Dad didn't fall out a window...Eutychus however...

Good evening...

Just got back from the hospital...For me it seems like whenever I go I spend more time out of his room then actually with him;)

You see, when I get there, he needs a shower, then a bed pan, then privacy, then changing clothes, etc...The list goes on...but Dad continues to tell me that he's happy that I've come to see him and that makes me happy too:)

Dad had his trach taken out today!!!:):):):) YEAHH!!! He also tried food in his mouth as well! Part of his speech therapy they have to give him the 'ok' to eat again...and today they tried some apple sauce and thickened orange juice! And dad did well! (This is all from what my dad told me, what actually happened might be different; but I'll take it!)

His shoulder is still continuing to hurt him. He is continually in pain about this so please pray that he would get some relief.

Today dad got a visitor from our senior pastor at our church who came during one of those 'times' that I always seem to be around for...so he had to step outside for a moment while dad finished his business. When he came back in, dad and him talked for a moment or two and then pastor wanted to pray for him. So during his prayer Dad was 'at peace' and fell asleep. Lucky for him he didn't fall out of a window...but Praise God, he's still alive!:)

For those of you who do not attend our church, pastor spoke on Luke 8 and Acts 20 where there is a story about Paul preaching late into the night and one of the guys, Eutychus, falls asleep in a window and falls to the ground...and lives...its a pretty funny story so read it...

Well...Mom and I are both taking a break from seeing dad tomorrow...both busy girls now...

Good night!

Steve, Jan, Kevin, Kimberly and the rest of the family:

It's Julie Knauff from Jamestown/Shawnee Hills! I just found this blog today. I met someone recently who reminds me so much of Mr. Deichert. On a whim today I Googled him and found a July 18th prayer request for his ER brain surgery. I am so glad to hear you are doing better and will be sure to read all the posts. I posted the blogsite on my Facebook so others can see it, too. Valerie Aiken and Tammy (Rogers) Mullins are both on there. Many hugs and many prayers for all of you. Congratulations Kevin on your new son! Hang in there and keep in touch if possible.

Much love,
Julie Knauff
