We have been having very busy days with the children here! And we are very much enjoying them. We also wish we had their energy! I know Mr. Steve would love to have their energy.
Steve is making good progress. We as a family need to remember this. Sometimes we get anxious for him to make big strides when just breathing with smaller levels of oxygen is a big stride. He is doing well. We all are enjoying his sense of humor! Yesterday the nurse said that she was going to give him an insulin needle and that it would hurt. He said, "How would you know?" So everyday is an adventure. Let's keep that perspective - Prov. 19:31 - "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."
Prayer requests for today: that Steve would be willing to participate in the physical therapy with Susan and speech therapy with Lee Anne. His energy level is low and he would rather be "lazy" as he says than endure some pain. I guess he forgets when he was playing sports, "play with pain or no gain." Also I requested him to get tylenol on a schedule rather than wait until he is asked by the nurse. I'm hoping this will take away some of his frustration and allow him to participate in therapy more willingly.
Thank you for all your cards. I read a few of them to him each day. He enjoys them and smiles at the funny comments.
Have a great day with your own "adventure" sent from the Lord!
