We just got back from seeing Mom and Dad as well as doing the normal errands that happen when traveling to Reno. Dad is still on the road to recovery, which is always so good to see. As he put it "they check off a box" everyday of the things he must be doing on his own before going home. I guess the other day for therapy they made him push his wheel chair all by himself over to see my mom. He said it was a workout, especially because they would not help him in anyway. If all goes well they will release him in two weeks. My mom continues to be alert, but seems to be frustrated with the inability to talk. Which if you know my mom that makes a lot of sense. Mom has been fitted with a voice speak valve from time to time but has yet to talk through it. She has continued to communicate through nodding or shaking of the head. She also will try and mouth words. Mom got her staples out of her head today. She still has a infection of some sort that they can't seem to figure out. Her high white blood count, and minor fever tells of that. They did take a look at her lungs today and they seem to be ok, although they did take samples from a few area of her lung for testing.
Some prayers need as I wrap up:
-Pray that God continues to heal Arthur and Stephanie
-Pray that God Will heal Stephanie of the infection, and of the Brain injuries
-Pray that God will continue to heal Arthurs ribs and left lower leg.
-Pray that God will give my mom peace as she recovers, so she will not be pulling out the feeding tubes and IVs.
-Pray that Arthur and Stephanie sons will keep our eyes on Jesus, and not take too much on. Also wisdom for the future, and trusting in God to handle the future issues.
Thank you all for the prayers and ongoing concern for my parents and their recovery.

ReplyDeleteGary and I vistited with Stephanie yesterday which was bittersweet as it was my birthday and each year we would celebrate by going for breakfast and a "nursery "shopping spree, for our love of gardening. We are so encouraged by Stephanies progress, each time we visit she gets better and better!! she was very reluctant to let go of my hand, it was a very gentle "tug of war" she would have been the victor, however I won that one :) We are praying and praying for our beloved Stephanie and Arthur.
