they weren't physically in this room" Anyway, sometimes its hard. I'm pretty sure that his brother and sister-in-law came and delivered the CD. He feels so bad when we don't get it. When his receptive aphasia gets the best of both of us. It isn't very often that things go backwards so to speak, but it can be hard.
Have a great 4th of July for those of you who come from the U.S. - celebrate freedom - freedom in Christ! :-)

Bobb & Kayleen, Just want to let you know that we keep you in our prayers. Gods ways are not our ways, and He will reign victorious! Thank you for keeping up on the blog when you can. I hope to be able to connect with you in the not too distant future.

Bobb and Kaylene - You guys are amazing. The depth - and the continuing doing deeper - of your relationship with Christ is so very evident. As I read your words I feel like I'm reading the works of a the saints. Seriously, your insights, your growing trust and your candid and honest responses to this trial bless me and blow me away.
Rob and I pray for you both and for your entire family. May the Lord uphold you, keep you in the shade of his wings, continually strengthen and heal you and give you peace. May you continue to abide in him and give him glory - even your questions and honestly have been god-honoring.
Thank you so much for sharing this time in your life with your friends.
Lovingly - Pat and Rob Wiggins
