Ocean City here we come. . .

This afternoon the kids decided that they "needed" to head to Ocean City. They wanted me to go along - so I did. We really had a good time together. The girls loved chasing the waves and riding some rides. We also "needed" a piece of Mack and Manco pizza for dinner. They don't franchise in Ohio yet. It just wouldn't be quite the same without the seagulls. One of the nicest things was that Aileen - Steve's repiratory theropists called while we were on the boardwalk. She said that NOTHING WAS WRONG, but Steve wanted to talk to me. I had told her what we were doing so she could call if she needed me. She used her personal cell phone and called. Steve sounded great! He was glad that we had gone and that the girls were having a good time. Kimberly will share all the pictures with him later.

What you don't know is that this morning Steve had a headache and they gave him Tylenol and he still had it so they gave him a percaset. I forgot that percaset makes people wacko. Steve was saying some really strange things. He asked if I had enough fruit in the freezer. I was really concerned. Not many people have a supply of fruit in the freezer. When Kevin and I began to talk about Steve this morning - he reminded meof the side effects of that medicine. I felt much better after I talked to him. He definitely had clarity of thought at 7:00pm. PTL

If you could pray along with us as we continue to pray for healing. The DR isn't concerned about the headache - but he has had it almost everyday since the surgery. Please ask God to give us and the DR wisdom with this.

No temp today and the oxygen level was lower more - he is almost down to room air now! His lungs are processing the oxygen just fine - PTL. AND he is still talking and that is truly a blessing from the Lord - amen and amen!

Thank you for all your notes - blog comments - and cards - they are greatly appreciated.

I am happy for you all but definitely jealous of your day in OC! I won't get there this summer, but it is one of my favorite places when I visit my parents.

Thanks so much for keeping up with the blog. I have appreciated reading each day, and it helps me to pray better for all of you!

love, Debbie (Kruse) Jenks

So happy for the great progress! I can't wait to catch up on the up dates. Benjamin asks aboutSteve all the time. (He just moved into an apt. in Queens) There is our miracle. After his surgary Benj. had the headachs for quite a while.
The first ones were that he was having a bleed but after that he had paralizingly bad ones. Percacet really screwed him up so he had to take something else. When he came home I had to make sure that I gave him his pain meds on time round the clock or it would not touch the pain. It was prob. at least a month before they subsided. Give our love the our Boss. Love and prayers for each or you - Linda for the Millek clan.

So glad that you were able to get away to the shore for the day. We have loved the beach this summer as well, despite the crazy cold water. Say hi to Steve for us. Aly and Matthew ask all the time how he is doing. When I told them he had started talking they could barely control themselves. It has been an adventure of prayer and faith for them as well. We will keep praying.
