Wedding etc

I know its been a very LOOOOOOOONG time since I wrote in this blog, but....I found tonight a blogspot about a pastor who has aphasia and apraxia like Bobb - and its been 4 years ago and he also has seizures like Bobb and it has inspired me for the moment to resurrect this blog and begin again. I doubt anyone is looking at it lately, but ....I thought I'd do it for my own sanity if nothing else.
Yes, Bobb started having seizures (Grand mal - ugly seizures) that leave his tongue the size of a golf ball inside his mouth and injuries in all kinds of places depending on where the seizure happened - and after he had started driving again!!! - Oh to have independence taken away again - its a hard row to hoe. The medication so far - when he is taking it properly (another long story) is working for which we are very thankful!!
So anyway, when I get a chance I will post wedding pictures of the grand event - Laramie and Christina's wedding - it was an absolutely beautiful fall day in September - the weather couldn't have been more perfect. It was small, intimate, country, and everybody was fed well. AWESOME - Now they are back in Texas :-( and missed by all here in Oregon.

We have one more vascular neurologist appointment in December - and maybe the issue of why the stroke happened will finally be answered. It has something to do with they think a dissection (tear) in his Carotid artery, but there is a 3 hour test he will undergo to confirm that and to see if there are any new emboli forming inside his now many branches of his carotid thanks to that injury. Then there will be decisions to be made and the advice is so conflicting and no matter what we do someone is going to think its the WRONG decision. We desperately need GOD's guidance to know which way to go. Can and will Bobb return to PNG, How does the future look inside Wycliffe - do we move to Texas, Florida, North Carolina, stay here and figure out a good assignment that will work better than the one we have now. Bobb deserves more from life - closure to PNG if nothing else - He gave his all (almost-his physical, and mental, but not his life) for the gospel, but God still has a plan in this and I especially need to be brave in whatever direction God points us at this juncture because someone is going to think we are stupid, and/or faithless no matter which way we go. Please pray we will listen to God's voice!
